For a shooter to have this little weight to its core mechanic it is disappointing and takes some of the thrill away.
Launching the new Marseille story campaign and choosing one of the hilariously bad French accented characters, I did notice that tapping an unaware zombie in the head with a silenced weapon did feel slightly more chunky than I recall it being, but that feeling dissipates the minute you find yourself dealing with two or more charging at you. Dealing with individual zombies is a little different. There is zero weight to anything that you do: firing a mortar into the horde should feel like it is catastrophic for the zombies charging towards you, manning a machine gun turret should feel like every bullet is sinking deep and tearing into the undead bodies, and yet there’s nothing. My biggest issue still remains though – the shooting is so utterly bland. There is something almost comforting loading it up and launching into one of the story missions. I still think of it is an enjoyable, if unremarkable, co-operative shooter. Not much has changed for me with World War Z to encourage me to reconsider my previous opinion.
The Game of the Year Edition comes with the base game and all the previously released content, and one as yet unreleased weapons pack. The sheer numbers tumbling off buildings and racing towards you is quite the sight, and does a lot to make you lose your cool.Ī year later and the team at Sabre Interactive has been busy with a slew of paid for and free content along with a Season Pass. Still, I had a great time with it, the writhing hordes being by far the most impressive swarm of zombies I’ve seen in a video game. It has clearly taken its inspiration from Left 4 Dead, but didn’t quite manage to capture the tension of the classic Valve games.
When I reviewed World War Z last year in April I felt that it was a competent shooter that perhaps lacked a little ambition.
