Ok, 1UP says this is the best shitty game you'll ever play? Hmn......I don't know if to take them seriously or just ignore them completely.

What do you think then?

I think the gameplay is pretty basic but it is fun. They went as far as to criticize the cutscenes which I think they are VERY well done. So I don't know if they are taking the game and reviewing it thinking it is a joke of a game.

I wouldn't call it shitty either, because it's way too good for that. I'd just say there won't be much replay value, but it should last us for a good 20 hours (to really finish the game). It is going to get old fairly quickly, but we'll have a good time before that happens.

I myself am 90% sure of buying this game. Sure, they could have added a more robust physics engine, and include the zombies in those physics which would make the gameplay a whole lot better. They could have designed the game in a way that we don't have to restart just for missing out on an important mission.

But I need a new game this month, and that would be Dead Rising or Saint's Row, and this looks a whole lot more polished, and it's the kind of game you won't get that often. Sadly for Saint's Row, I don't accept such horrible technical problems (I don't think it'll be fixed as they say), and I know there will be plenty of those games, including GTA.

I just gotta read a couple of proper reviews, but like I've said for the 10000th time, I think I'm getting this one :D

Cheers for that...
Yeah, I dunno, at first when I saw this game, I thought it was just another boring hack & slash game and I didn't even bother with it after that.
But when the media was a bit shy at some point, I decided to dig into it a bit more, to see if I could get into it.

And surprisingly, I started to see the fun in it, the ridiculous ways you can kill the zombies, the fact that you can roam freely in a huge shopping mall, the pretty good graphics with smooth performance all got me very interested in this game.

Now, all the feedback I hear about this game, isn't all that great, but I think it's worth a shot, and it's definitely a nice change for what I have in my 360 games collection at the moment.
I still haven't tried the demo, and I also have watched the 1up review yet, so I dunno about that.

And yeah, I feel exactly the same about Saint's Row, I've had some fun with the demo, despite the horrible framerate.
I actually went on a Tour de City with the train today and that was rather amusing, but if that is how the final version is, I'll definitely won't buy it, even if it's just a mather of principals.
However, I really hope the final version is smooth, cause I know I can have some fun with this game....

I think another problem with the demo which made people think the game is going to be so boring is that there are no NPCs in the Demo. People That you help out.

Just found a Katana. Go to the second floor and go to that columbian restuarant and go towards the edge where you can jump down from the second floor. If you look there will be this orange thing you can jump on and there's the katana. So far it's the most gruesome weapon.

Found an Uzi and You can also make your own beverages where they have an effect on you. Mix like bread and orange juice to make a beverage where the zombies dont want to eat you, just hit you. To get the uzi go to the stairs that leads to the womens purse store. You will see this blue platform. Jump on it. Keep going around it. You will notice a Teddy bear, box , and orange juice. Just keep going around it until you find the uzi.

Yes I know, I played this demo too many times.

Next tuesday cannot come soon enough!!! That video was amazing! If thats not fun, then I don't know what is! Capcom is on fire!

Does anyone know how to choose the attack method with weapons though? The sickle and sledge hammer have two different attacks. A wide sweeping attack, and an acute focused attack killing a single zombie. For me, these attacks alternate at random. What are your guys' findings?

Tap attack or hold attack.

It's nothing compared to the excavator believe me! I doubt that's in the demo though, only just downloading it now.

The NPC's add a lot to the game, sounds like Capcom could have done better with the demo but hey, give them some kudos for getting it out on a Friday and before the game is released.

Ha ha the katana was fun. Overall a very good game! Sadly we Europeans we’ll have to wait an extra month…

Sigh… :)

I'm having a lot of fun with this demo as well. Favorite weapon so far are the pies lol... throwing them and watching them stick to a zombie's face never gets old! Will have to go back and look for that katana and uzi now... :D

So far I've loved the N3 demo, Saint's Row is pretty fun, and Dead Rising looks like it could be a winner... definitely buying N3 but can't decide if I should get Saint's Row or Dead Rising yet this month. Can't afford all three. :(

I played the demo and I think it's hilarious.
I mainly agree with the 1up guys, it has it's quirks and is far from perfect, and there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's just to hilarious not to pick up...

Though, killing the zombies would get old after a while, if the story holds up and the missions are fun enough, this can be a very fun game, for sure.

Anyone run in to that cutscene where he ends up in some storage room full with zombies, but only seems bothered by the wasp that's anoying him, that's just to funny...:)
