Any of you guys play it? I decided to get it and it's sort of fun, though very clunky at times. I got it cause I felt like playing more zombie games after The Last of Us - I tried replaying that but it's too soon I think, couldn't get into it again knowing everything that happens.

The overall idea is cool though. If they added more polish to the gun play and made melee combat less annoying at times it'd be good fun. What annoys me is running out of stamina trying to run from zombies and they just keep grabbing you and you have to mash B to get away, and that just happens perpetually cause you can't run.

The UI is also pretty confusing, but there are a lot of options within it. It has a bit of a learning curve as it doesn't really tell you how to do a lot of things, except with some very lengthy and often ignored tips in the corner.

But you can go around and do pretty much whatever you want and there are lot of missions and side missions

EDIT: Oh and for those who don't know, it's a $20 Xbox Live Arcade game. The company's been saying it's coming to PC but I got tired of waiting as there is no release date - only confirmations that it will happen this year. There's a free trial on the XBLA though that gives you a good idea of what it's like

I played it until I got The Last of Us. It was confusing at first since they don't teach you how everything works first but I liked it for the few hours I played. What I didn't like is that stuff goes on without you in the virtual world. People die when you don't play and other stuff happens. That's fine if you play a lot but I play once or twice a week so people would die when I didn't play.
