I find it very offensive that they've portrayed the leftist protesters as zombies, because this implies they were once intelligent.

Amazing game. More accurate news then CNN. Bought it on discount myself, but this is the first game I recommend buying at full price. Support Based Games

I am ambivalent to this stupid arcade game. The game peaks at level 20. Maybe level 40. There are 100 levels. However, as of writing this review, I have 80 hours into it and am closing in on level 100. If I recommend if you do or don't get it depends on what you want out of it. Based on the global achievements, it seems most people have fun in the lower levels then move on to better games.
