  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade] As the zombie infection spreads uncontrollably and the undead outnumber humans, a small band of heavily equipped gunslingers set out to destroy as many zombies as they can and try to save any of the remaining survivors in Zombie Apocalypse. Up to four players can try and stop the zombie apocalypse with an arsenal of deadly weapons, such as an assault rifle, flame thrower, or grenade launcher, and when ammo is low a chainsaw will be your last line of defense against becoming one of the undead. This action packed, arcade-style shooter will test your dual analog stick shooting skills and ability to survive 55 days of relentless zombie attacks. Multiplayer action: Spill zombie guts side-by-side with up to four players in online or local multiplayer. Devastating weapons: Burn, saw, and dismember the undead with ten devastating weapons. Fatal hazards: Butcher the walking dead using jet turbines, wood chippers, and other fatal hazards. Survival strategy: Survive over 50 stages of brutal carnage in seven brain-splattering locations. Bonus game modes: Re-live the apocalypse with seven challenging unlockable game modes. [Konami] Expand

  1. Quite frankly Zombie Apocalypse isn’t stellar in any of those categories but what it does allow you to do is a get a great deal of entertainment out of some mindless, arcade-style shooting. The amount of amusement that it offers is certainly worth the price of admission.
  2. Four-player co-op is crazy amounts of fun. [Dec 2009, p.83]

    Zombie Apocalypse is a great addition to both downloadable services. It is mindless fun that can feel repetitive if you let it.
  4. Zombie Apocalypse could have been amazing, however a few too many oversights leave it flailing in tedium and monotony.

    Awesome game - worth 800 points, just. Would like to see some (free) downloadable maps for it though, as I feel the content was a little light in that respect. Expand
  2. I think the guys form Left 4 Dead got their dark side, Zombie Apocalypse like Geometry Wars only with blood, humor and well , cool entertainment. For the price , is worth checking it. Expand

    The game is boring and repetitive. Its not original. I get better quality games on my iPod. That said it is the first zombie killer for the xBox Live Arcade. So that warrants an above zero score. Expand
