"Plays exactly like arcade with move sharshooter!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you always dreamed about light gun arcade cabinet in your garage this is second best thing =)

Plays very smooth and surprisingly precise with psmove and sharshooter attachment. Very little lag, similar to one you get in arcades, reload action on sharshooter adds extra flavor.

Game itself is a new record holder for amount of word ‘f***’ used in video game, not for everyone taste I suppose..

"I dunno bout this one"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

In my honest opinion, I don't think this game is worth $80 as advertised. Even though I got this game a lot cheaper through daily deals (and am
A big fan of zombies) I was pretty disappointed. Game started to get a bit boring and repetitive, I didn't like how you couldn't control the character on screen , and all the swearing through out the game seemed to be what they used to compromise the game.

However, the way it was set out looks pretty cool all the main menu and some cool songs to Match the game nicely. Also, multiplayer in the story mode and mini games was cool for a Change.

Overall, I don't think this is the best zombie game out there, but I mean what's not to love about blasting zombies heads off :)

"Point + Shoot + Kill = Fun"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Considering there aren't many games like this for PS Move, it's hard for this one not to be enjoyable!

Ridiculous plot, but that's besides the point of this style of game right-

"Good Easy Game"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good for a beginner gamer.

"Action packed self awareness!"
4 stars"

I have played this game on the wii, and I had just as much fun with it then then I had with the ps3!

Clearly not a game for everyone. It's pretty heavy on swearing but it's self aware and has a certain charm to it.

Gameplay is satisfying, visiting cliche environments one would expect from a zombie killing game, your eyes rolling as you visit a lab facility, circus, train etc. What stands out most of all is the very end… If it didn't make you laugh, perhaps the game isn't for you…

All and all, a decent game with a great soundtrack, addictive gameplay and writing that should have you laughing the whole time :)

"Hilarious Shoot em Up"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good for a laugh, this piss-take of a hollywood film production is very enjoyable, good to play with mates. it's not very long which depending who you are may be unfortunate, though if it were much longer the gameplay would become repetitive. however it's a good short length and the script is “well written”

"Fast action PS3 game that is a lot of fun"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A difficult game to play using the controller although it gets easier with time. Never tried with PS Move although I imagine it would be easier. Challenging game that keep you entertained. Lots of swearing in the movie sequences which gets a bit tiring…

"On-Rails Shooter Fun"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Plays a lot like the original HotD arcade series with heavier grind-house influences. Good fun and the gameplay is enjoyable, but there are a lot of cutscenes which you will be forced to sit through, and they're not exactly the best cutscenes ever made. Otherwise has enough depth and classic on-rails shooter fun for HotD fans to get nostalgia from.

"HHHHHmmmmmm not bad just not good."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Even I got fed up with the swearing sound track.

But it plays fine with the move sharpshooter and the 3D isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Funny story line but the foul language soon wears thin and ultimately lets this down.

"Like it ...."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Unsure if I was going to like it when I bought it ........... Great game when you get into it ...........

"Nice shooter port"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Fun game esp. if you own the move controllers. Have played the Time Crisis games so this was a nice addition to try for PS3 if your into the light gun shooters at the arcades.

There are also a lot of content to find, shoot and unlock such as: Audio Tracks, Comic Book Pages, Artwork and 3D Models to add replay value.

Multiplayer/co-op is a great experience with others as well and the game has hilarious moments.

"This game is great"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Would be even better if I had ps3 move :)

"Fantastic Game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a really fun game, and I've honestly hardly even begun to get into it yet. It's a little difficult to play by yourself, especially in the beginning with slow reload speed and low damage on your weapons, but once you upgrade them a little, you can go back and DOMINATE the first levels you face!

"Grandaughter loves it"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Gave this game to my grandaughter who in turn shared it with the boyfriend and they are both frequent users of it
