Hero-of-Time Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I played an hour of this yesterday and then a couple of hours this morning and im not impressed. Chuck moves soooo slow, even when his speed has upgraded a little. Its pretty annoying seeing as your in the middle of zombie apocalypse, surely you would want to peg it at all times? Another thing I find annoying is how you have to keep pressing the talk button when you first find someone in need of help. You are trying to fend off zombies while at the same time have a conversation to person you're trying to help. Lastly the loading times between areas are shocking, even when you have the game installed. They come thick and fast at the start of the game as there are alot of cutscenes, but even when they have passed the loading times and the sheer amount of them is still a joke. It's weird because these thing were in the first game and I loved it, guess my tastes have changed since then. I will still plod on and see if it gets any better but so far im disappointed.

Dog-amoto Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm enjoying it so far - it's got all the same flaws from the first game, but the save system and survivor AI are much better so overall it's much more playable. Not sure that the combo weapons add much though, as I find most of them a ballache to find the parts and make, especially seeing as I'm trying to save as many survivors as possible, I simply don't have the time. Apart from the spiked baseball bat which is more readily available, I hardly ever use the combo cards. But this game needs several playthroughs (just like the first one did) to fully enjoy. And I'll certainly be doing that as this is just as much fun as the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Anyone taken a whack at the co-op? Because I know I will be playing it co-op from beginning to end and want to know if there are any problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenchris Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 The time limit is what puts me off buying this... running arround against a clock is just stressfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yeah but the time limit is what encourages more playthroughs. If you miss a story or psycho, then you'll make sure to check it out next time. I must have gone through the first one at least seven times to make sure I saw everything and got most of the achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 yeah but how long does it take to play? if its a long game then several playthroughs isn't practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Think it takes about 8-10 hours per playthrough. It does have a lot of replay value, but if you didn't like the first one, then you won't like this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog-amoto Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 You should give it a try. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you can see past it's flaws, there's a pretty solid game there. Not sure if they're bringing the first one out for the PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mundi Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Started playing yesterday with a friend, co-op works great so far, not had any problems. It has been pretty much what I expected, the original just better and improved. Most intense moment so far was running with 5 survivor and going to what I thought was another survivor but finding out that he was indeed a glass wielding psychopath.

Looking at the gametrailers review it looks near identical. Shame they got rid of the photo stuff too, quite enjoyed that. Don't suppose co-op if split screen? I'd buy it straight away if so. Never gonna happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Just finished the main story. The last boss fight with Sullivan is ridiculous. Just really cheap tactics. It's like the developers wanted to make it as hard as possible but without you having to use any real skill to win. Now am gonna try the overtime mode. Ridiculous (kind of) ending to a great game!

flameboy Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 well I'm thinking of getting this now! It looks so good and the 6 hour playthrough many times appeals to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Anyone collected the complete knight armor and beard? Bit of a bitch to get (because of the Poker game) but totally worth it for the Ghosts 'n Goblins reference and more survivability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 So is this game good? c'mon people tell me I'm weighing up buying it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It is good, but there are basic design flaws which will have you hurling your controller. Like if you miss a story mission and have to restart and some of the boss fights are really cheap. I'd recommend buying Case Zero for 400 points if you have an Xbox, (don't think you do though) but it's not a very good reflection of the main game in my opinion. Don't know why but I enjoyed the full game a lot more. Maybe I didn't like the Still Creek setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the idea of perhaps missing things and playing through again as doesn't the leveling up kinda encourage it plus isn't it short enough to do a few playthroughs.= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yeah, you can do a playthrough in about 8 hours, but it depends on what you are trying to do. If you are a trophy/achievement whore, you can spend your second playthrough on rescuing 50 survivors, maybe getting all the combo cards, gifts for your daughter etc, then spend your third playthrough killing the 72000 zombies (and it will take ages) if you really want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well I'm not a trophy whore but quick playthroughs do encourage playing through more to earn such things. Posted from my BlackBerry using BerryBlab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ok so basically I loved this game buts its so frustrating at times! I'm basically on with Zombrex having administered two doses but I failed the cases! I've decided to still carry on playing and see what happens with me saving Katey but not myself sort of thing...then will playthrough again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
