This is one of the few games in the zombie music category. In fact, it is the only game in the zombie music category. Picture Guitar Hero, except with a change in premise; you must defend yourself from hordes of zombies hungry for your brains. One must tap the beats to the music, just like Guitar Hero; however, your character fires a bullet every single time you get a note right. This does not mean you should continuously press the note buttons; each wrong note pressed brings the zombies closer. Essentially, it is a simple music game inspired by Rock Band and Guitar Hero, with a zombie theme that, unfortunately, does not really add to the gameplay.
Graphics: Errrhmm. From what I can see from the game, the graphics are lacking in areas, while are a bit extreme in other areas. For example, the character and zombie details are lacking; there are only a few zombie types to shoot with your trusty pistol. There is an overload of blood however; it seems impossible that so much blood can come from these decaying humans. The style kind of reminded me of Pro Zombie Soccer, but unfortunately it was not as crisp or smooth as that particular zombie game.
Controls: Simple enough; press the note buttons that correspond with the colours that run from the top of the screen. The zombies attacking you above the screen are sometimes disconcerting, which may distract you from the music. Also, some of the button combinations are impossible for two thumbs. Three notes at the same time, guys? Seriously?
Gameplay: Enjoyable, yet certainly not very original. While the zombies are an enjoyable distraction for a while, the gameplay remains the same as other guitar games, although other games usually supply more songs than this game comes with on purchase. There are only a few themes to change from, such as a Christmas theme. The themes look pretty similar, and do not satisfy for very long. I would like to see the developers add more songs and/or themes to the game; thankfully, there is an in-game store in case the developers decide to release new song packs.
Recap: Satisfying yet rather boring graphics, simple controls, and enjoyable yet repetitive gameplay. The zombie theme is an interesting idea, but the game did not quite follow up on the idea with any interesting gameplay additions. All in all, it is a simple music game with the zombie label tacked on to it in order to receive appeal.
