Zombie Derby is the latest undead game for our Windows Phone that has you battling the zombie apocalypse by running them down with your truck. The goal is to see how far you can travel down the road and how many zombies you can turn into hood ornaments. You can accessorize your vehicles with machine guns, turbo boost, and spiked bumpers. Zombie Derby is an interesting game for your Windows Phone 8 device. The game starts a little on the slow side but once you've earned enough to pimp your ride, it picks up speed nicely. It's a fun game but poorly implemented in-app purchases can hold Zombie Derby back.

When you first launch Zombie Derby, you'll be prompted to enter your screen name that will be used with the leaderboard. From there you'll be sent to the main menu. Best VPN providers 2020: Learn about ExpressVPN, NordVPN & more

The main menu for Zombie Derby is splattered with options that include your game settings (music/sound levels), links to the game's Facebook, Twitter and Windows Phone Store pages, and access to the game's leaderboard, achievements, and the about screen. Game play is spread across five scenic environments that are progressively unlocked as you gain experience. You also have a tutorial level that walks you through the game's controls. There's not a help section so the tutorial does come in handy.

Before you head into the game to run down the zombies, you'll visit the Zombie Derby garage where you can choose your truck and purchase gear and upgrades with the coins you earn during game play. There are five different trucks to choose from ranging from an old step side truck to a crop harvester. As with the gaming environments, as you progress in experience additional trucks become unlocked. If you want to get a jump on things, coins can be purchased in-app. The game screen for Zombie Derby has your truck's dashboard in the upper left corner (speedometer, fuel levels, etc), your accelerator and turbo boost (when equipped) controls in the lower right corner and your weapons control (again, when equipped) in the lower left corner. Along the bottom of the screen is a progress bar noting how far you've traveled. You control your truck's balance while airborne with your Windows Phone tilt controls.
