Advantages: Great graphics and physics

Disadvantages: Poor team-work AI

Well I really like this game! I am left pretty speechless in fact.

Here goes... I watched the film I am Legend before playing the game and I can't help but notice some similarities in story line albeit drastic changes in behaviour etc... So with my word been eaten by an immense game lets talk about graphics.
The graphics in this game are second-to-none and are on par with Call of Duty 4 and Test Drive Unlimited. The physics engine is also another marvel and is the best I've ever seen (possibly stolen from COD4).
The storylines are quite short and you never really know from the beginning what is going on and what has happened previously. The game is a learn-as-you-go-along kind of deals where you come across a super zombie and your team tell you what to do, after several encounter with said zombies you get to know their noises, capabilities and more importantly how to avoid them/kill them effectively. Much to my annoyance there seems to be this big brute of a character call a tank that is built like its name and is a bugger to kill, you empty two full magazines from your assault riffle with your team piling round into him and he doesn't die for some time yet, plus he then insists on picking on you whilst your team are lost somehow.
Now lets get to the annoying little buggy bits with the game, if you get too far ahead and your team are trapped by a horde of zombies they don't follow you and keep themselves busy whilst you twiddle you thumbs waiting for them to catch up. Another annoyance is the fact that when you come across a super zombie and you are just a bit too far ahead of your team and they are on their way you always end up fighting it yourself and then being healed by a team-mate afterwards which is not very polite at all.
Overall I am not impressed with the AI of the team you work with but the enemy AI is too good.

I still love this game though, I love the looks, I love the physics and I love the fact it keeps me amused days on end.

Summary: Great game to pass the time away
