Addicting and fun.
Played it all the way through, and I just couldn't stop. This kind of thing has been done before, but this one was very entertaining. Also the clown was great, I've never seen that in a zombie movie or game before.
Reviews for "The Last Stand."
Perfect
The game rules man.. but its too easy i could even do a walkthrough on how easy it is to beat.
And no the best weapon in the game is the Barret aka AWP it does 1 hit kills even if its at the legs and has the shotgun effet to go through people
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! ! !

I love zombie thematic. I like movies, Flash toons and other stuff with a lot of zombies getting killed by a bunch of survivors. And if it’s a game where you can take part in the whole action – it’s a real treasure for me. No, really. The Last Stand has just become one of my favorite zombie – themed things.
The game greets you with a beautiful main menu, the graphical effects of which are far better than a lot of complete movies on Newgrounds. Yeah, there’s a lot of blood. All the other menus you will encounter (in-game menus or the “shopping” screens appearing before each night) are also done professionally and witty. The “Call mum if I live” note brought a joyful tear to my eye.
The whole gameplay consists of walking on the territory the main hero protected with the special wall and shooting the attacking enemies. By the way, not only shooting. The survivors, who you can find are also here helping you to take out the deadly dead crowd. They are not very effective and wise, but sometimes can be quite helpful in large numbers. You have two weapons to select from during the battle: the primary one and the backup. It’s about to you to select both from quite a big arsenal. The only problem is, to accurately shoot a certain zombie, you have to walk to the area right in front of it, and, as I think, It’s not so fun. Could feel much better if the main character was standing on one spot.
Before the day ends you can edit a schedule of what to do during daytime. You have 12 hours overall. They can be spent on the wall repairs, or the searches for weapons to expand your arsenal, or the survivors who will help you survive. Afterwards you select two weapons you want to take on the “hunt” and there you go. The game lasts 20 nights, so you’ll have plently of time to fully enjoy the process.
Probably, the only minus in the game is its sound. Yes, there are zombie moans and shots, but there’s just not enough of them. The painful screams of the zombies, some rare phrases of you and your teammates, some “squishes” and “splats” could solve the problem completely. And also there is no music. Silent Drum ‘n’ Base or horrifying music, like the one from the main menu could do the job.
The Last Stand is really one of the best zombie games made in Flash. It’s not a dumb-ass click-n-shoot, this one is far more detailed and interesting. Lots of gore, thousands of zombies, bunch of powerful weapons and the chainsaw. What else do you need?
P.S.: And the main thing I have to say is THANK YOU. Thanks for all the pleasure and joyful time I had while playing this game. No, really, thanks a lot. I’m very grateful ;).
P.P.S.: I sincerely hope I’ll see lot more stuff from you. With zombies.
Awesome
Just plain great game, Ill try to explain my ratings.
Graphics: Everything looks great, from the zombies to the guns to the helicopters.
Style: Not the most original idea, but it was unique for what it is and nearly perfectly done. This is the first time ive seen the "Spend so and so hours doing something, survivors let you get more done"
Sound: Sound was good, although the M4 sounded a little fake. The blood splatters were a nice touch.
Violence: Great, althought I thought the chainsaw would produce a little more gore. I also enjoyed how you had different things, for example a headshot could produce the head snapping back, a big hole appearing in it, or the head just plain exploding.
Interactivity: This is your most flawed part. The aiming was a little strange, which was especially evident with the hunting rifle. Moving didnt really offer much, so if you make a sequel I would get rid of that, it would problably help with aiming. You also said that you could pick up weapons the zombies dropped, even thought I saw no way to get over the wall.
Humor: Great, but kinda ruined by the atmosphere. The daily notes were pretty nice, and I always laughed when a fat grandma with a knife in her head rushed at me, only to have her legs blown off and she does a frontflip XD
Overall, this is a great game, especially for a first flash, and I would love to see a sequel. Great idea, slightly flawed execution, although its a lot better than a lot of the crap out there. The main thing I would like to see improved are the aiming and the survivors AI. They pretty much sucked, even with 6 of em with you.
great game
great game but i found a glitch that pissed me off. when i was shooting them i unladed a full clip and it didnt do a thing to them and im like WTF THIS IS RIGGED! i lost at night 19 because of that damn glitch
