    Burn Zombie Burn is a superb title, which is very challenging and at the same time a whole lot of fun. Anyone looking for a fun and addictive game to play on PSN will not go wrong with this.

    Even with the plethora of weapons, zombie types, game modes, and levels to choose from, the game can get stale after awhile.

    A quite good robotronesque shoot ’em up. The score system is quite interesting. [Aug 2009]

    Overall, Burn Zombie Burn is a very solid pickup for anyone that wants a shooter with a rather unique twist on the usual overhead shooter genre.

    The risk-reward nature of the gameplay in Burn Zombie Burn is enough to make the player return for more, if not the adrenaline inducing intensity. Whilst the task may, on the face of it, look repetitive, it never feels tired or boring to play.

    With three modes and six levels each, ten challenges, a local multiplayer option, and tons of unlockables, there is plenty to do in this ten dollar package if you can get past the frustrations and don't mind a challenge.

    Oddly addictive, but then again maybe it just does a great job of bringing back classic shooter action without becoming overwhelmingly Oddly addictive, but then again maybe it just does a great job of bringing back classic shooter action without becoming overwhelmingly difficult or complicated, and not reverting to brainless blasting. I'm still trying to figure out how to further maximize scoring capability, as my scores and medals would suggest there's still much room for improvement. The points and earnings will keep you playing for more. It's a particular blast in two player mode, only because it's fun to share the action - the game itself doesn't get a major gameplay shift from multiplayer mode. It's a blast and a welcome bargain. Bang-per-buck alone was worth an extra point.… Expand

If you love killing shit non stop and don't get tried of it you'll like it. If you like top down shooters like geometry wars or robotron you'll like it. Co-op is fun too if you have someone you'd like to play with. No online support if you were wondering. Lots of content will keep you busy for a while.… Expand
