Downloaded the demo and i have to say - i like it. Great fun playing with 3 other people surviving the Zombies. If you had 3 mates playing alongside you then this game would be great.

Don't know how much replay value it will have but hopefully the price will be slightly lower. Really enjoyed the demo and while the graphics in game are not the best they do work well and the game seemed to flow pretty well.

Will probably wait a few weeks and then pick this one up when my mates do or if people on here are going to get it. Quite satisfying smacking a Zombie with a shotgun around the head to protect your mate!

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this one, and if your thinking about getting it!

For me, its the mods and ai director that will be the deciding factor. Play with chums and its not bad, play with the AI and its a bit dull.


If you're going for the pc, its deciding whether to shell out 19.97 to preorder it. Its immensely appealing. But i have my reservations as to how long it'll last. Its not like UT where you had lashings of the good stuff.

It is very much worth a look, i do not know how much i would pay for it, because once you have gone through it then that would probably be it unless the achievements looked appealing. But i imagine the story will not be the greatest but form what i played, controls, graphics and all in all it was good...... one i will put on "the list"

i've got the demo and its not bad online. I only managed to complete the demo once on expert with some online chums (one friend and his friend) and it was tough. Only me and one other person survived. (i could tell you the epic story but thats boring)

The AI isn't bad as it'll frequently coordinate with you whereas 3 human players is much tougher.

But having played it several times. I've found the game a bit boringly now. Whilst it boasts that each game is unique, the events are relatively similar. Theres only so many places that you could spawn weapons or extra ammo locations and the linearity of the game means it limits it further.

Another concern is the last appeal of the levels. Unless mods and lots and lots of maps are churned out the few maps in the 4 chapters isn't going to last long. I sat through the demo in less then an hour.


still torn whether to get it or not. 19.99 isn't breaking the bank, but still...


we should try a Freeola l4d session or something on the pc.

Most pathetic moment in l4d? Joining a game during a fight and within less then a minuate i was already dead.

Downloaded but still not played. Looks fun. Will be on this as soon as I can.

The COD5 Zombie Nazi game looks fun online as well, getting credits to open up new part of the house while Zombies invade.
