Though a bit rough around the corners now, this game is just a really fun and unique game. Haven't seen a game that let's you be the zombie, something I miss about older games is letting you be the monster, and also be the perfect zombie outbreak game.
The story is mid 00s "funny". Lots of bad jokes and wacky characters. Beyond that, the only issue I have is checkpoints. This game gets pretty hard near the end and there is a distinct lack of checkpoints. Beyond that, great game.

As a short distraction to play through once in co-op, it's decently fun. Can't imagine it being as fun in solo play. Otherwise this is mainly noteworthy as a historical curiosity for using Halo's engine. The disc doesn't have the final updated version on here so I can only even boot it if I disconnect my Xbox from the internet, it refuses to boot because it looks for an update that doesn't exist, so it's gonna be one of those rare games that I remove from my collection. Ah well, could've been a decent Halloween season replay.
That was a very fun experience as a first time player! I know I would have loved this game as a kid.
There is so much charm with this game and you can tell there was a lot of love put into it apart from some very annoying levels and somewhat repetitive gameplay as the game continued.
The playthrough was pretty flawless for the most part besides 1 hard crash that I had encountered.

I really wanted to like this game. The idea of controlling your own zombie army is great, the setting is fun... and that's it. The story is basically non-existent, which would be fine if it didn't keep giving you unskippable cutscenes and tutorials. The visuals are kind of nauseating with horrible "zombo-vision" film effects you can't turn off (at least you can turn off the green tint) and really look nothing like the screenshots in terms of quality. The sound has been broken for over fifteen years, resulting in no music and extremely poor sound effect mixing (which are all fairly basic as-is.) The maps are dull and empty with not much to see or do except walk up, zombify, and repeat.
Maybe a few hours in the game suddenly becomes great; I've seen bits that look very promising later on. I just have no interest in playing another minute of this game the way it is. Extremely disappointed.

The story is simple and it's just a mean of moving through the levels, the levels themselves are interesting although sometimes they're just corridors and big areas (maybe it's just a Halo engine habit?) and the game is very unique given that you don't usually play as a zombie anti hero in any story, and it really does work but sometimes the zombie AI and the attacking mechanics really hold it back. The special abilities are cool and there's some really memorable moments so overall it's still a very interesting experience
