theres a few things I hate

1. The Aiming - Whats with the laser sight being your aimer? And when the laser isn't pointed at something dark (say the sky) you can't see where it is! Crosshairs work just fine.

2a. The Controls are bad. To shoot you have to hold LT and then press RT. It sounds fine but when theres a zombie 2 feet away from you your instinct is to just press RT to shoot him like hipfiring in CoD4 but it doesn't work!

2b. The other control problem is your knife. You have to hold LB to get the knife out then RT to use it. Sounds fine right. Whats could be wrong about that? Well I'll tell you. When your holding LB with you knife out YOU CAN'T MOVE!! why the fuck not? So what you have to do is go right up against them, stop, hold LB, and then you can knife them. You can't get your knife out, walk up and then use it. Its Bull Shit!

3. I know its just the demo but theres not enough ammo. Quite often you pick up pistol ammo in random spots, but theres no fucking ammo for your other gun. I've had a shotgun and you get 6 shots, an MP5 and I got something like 50 shots, and theres no ammo for these bigger guns. Only pistol ammo. And not enough of it. Do they think it makes the game harder when you have to conserve ammo like its a wartime ration? No it just makes it fucking unfair!



There are some good things though. The graphics are nice, its cool when the option comes up to do a special attack like a huge punch or kick. Its a pretty good game the zombies are fun to kill. Its annoying how when a zombie gets near you you have to shake it off by rotating the LS. That gets annoying fast considering how often they get to you unless your a master.

Overall its not a bad game, but I'd only give the demo a 6/10

 

most people, including me, what even less ammo.

Agreed.  Seems like Coolestguy wants this to be Left 4 Dead, which it was never meant to be.  I actually think they give you about 25% too much ammo.

I do agree about the knife, though--I think you should be able to inch forward slowly while holding it.  Slower than the normal walk, but just enough so that you don't need to stand in front of a dude, get your knife out, miss, then get stabbed.
