The Building is personally the most horrendous thing i've ever seen, the upgrade system doesn't even let you gain the stronger weapons or upgrades until like wave 7, and that's without spending any of your skill points or upgrade points, you can't move misplaced items, you can't remove damaged barricades, the zombies hit like a truck if you're caught in the wrong situation, and usually it's always a death sentence...
