   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

   Dead Nation mixes the old school gameplay of classic top down shooters Smash TV and Gauntlet with the atmosphere of Resident Evil. Graphics and sound are used well to create a sense of menace and things can get quite panicky when you're surrounded and low on health. However, it's definitely more action shooter then survival horror and offers something a bit different to other zombie games. I don't get people whining that it lacks originality or that it can be a bit repetitive. What exactly do you expect from a £10 down loadable game? An Uncharted 2 beater perhaps? The bottom line is the gameplays excellent; Once you get used to the twin stick controls mowing down the undead hordes is instinctive, challenging and rewarding plus it has some of the best multiplayer fun around. Well worth a look.… Expand

   A top-down survival shooter game for the PS3. That pretty much explains why I'm not going to give it a high rating. I thought that, in modern times, we had transcended top-down games ever since the release of GTA 3. I guess not. Even still, this game adds nothing original whatsoever to the increasingly crowded zombie shooter market. The game itself is fairly long but the level design is very unimaginative. There are 10 levels and all of them feel the same. That's because they ARE. The only difference is the number of zombies you face. The zombies themselves are mostly clones of Left 4 Dead and L4D2. There are a few weapons but, as you'd expect from this kind of game, the fun is not in the shooting. Having said that, the weapons are greatly varied and are as good as can be in a top-down game. Aside from the 3D-looking top-down view, the only difference between this and L4D is that once you reach a checkpoint or "safehouse" you can buy weapons and upgrades for you weapons, including throwable items such as mines, dynamite, grenades, molotovs and flares. There is co-op functionality and leaderboards including national rankings, and you can play each level individually and be given the recommended weapons for it instead of having nothing. So really, the game is thought through and the higher difficulties can feel insane at times, but it never feels intense or heart-pounding like in a first person shooter. Conclusively, Dead Nation is a great top-down shooter, but that's it. As a full game it doesn't have enough content to warrant a purchase. As an arcade title, it lacks addictivity and originality. It makes an effort, but is clearly restricted to the boundaries of ancient top-down perspective. The game is very repetitive, unoriginal and to be honest, quite boring.… 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
