Dude, the end to this review is kinda spoilerific, don't ya think? I mean I know anyone who has the game and DLC probably already knows how it ends, but still...

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't played the DLC yet and now I'm pretty sure I can correctly guess the fate of John Marsten.

I have actually not played RDR.. It just didn't seem appealing. That being said I am a huge Zombie fan.. With the positive reviews of the game and Zombie DLC, I might have to give RDR a chance when the price drops a bit.

You wont have to buy the full game as rockstar are releasing all dlc on a disc (thats Undead and all multiplayer Dlc)
So undead night mare should be in your local game shop

Red Dead Redemption main game spoiler.

Spoiler

If you played the original game, you already know he dies. It kind of follows on that.

Dude wtf, spoiler alert!

 

[Valagetti]

Its a great DLC, but it doesn't have the replay value!

 

[Russ Pitts]

Its a great DLC, but it doesn't have the replay value!

I would agree with that. even after coming back as Zombie John, I'm not feeling all that motivated to track down the remaining challenges.

Also, I'm generally sensitive to spoilers, but I'm having a really hard time giving two craps about this one. Sorry guys.

If it makes you feel any better, I held off mentioning anything about how (or not) the zombie plague is cured. But the fact that you can keep playing after you finish as a zombie John Marston? Fair game in my book. That's just plain awesome, and worth mentioning.

Y'know you can get this on disc, does it give you the online multiplayer or do you still need the original RDR? And if so, do you install the entire Undead Nightmare OFF the disc ONTO the hard-drive?

The box doesn't exaplain ANYTHING, and in all fairness the disc version is somewhat over-priced.

How many Zombies do we need? It's over. Lame. no matter how well executed it is, its still jumped on the bandwagon long after the mule pulling it died of old age. Get a life, Undead.

But is it fun? Who cares if it's an overused concept if you're having a blast.


Perhaps the zombie skin was just an extra set of clothing for giggles? I know it's not, just think of it that way

Wow. This review is... tardy, to say the least. Good nonetheless. It's a great bit of DLC and I would recommend it to anyone still on the fence.

yeah no kidding its late. this dlc was out when? *googles* over a month ago? wow.

 

[valkyrschosen]

There is a definite reason that this should be amazing- it seems to be based off or inspired by the table top RPG, Deadlands.

 

[The Random One]

Mad props to Rockstar for taking this silly 'zombies lol' concept that's been getting stuck in otherwise realistic games and running with it until it has a heart attack. Even if it had been bad I would support it.

 

[duchaked]

wtf spoiler!!

I mean I know this review is kinda late but...ah well haha I kinda guessed it by the game cover hurr hurr

 

[Aptspire]

definite GET now

 

[Korias]

Wait a second. Did no one else pick up on the whole "And then John was a zombie" meme that's right there? Just me?

In retrospect though, I shouldn't have sold my copy back. I was thinking this was going to be absolute crap, but people say otherwise.

Totally second this. Thanks for ruining the end of the game. I got RDR ages ago, and kept getting distracted by RL stuff, so i've avoided spoilers like the plague (even though i kinda know whats going to happen) - and to have the end of this spoiled has ruined my mood on it. Cheers for that.

There's no reason this DLC should be this good.

Just wondering Russ but did the lack of ammo during the game give you any real troubles at all? I know they mentioned it during the trailers and in your review but no one has said just how bad the lack of ammo is for it. Still, awesome review and I'm glad to hear that DLC is awesome!
