There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Despite this game getting low rating scores from some reviewers, I feel this game has a lot to offer to the Survival-Horror genre. More emphasis on survival than horror, if I must say so myself.
If you're looking for a nice, deep story then please look elsewhere. Whilst this game has a story of sorts, it really isn't deep enough to get involved with because it doesn't really have a main character. I'll explain more about it later. So it's set in 2012, London during a zombie apocalypse. You stumble across a safe house in a train station, watched over a guy called the "Prepper". You have to perform missions for the Prepper, and a story of sorts begins to unfold, trying to find a cure called the panacea for this zombification.
Now onto the gameplay. The Wii U Game Pad is definitely integrated well into gameplay here. The Game Pad is used as a map, and also you can switch to your inventory with ease, and use items as needed. When you go into your inventory, your character appears to be checking his backpack on the TV screen, leaving you susceptible to zombie attacks. Before this game was released, there was a huge emphasis on this feature. Really, you rarely get attacked by zombies, as there are few around during areas.
Ah, zombies. If you're the sort who goes up to enemies in a game and kill them, you may need to reconsider your tactics. Whilst firearms are available, ammo is scarce, so unless you have an accurate shot, they're not really useful. Confronting two or more zombies is a death sentence. There is always the chance that they'll overwhelm you, and kill you. This happened to me often, and I was forced to change my way of thinking.
Now, when you die, you quite literally die. You lose all your stuff that character carried around, and sometimes this can be a problem, especially when you die in a heavy populated area of zombies. You have the option to go back and get the items you lost, but if you get killed on the way to retrieve your items, then tough. This is such a harsh punishment, especially when your previous character had useful items.
There are definitely horror elements in this game. There are a few moments where a zombie jumps out at you, and they are pretty scary the first time around. Heck, in the Sewers there was a zombie that was detected on my radar, I knew it was there, but it still scared me when it jumped out at me.
However, a bad thing about this game is the fact there is a game breaking bug.
**SPOILER**
When you complete the game, and fly away on the helicopter another survivor stumble across the train station, an option should be available where you can start the game again, with the items you got during your previous game, on the same save file. Sadly, you won't be able to access this save file; selecting it does nothing.
So to conclude, Zombi U is a must-own for Wii U, it's definitely a decent survivor-horror game. If you're looking for quite a long gaming experience with this game, it's sad to say that it's quite short; I managed to complete this game 100% in a measley 14 hours.
RATING: 4/5
To elaborates on what the game is, there is an outbreak of zombie which has taken the entire world and you are a normal lad/lass trying to survive in this new horrible world. Again you are not an operative/soldier or agent of MI5 who try to regain control of London where the setting of the game is. And you won't get any fast pack action thing where you shoot 300 zombies with one mega supa dupa gun. It's more resident evil 1 than resident evil 6 or Mass effect type of game.
The game is following the instructions of the guy who knew it was coming, seems well prepared and cosy in his safe house. To accomplish your missions :You have your modified tablet, your bag, and a gun with realistic amount of ammo.
The game seems to play on the realistic touch in a possible but unlikely situation. Like when you died, you won't play the same character and nearly start from scratch. You may find your previous character being now a zombie and try to kill you. You have one save and can't just use the same character even if you reset the game, cause it save nearly straight away before you get killed.
The game is fun and if you like puzzle and slow pace action then that game will please you. The only criticism I have is the control and the bad texture of the game as well as bugs from now and then. OK It's one of the first game on Wii U and we can excuse the developers who don't have much experience with the hardware and the architecture of the console. Nevertheless I can't forgive the glitch and the controller (hence 4 stars)
Pro
- Good survival game. Not a shooting game with zombie
- Challenging and seems to stay realistic while the setting is fantasy.
- very good use of the gamepad
- good capture of London area
- one of few mature game for adults
Cons
- Lack of texture in some area
- no good for extra realistic graphic enthusiasm
- Controller are a bit lagging.
- I welcome the lack of gun or similar but could have done with knives or other kind of weapons.
