There’s nothing wrong with that, it has its intense moments and plowing through a crowd of the undead and watching them explode in blood is always a good time. ![]() ![]() At least, I’ve spent more on worse.īottom Line: You drive around the city killing zombies with cars, bullets, explosives, and fire. And while you’ll probably only get two or three hours of mild entertainment out of the game’s story mode, it might well be worth it at that price. Zombie Driver lacks even basic options to change the resolution (or run in a windowed mode), which can be frustrating, and the camera can cause a headache if you play too long, but these complaints are somewhat countered by the reminder that it’s just $10 on Direct2Drive and Steam. These can be frustrating, since when you’re given a mission like “kill 200 zombie dogs,” there’s no way to track your progress, so all you do is drive around killing zombie dogs until you’re given the notification that you’ve completed the mission. Sometimes the game varies it up with a time limit, or by asking you to do another task, but these other side missions are always asking you to do the same thing you’re already doing – the wanton slaughter of the undead. ![]() You kill all the zombies outside of their location, pick them up, drive them back to the base where the military is sitting around playing cards or something. You are sent to rescue X number of survivors scattered throughout the city, and must save them before the zombies break in and eat their brains. The game is somewhat fun, and there’s a strange sort of primal satisfaction that comes from rushing into a group of zombies and turning them into giblets by a well-placed missile strike, but it never really changes from beginning to end. You learn to ration your Zombie Driving ammo well, but the game often boils down to a search through the city for more powerups – and in the meantime, squashing zombies underfoot. While the weapons that you do get are all decently varied (if not particularly inspired) – Nitro boosts, machine guns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and railguns – and fun to use, it’s curious that you can only carry one at a time, and that your ammunition is surprisingly limited. You get different cars that have different strengths – the Bus is slow but well armored and can hold an incredible amount of passengers at once, while the Sports Car is lightning fast but only seats 3 – and you can spend money you earn running over the undead on upgrading them and tricking them out with weaponry. Luckily, owners will find out soon enough thanks to the cross-buy, forward compatibility Exor has generously provided to fans.Īlso Try: a fast-paced twin-stick shooterīy: Zachary Gasiorowski, Editor in Chief myGamer.What transpires is a hybrid between Carmageddon, Spy Hunter, and Dead Rising. Also, the super smooth frame rate here on PS4 is already a wonder to behold but makes me think of what could be possible on next generation hardware. The arcadeyness of the over-the-top zombie destruction mixed with light RPG mechanics makes this taxi-sim a quality title that can easily provide hours on entertainment. It is all good fun and the only thing really lacking is online co-op multiplayer. Race mode also features a few different variants and the Slaughter feature is Zombie Driver’s horde mode that stacks the player against an endless wave of the undead. There are several vehicles to unlock, each can be upgraded to increase the carnage, and the different weapons make zombie killing rather enjoyable: flame throwers, missile launchers, machine guns – all feel great. The story mode features numerous levels, many objective types including racing, defending, and transporting, and there are some mega boss battles too. To reiterate our Switch article, there is a ton of content available.
