I love the show, and you may think I show a bit of bias, but I promise, if this game sucked I would be the first to tell you.
I've played it for a couple of hours now. It's a good, solid game.
The graphics are honestly about on par with Zombi U. They aren't horrible, but they aren't pushing what the Wii U can do.
The gameplay is also similar to Zombi U. A lot actually. It's basically Zombi U with more Melee weapons, so for those of you who complained about the lack of them in Zombi U, you may want to try this.
You basically are given a somewhat big map, and a main goal. You also get side missions as well. Unless I am mistaken, your compass however, will only show you the direction of your main mission. There is no map, only your compass.
Zombies are spooky and intimidating but go down fairly easily. Just like the show, you can't handle more than 2 or 3 at a time. I backed myself into a corner only fighting two zombies, and they nearly killed me. You scavenge the map for weapons and equipment. Any noise and the zombies can hear you, and if you sprint for too long, you start to sweat, and the zombies can smell it. It's very intimidating trying to sneak through an entire horde. You have things like bottles which you can throw to lure the horde away, which have proven to be very useful.
You do have a lot of guns in this game, but I don't advise using them. You don't have much ammo, and the guns attract zombies to your location. You can send people out on missions while your busy doing your main goals, and they will collect things like food, gas, weapons, and ammo. You can also take people with you, but you have a limited amount of space, so you need to pick what people you think would survive the best on these missons, and different survivors have different personalitys and can affect how well they do on the missions.
I'm about two hours into the game, and I am very impressed. It's a very fun game, and I'm having a blast. I honestly expected this to be just Call of Duty with zombies, but it's not at all. It's a very solid title, and I really recommend picking it up if you don't plan on getting any other releases this week. If you are, I recommend you only get it if you are a fan of the show, like me, or you have a bit of spare cash. It's fully worth the full price they are asking,
A soild 8/10
