    Dead Nation is a remarkable game and easily one of the best PSN titles available. The game stands shoulder to shoulder with the Left 4 Dead series as the pinnacle titles of the zombie-game genre. If you even remotely enjoy slaying zombies, do not hesitate to buy this game.

    Yes, it's yet another game with zombies. That might be a bit old, but luckily Dead Nation is less about killing undead and more about racking up a high score. It's old school arcade action, and the online ranking system that pits countries against each other only adds to the addictiveness.

    But it doesn't matter how slick a game like this looks if the action isn't on point. Housemarque has proven in the past it clearly has the chops to make great shooters, but it doesn't feel like that skill was fully brought to bear on this one.

    This game is awesome all the way through. This is without a doubt the best downloadable game I've ever played and also one of the best PSN titles to date. with 10 chapters all lasting around 20 minutes each. Plus an awesome leader board where you can see which country in the world has killed the most zombies along with how many people from your country (or a different country) has Dead Nation, and also who's the best player. + There is an Online mode that I can't wait to check out, and I have never experienced such satisfaction as when you mow down a massive horde of zombies with your SMG or decapitate them with the Blade gun, or why not blow em up. Don't listen to the average critics. Especially IGN's. This is a 10/10 no doubt about it.… Expand

    Fun, but unoriginal game. This is a L4D clone meets Diablo clone meets Alien Breed clone. There is nothing new here for players who have played any of the above games that I just mentioned. There are Boomer clones and locales are copied as well, such as an Amusement park with, surprise clowns! The game is gorgeous and well detailed, the only problem? No Zoom Feature. Forget about clicking to zoom in and out, there is no way to do that! The Camera is fixed, and a little too high. There are times you will find yourself wanting to zoom in. Basically a fun game for those who enjoy the Zombie Genre, but totally unoriginal in all aspects. The price is way too steep in the USA at the moment, at $14.99 with no demo offering as of the time of this writing. 6/10…… Expand

    Dead nation intro and animations are ok but this is not a very interesting game. Love zombie and post apocalyptic games but this is just a silly retro game. Too childish for me. I was expecting more for adults.… Expand
