ZombiU (Wii U)

[kicktothehead]

So I recently purchased a Wii U and bought a couple games to go with it. One of the games was ZombiU. Had never heard of the game before. But it had zombies, so I had to have it. It also helped that the game was only 20 bucks.

So, ZombiU is a first-person survival horror game set in London. As the player, you assumes the role of a random survivor in a zombie apocalypse. As the survivor you go around collecting various items and weapons (that help you kill or protect yourself against the zombies) that are located or looted from different areas. If your character is killed by a zombie (happens by getting bitten) your character will permanently die and you will then take on the role of another random survivor. The previous character will become a zombie, whom you must kill in order to reclaim their original inventory.

I love me some survival horror games, and this games ranks among the greats.

Here's a trailer for the game:

That looks pretty awesome. My wife has a Wii but not the Wii U. Sucks, $20 looks like a good deal for this.

You're the first person I've heard to say something good about this game. Everyone else that talks about it says it's a travesty.

I've heard people say, "It's a good game, but it would be better on the 360 or PS3." Which, I don't get. People like shitting on Nintendo. Especially the Wii U. Apparently any Nintendo console is now considered a "kids" system. Yeah, maybe the Wii didn't have the graphics the 360 or PS3 had... but I still had a blast playing it. I still do. I play with my Wii more then I do my 360.

I can find nothing wrong with ZombiU. It's not as fasted paced as Left 4 Dead, and maybe that's what people were expecting. It's like a simulated zombie survival game. You actually need to be strategic in what you do. Because it takes one bite, and you're dead. I'm on my 3rd survivor because I do stupid ish that gets me killed because I'm impatient or because I get cocky lol
