Huge monster review... for a HUGE monster game!
Okay, I admit I'm not a zombie/buckets-o'-blood-pourin '-outta-everybody's head fan. Still, this game is arguably the greatest thing that's EVER hit Newgrounds.
PLUSES:
Graphics do the job very nicely. I was particularly impressed with the sunrise when the night was over.
Variety of zombie characters to blast: skinnies, fatties, and the cops and soldiers as well.
On that tack, the challenges and strategy of taking each zombie down was pretty good, too.
The sound fx are off the hook: gun shots, even the crickets in the night.
Good variety of weaponry for what we've got. It's pretty recreational, being able to pick and choose and seeing what they all do, and the challenges of reloading.
All under 4.4 MB! Impressive!
MINUSES:
Slowdown on weaker, older computers, but that's a fact of life.
A tad too easy once you get the UMP 45... autofire will do that.
Some cool, appreciable features are a bit TOO easy to miss... the diary (with some actual PLOT in it) in the workshop/gun rack was easily overlooked, and I didn't catch it until after a handful of plays. Click on it from day to day next time you play, folks!
Yes, yes, I realize this is zombie blasting, not The Care Bears Movie, but I think it's a bit of a shame I can't in good conscience show this to the younger set without giving them nightmares.
SEQUEL SUGGESTIONS:
More choice of weaponry. Maybe something explosive like grenades or firey like Molotov cocktails, or even improvised like pipe bombs, nail guns, or other power tools. Maybe something with a weed-killer sprayer full of gasoline to soak the zombies, and throw a firebomb, or even just a match to start the bonfire. (The hitch there... don't let the flames get too close to the barrier.)
Britain was a good locale, but maybe we could put The Last Stand 2 in Australia or America (weapon searching should be MUCH easier there ;-P).
Maybe also have more than the backwoods as your place to stand. How about holing up in a desert, or on the beach, the city, or in true Dawn of the Dead fashion... the mall!
In this one, you can dedicate X hours for barrier repair, Y hours for searching for weapons, Z hours for finding other survivors... and NONE for sleep?! I don't think I'd last 2 or 3 days like that, let alone 20. That'd be good for realism next time, with your aim faltering in game play if you don't stay on top of it.
Celebrity zombies. Using individual characters like the priest, the biker dude, escaped prisoners, the reporter and all was a nice touch. Maybe put up some other characters that we'd LOVE to blast to Kingdom Come! *COUGH cough coughBritneycough coughTeletubbiescough coughOsamacough coughDonaldTrumpcough.*
I'll probably think up more by the time I hit Submit, but those are my suggestions. As it stands, though... you did a frackin' spectacular job. Bravo, congratulations, and send more please.
