Pros:

+Killing zombies is fun for a while

+Excellent weapon selection, can kill zombies with basically anything around you

+Hilarious clothes options that are rendered in cutscenes, so you can have the most serious conversations wearing some kids dungarees

+Kills can be impressively brutal sometimes

+Decent sense of humour

+Some good characters

+Runs really well. Although that could be down to the mediocre graphics. Still have to give them credit for maintaining good performance with 200+ actors onscreen.

+Good story with alright voice acting.

+/- Combo weapons are great. Unfortunately most of them are virtually useless (bar things like the spiked bat). Fun and interesting ideas, but useless nonetheless.



Cons:

-Constantly on a timer for everything. You wanted to run around, kill zombies, level up and explore the city? Too bad, heres a constant shopping lists of fetch quests for you. Miss one time limit for a main quest and you'll have to load a save. Impossible to get there in time? Game over. Permanently.

-Hideously broken boss fights eg Brandon, Leon are absurdly difficult, uninspired and really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying, mostly because of...

-Completely broken and barely functional save "system". Unlike most sensible open world games (which have a quick save) this game requires you to visit a bathroom to save, which are scattered around the city. Except there are about 5 for the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ city (and one of them is occupied by one of the ridiculously OP bosses) and no other method of saving. So enjoy running somewhere for 2 hours only to get killed by a boss and being forced to go back and replay the whole thing again.

-Godawful controls. Non rebindable keys is just the beginning. Vehicles control like Chuck is on crack. Thought it would be fixed with a controller but no, it's just that ♥♥♥♥. Far too sensitive making driving a nightmare. Some of the gambling minigames are absolutely impossible because the game gives you 0.002 seconds to react to a quicktime event. Which brings us to...

-Quicktime events! Everyone's favourite form of well designed and well thought out gameplay that is both stimulating and enjoyable. Featuring such delights as having to waggle your mouse around at the speed of light every 2 seconds because a zombie grabbed you or risk losing health. Or even better, getting grabbed by a special zombie that drags you to the ground and takes off more health unless you hit the right key. I think we can all agree this is balanced and really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun. Of course this is a symptom of a much bigger problem which is...

-Terrible console port! You know 'em, you hate 'em. Although it is Capcom so I'm not sure why I was surprised. But it carries all the features of a ♥♥♥♥ port including but not limited to very few graphics options, save slots, and the previously mentioned lack of rebindable keys etc

-Load times everywhere! Game is split into many sections, each of which requires a nice annoying load time to get to.

-Guns are rare and have very limited ammo, which makes things like the handgun pretty much useless. Chewing through a max. 30 zombies sounds nice until you realise that doesn't even make a dent in the horde.

-Weapon durability is very low. Not a big problem since there's so much stuff around but can be annoying when you've found a fun weapon that you really want to kill stuff with and have it break after killing 10 zombies.



Overall 4/10. If you can stand the constant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the zombie killing is good fun. There are better zombie games out there though.
