Slacker First Class

I would have been very impressed... If the developers expanded the longevity of it. I feel as if this game had a couple of major drawbacks, first the length of course, the length doesnt follow the concept of the story very well, I wonder if it was even the true story and not just a draft for the original background. Second, the level design wasnt up to snuff with resident evil, it felt more like a poorly designed house of the dead. Third, As much as I dont care about graphics that greatly, the effects are far from what I call a "nightmarish atmosphere". Sorry if that doesnt sound too intelligent, But I was hoping this would've beat dead rising in terms of entertainment. But the originality is where its at, and its very dark and apocalyptic despite the above mentioned. - Aaron Lee.

Though I have not played the game, thus I'm not really in the position to judge it, it seems more oriented to online. Which is fine, except I saw some videos of online play and they looked... blah. Some features seemed okay, but it looked like just a bunch of running around and killing zombies, OR being a zombie and getting killed very quickly.

Have you played online, Aaron? If so, how does it measure up?

its a fast-paced team-based arcade-style zombie shoot 'em up. there is no depth to this game at all- very linear, with 4 quick levels that take a little under an hour each. you can finish the entire game in less than 4 hours, if that's your "thing."

on the other hand, the cooperative work is essential to the gameplay, the thrills are truly thrilling, and its just plain fun to mow down horde after zombie horde.
there are 6 types of guns to choose from, along with some fun projectiles to throw, explode, and blast things that come at you.

if youre looking for a stat-building rpg, look elsewhere. this is a nice change of pace to overcomplicated games- just pop in and play for an hour, or at least until you get all your evil urges out.
