"Best Xbox 360 game! So far ;-)"
Pros: Swarm effect = many zombies on screen at one time; original weapons (i.e. excavator); lots o' blood:-)
Cons: Small text; save system; & annoying transciever that you must answer.
Summary: Upon purchasing my 360, I could only think of two games worth buying: Far Cry & Oblivion (I'm not much of a gamer, but waiting out for Halo 3). No other titles grabbed my interest, until this one. IT IS FUN! I've read complaints about the save system, and small text which I agree with, but if your unimpressed because the bosses require more than 1 gun shot to kill than your looking for something else. I'm currently a Level 40, and find that the game just gets better. You learn cool new moves (i.e. pulling a zombies intestines out of their belly, grabbing them by the legs and swinging them into thier buddies, or putting them in a plain old suplex) and can start carrying more inventory. In regards to holding weapons for a limited time, well I think it was a good idea on Capcom's part; this encourages one to scope out new weapons, and remember if you find a book in one of the book stores that relates to a weapon of your choice (criminology=allowing you to hold a blade weapon 3x as long)your all set. Finally I am quite impressed with the story line. It has substance (considering it's a zombie game) and even that campy comedy associated with zombie flicks. All in all, if you think you might like this game, I bet you will once you've played it. If Capcom comes out with another, I'm sure they'll fix the smaller issues, and hopefully impress us with the town as a setting, instead of being limited to the mall (which btw is big enough; especially if your brave enough to venture in the underground parkade = Hell on Earth).

You know this game sucks. Lvl 40 I really really doubt it. Give me your gamer tag and let me check out your achievements.
Why give it such a great review when there are so many things wrong with it. All you do is encourage developers to put out more substandard crap
