  • Summary: Our story begins in a typical house on a Friday night, one seemingly like any other within the quiet, safe streets of Suburbia. Zack is at home on a "study date" with Carrie, though he is desperately trying to interest her in more than just his math skills. While Zack is preparing to proclaim his eternal devotion, his friend Andy busts in, pestering Zack to finish the design for a new rocket-powered skateboard. Before Zack can order him and others to leave, some unexpected guests suddenly arrive and these guys are hungry...FOR BRAINS! Zombies break through the front door, and Zack's house is soon swarming with the Undead. The four intrepid teenagers manage to contain their fright, and using all sorts of household weaponry they actually fend off this zombie assault. However now they must contend with a full-scale suburban invasion, and everything from Werewolves to Witches are on the rampage - Oh My! And where has everyone else gone? Together, Zack, Carrie, Andy, and Jennifer resolve to wage a Battle for Suburbia, rescue their missing neighbors, and discover the ultimate source of this monster onslaught. The secrets they'll uncover throughout this adventure will explain the shocking truth behind their little town. [SouthPeak Interactive] Expand

  1. But rough edges aside, Artificial has buttoned up the game as well as can be expected given the amount of interactive objects they've peppered throughout the game. [May 2007, p.58]
  2. It's well worth a look, but go into it knowing that it offers some problems that you thought that developers destroyed years ago. [June 2007, p.114]
  3. In single player the game feels a little monotonous and lonely so thankfully South Peak have catered for those of us that like a little cooperative play.

    The ideas behind the game are solid, but the poor implementation too often leads to tedium or frustration.

    Its fun its very quick and nimble and it shows that you can do alot of things in this game than you can do in any other game.
  2. Definitely a different type of fun action game with dozens of intelligently designed monsters, zombies, creatures and some interesting weapons and good venues :) Expand

    Honestly, its a fun little beat'em up style when played with friends. If I saw it at half the regular retail price I'd definitely buy it.

    This game was horrible.

    No thought was given to the first 15 minute game experience. Camera and level design is a great example of anti-vi
    sion for a 3rd person game. HUD elements are completely confusing. Combat is seemingly random and unsatisfying.

    And finally, dreadful, generic character design. This game was made by a team for themselves with no thought of the end player.
