Glad to hear you're enjoying the game, OP!
I guess we all learned a valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover (or in this case, a game by its zombie-count).
Personally, I'm just not that into this game-- for totally subjective reasons of taste.
But I don't really get why anyone would hate the fact that Chop 'Til You Drop exists. Maybe it could have been better, maybe not. Who cares? Why can't we all just band together and hate blatantly cheap shovelware titles like Chicken Shoot instead?
Not every game is going to be world-changing Triple-A quality, but most games are fun if you give them a chance.
And you know what else I hate? Romance Novels.
