Played the Demo and it was just like every other Zombie game passed the third Resident Evil. Walk/Run around shoot, aimlessly move towards your goal and hope you don't die. It is a bad game because it focuses on Graphics and the Gameplay is mild at best.

These first two quotes go to show that you've in fact NOT played the game. Quite possibly this is due to budget constraints, a low end PC, the M rating, zombie racism, or any other number of reasons. Either way, if you HAD played the game, you'd have noted that the above statement was pulled straight out of your a$$. Graphics are not the show here, nor were they advertised as such, despite being rather polished for a somewhat dated engine. Even the majority of posts here seem to point out your blatant stupidity; giving note to the great versatility of the game, and its near infinite replay value (especially with VS mode). Spend 10 minutes with the game, and I guarantee you'll spend countless more. Unless of course you're playing alone, which the case may very well be given your rather high opinion of yourself; the game was not meant to be played solo. Most likely what happened if you DID play the game was you charged willy nilly RAMBO style, got your a$$ handed to you, and said the game sucked because you got owned on Normal or Easy mode.

People I knew that said this game was the sh** last week have already stopped playing it lol. It is a bad game and uncle NodMan, is always right.

Uncle NodMan would be lucky to have people tell them their opinion of the game in person. The aforementioned "people" don't exist. Even the crappiest of reviews gave it an 8, and they were whining about single player play. Uncle Nod must have a terrible track record here if he's as adamant about this as he must be of other views. Thankfully, the majority of the community here has its head on straight, and doesn't take this fellow for face value. A shame the internet gives the village idiots an audience again.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of playing the game, a brief run down. 4 player co-op, as you've probably gathered from earlier posts, in which co-op is MANDATORY. Nod here probably played with his friends at the morgue or something and hated the results. Mind you, the game won't "force" you to play together per se, but if everyone thinks they're a one man army, the game WILL show you you're wrong, and fast. Special "boss" zombies, while weak in a head on fight, capitalize on these moments when the group splits up; their attacks often immobilize the player unless another teammate directly helps them out, so if Johnny Rambo is separated from the group being ripped apart by a Hunter, it's his fault that his friends aren't nearby to help. Conversely, sticking together not only minimizes the above scenarios, but makes getting through levels on the harder settings (only modes worth playing) more likely (though still challenging). The game has a way of getting 4 random people to work together (as far as I've seen in the PC community, can't say for the 360 crowd; and you'll still have ego filled people like Nod ruining groups). which I haven't had the pleasure of finding in the countless games I've played over the years.

In addition, the game sports a VS mode, which is essentially the campaigns cloned, but the boss zombies are played by human players. This adds a ton of replayability, as the game gets exponentially harder and more interesting with humans governing the boss zombies. However, the Infected side takes even more skill and patience to excel at. While the survivors can make due with 4 decent FPS shooter players, the Infected side HAS to work together; no ifs ands or buts. 1 by 1 rushes will get the Infected team nowhere, because although their attacks are strong, they die to a mere few shots. But when you do land that perfect ambush; a Boomer blinds the survivors and attracts a rushing zombie horde while a smoker singles out a survivor from the rooftops and hangs him to die, and hunters gank another fellow, all the while they're frantically screaming on the mics for help and confused with all the attacks...you can't help but give out a small sadistic giggle at the mayhem you just brought upon the other team.

This game is full of moments you can recall later with gaming friends, and a whole lot of tense teamplay. You don't disappear into the fray as a member of a 12 man team like you would in TF2; you're integral to the team, and with the right people, you'll be hard pressed to have a better time on any gaming platform.

Graphics are all this game is about? Hardly. Nod, you may be seated.

Quoted for truth.
