• Summary: Prepare for the Horror... A horrific plague breaks out and mobs of zombies are roaming throughout the tri-state area, killing people at random. You play Jack, a simple farmer who must rise beyond fear, and battle your way through hordes of terrifying undead who are bent on spreading the zombie plague. You encounter a mysterious man named Mr. Kaufman who has established Fiddler's Green, a fortified city, which holds the last of the living. He has offered you a special job, with an exceptional reward. An offer too good to turn down, but will you live long enough to reap the rewards? Based on the George A. Romero film, "Land of the Dead." [Groove Games] Expand

  1. Paradoxically, any brilliance and beauty lie in the raw, unpolished stylized realism and mostly clever reworking of elements found in the film.
  2. Anyone shelling out for Land of the Dead is in grave danger of buyer's remorse. [Feb 2006, p.64]
  3. Road also boasts snore-rific multiplay that adds nothing. Even if the game's selling for less than its $19.99 M.S.R.P., leave it to rot. [Mar 2006, p.51]

    This game ROCKS! Anybody who doesn't like the game must have no idea what zombies are like. Zombies are the living dead. So what if 1 zombie can't get through a door? Zombies are the dead only reanimated. They are supposed to be stupid! All in all, this is a GREAT first person shooting game. Expand

    Great looking game, flawed weapons system (4 shots to the head with a .22 should kill anything, living or dead), overall a decent game for the money, good for avid fans of the genre, just don't expect a FPS equivalent to Half-life 2 or Doom 3. Expand

    I've beaten through and even modded this series (extra zombie spawns) to give an extra challenge, but the product to me was disappointing because of sub-par hit detection, a random shotgun and other flaws. Bargain bin material, not to mention the developers stopped supporting the game after the last patch. Expand
