    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.

    This gets a 10 from me because i loved the movie so i am giving it 2 extra just for that and i have only played the demo plus watched all trailers i could find.Forget resident evil as this just blows that out of the water.Plus you play in a first person persrective which is the only way to go for the pc release.Lots of blood and zombiies and some cool weapons like the moltov cocktail and the sniper rifle.I am not sure but i believe that a co-op multiplayer will be available in the finished version.If it is then it will deserve a 10!

    This is a ZOMBIE game. If you don't like zombies or zombie movies, this game is not for you. If you are a fan of this genre, and especially George Romero, then you will love this game, becuase it makes you feel like you are in a zombie movie. The graphics are from 1996, and the gameplay kind of sucks (see, i.e., other commentators opinions on crappy targeting and weapons). But the one thing that makes this game great is that you really feal the terror and horror of being in a zombie apocalypse. You gotta try it. Expand

    This game was everything I ever wanted and expected in a zombie game. The graphics I found were not that shabby but were out of date a bit. I hear people whining about the targetting system. I would have liked a zoom in over the barrel aiming ability (Medal of Honor European assault Call of Duty 2) However; some poeple need to realize just because you poitn at something in a general area and fire does not mean you will hit it. This is truly a survival game. Anyone who said this game is horrible; lacks intelligence and taste. ANyone who says the aiming ability is crappy; needs to get behind a gun while having moving targets coming towards you while they are in fear of their life. 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]
