So today my Wii U is arriving with 4 Games - NSMBU, Zombiu, BLOPS2, and Nintendo Land. Does anyone have any more thoughts on Zombie U before I open it? I am considering taking it to walmart and exchanging it for AC3 due to how much bad press the game is getting (The only positive reviews say that it feels like the old school RE games, which i disliked)

Search around on the forums, there are a lot of reviews from VGCers. Here's a recent one: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=150487&page=1

Consensus is that it's a great survival horror game, but if you are looking for an actiony-shooter akin to COD:Zombies, you won't like it.


I am definatly NOT looking for COD zombies, but something closer to RE4 than to REmake. Thanks I had only seen one VGC review so ill give them a look! (I am currently about 1/3 of the way done with the giant download)

Has anyone here bought Darksiders II? I'm looking for some human impressions of how good of a game it is. I haven't played the first one but I've heard it described as a darker LoZ, which I'm all about.


I have played both Darksiders 1 and 2 on PC and I think they are great games. While I cannot comment on the Wii U specific version, Darksiders 2 was fun and could defiantly be considered a darker sort of Skyward sword DMC hybrid (Closer to DMC than LoZ in my oppinon) .

It's going to play more like a modern RE1 or RE2 than RE4. Much less actiony or shooter-focused than modern RE. You have to conserve ammo heavily (I avoid using my guns pretty much as much as possible, smashing as many zombies with my cricket bat as I can), and it just focuses a LOT on the whole "survivor" aspect.

 

Total bummer about your system, though.

I picked up Darksiders II at launch and I'm really enjoying it.  It's a very Zelda-esque adventure with some pretty decent dungeon design and fun combat.  I'm in the second dungeon now and am already getting sucked into the sidequests.  I can see myself spending 50-60 hours with it before I'm done with it.  I recommend it, great game.

Be sure to visit the Wii U friend thread when you get your console back.

Sorry that happened to you though.
