Default Zombie Panic in Wonderland!

This game looks awesome! I've read some 7/10 reviews, but I have never liked reviews. What is the general consensus of vc-forums?

That reviews are awesome for their words, not their numbers.

I haven't played it, but I know at least a few of our Euros here have downloaded it. It does look like a pretty swell rail shooter, so if you're a fan of the genre then it could be a good value purchase.

It's a fun game but whether it is worth the 1000 point price tag is debatable.

It has some great graphics and music and the basic game engine is pretty much that. Strafe from left to right shooting everything that moves and the environment around you.

There are 3 stages of three levels (+ bonus level), two difficulty levels and a number of unlockable characters. The two player mode is good in that it means that you can keep going even after your character dies which makes for a more accessible experience. The bosses though are wildly unbalanced and get easier as the game progresses.

It's a challenging game and if you're a high score junkie then there is scope for replay. It's best experienced in small chunks rather than marathon sessions.

I'm just finishing up. I got to 98% complete on the penultimate level then ran out of time so I guess I should complete it next time.

It is a good game but I agree on playing in short doses. The last boss i fought was easier so I'm going to go along with the comments on that issue too but all in all I'd say it's a solid shooter and worth the purchase if you like that sort of thing.

BTW, the game is more like Wild Guns and Cabal rather than what you might consider a rail shooter (e.g. Star Fox, House Of The Dead)...just saying.
