What players say

It has some issues, but with mouse and keyboard the game gets even better. The game is made for single player but coop makes it even better like halo combat evolved, same engine.

Does anyone realize this game was way ahead of its time! Still to this day on one has created a zombie sandbox game like the old Halo studio! Classic! The zombie game!

I really liked the game and the absurdity of the story. Would I play it again? Not really. It really shows that his is an old game with the issues that I had with AI and the gameplay. But I really enjoyed most of the game :b
