My god..
One of my all time, favorite games as of yesterday. Ive been playing it through frequently. I love this game. Really, it has amazing graphics, lots of actions, good sound, great violence.. everything is good.
Theres a few glitches. One, when using the chainsaw and revving it, when you quickly switch over the chainsaw revving noise continues even though you are using a new gun. Two, when using the m4 or AK-47, while I reloaded my ammo, I could hold the "fire" button while shooting nothing, but still wasting my ammo. By the time the guy was done reloading, I needed to reload again because I hadnt noticed it wasnt shooting! It was slightly annoying, but I eventually got into the habit of just waiting to fire!
This game was great, but personally, theres a few things you could have done to really amaze me, and probably a lot of others.
For one, giving the game more plot. There was a vague story about the zombies. Giving a in depth story could have made the player attached to the game so much more! Which brings me to my next point.. the main character. You made a truely remarkable character here! It reminds me of the player in GTAIII. He never talks, but you admire him and relate. You grow on him as you progress. I found myself liking the main character. Since there was no true plot or background to the character, I designed it for him. If you make a sequel, (you should!) KEEP THIS IMPORTANT FEATURE! The guy is so likeable! Hes smooth with his weapons, and tough. But more plot involving the actual story would be nice. Maybe the main character lost his love, or something?
I was also slightly disapointed the game didnt go into further gameplay. Sure, keeping the base safe was fun. But the same view every day got slightly repetitive. Maybe in future games, you can travel outside the base? Or during the daylight hours actually look for the survivors? Add more replay value!
More variety would have increased game replay value as well. I LOVED the variety in the zombies! It was always fun seeing all the new kinds of different zombies all the time. But every time dawn rose, that same picture of the guy holding the gun near the window showed up. How about some different views? That could add more variety, and even a little more depth.
Being able to choose new outfits for your character would have been interesting. Maybe being able to build onto the safety wall more than it was. I dont know, but theres lots of cool possibilities that could have given this game an even more amazing replay value than it already has.
You have created something special, and instead of completely remaking it, make a sequel involving the same gameplay, but add in some new features. New weapons. Maybe melee weapons? That would be awesome! Good job, this is a great achievement.
