4 campaigns with plenty of replayablity. Along with versus mode and the new 'survival mode' thats soon to be released.Ganado_Headshot said:
But i'd have to admit L4D, RE4 and Dead Rising all brought different aspects i'd wanted from a zombie game.
Both L4D and Dead Rising shared the slaughtering heaps of zombies side.
While Dead Rising was more of a "survive in here for so long" survival.
L4D had the multiplayer co-operative side that makes up what zombie thrillers are about.
But RE4 had more horror and intensity and plot than the others.
So in truth...I can't choose one...
Well Las Plagas is pretty similar to the T-virus, at least. The peasants pretty much lost free will, acted like zombies, transformed and mutated, and I remember a few of them trying to bite me occasionally. So basically they're like smarter, living zombies (I don't know if they can infect you by biting you though).damn12369 said:
Dead Rising was an amazingly fun game to play.
Except, you know... Frank has a deformed nose and all...
But smashing zombies' heads with a mailbox? You can't get more fun than that!

Left 4 Dead.
How come no one ever suggested playing as the zombies?
I love the feeling of pouncing off a rooftop and landing on someone and subsequently tearing his nipples off.
Even more when the guy next to him doesn't know how to play an FPS, and shoots the victim instead of me.

I agree, L4D was an alright online co-op shooter but it isn't particularly long lived and it doesn't feel like a true zombie game. Granted, the AI director supposedly mixes things up a bit but I often found this to be more frustrating than refreshing (oddly enough, encountering three tanks and a witch in the space of five minutes is fairly annoying), in retrospect I think Valve should have ditched the random events crap and stuck with a more predictable set up (as it is most campaigns turn into disorganised disasters by the second level, they should have gone for what I once heard someone call 'organised chaos' that being where it feels like everything is manic and chaotic but it is in fact well planned and rehearsed).Ganado_Headshot said:
L4D didn't feel like a zombie game for the simple reason of you kill too many zombies and too quickly, zombies are supposed to be extremely tough and unstoppable, killing reams of them with a single, not very well placed shotgun shell kills the threat that pose along with any tension or fear. Dead Rising also had a monumental number of zombies but each zombie was considerably more difficult to dispatch which kept it in check with the zombie style (notice how in movies the survivors never have to kill that many zombies and that every single one is a challange to down).
I have always loved the House of the Dead series for the fact that I love the experience of being in an arcade to play them (the plastic shotgun/uzi makes everything feel much better), I liked all of them quite a lot (and they are fairly simmilar) so I can't honestly pick between them (if pushed I'll say Overkill).
Left 4 Dead is the core of a zombie game. No explanation, no cut scenes. Just a whole lot of fun.
I would say left for dead was the best I have played, but in defense of the other games, I have not played any of the resident evil or house of the dead games.
