Zombie Party is one of them rare games that has managed to successfuly combine two different genre’s together. While the game only has flashesZombie Party is one of them rare games that has managed to successfuly combine two different genre’s together. While the game only has flashes of an RPG style it combines very well with the top-down shooting mechanics, which in turn creates a lot of fun-filled moments. The thing that amazed me most with the game is how much content it has for such a little price. There are multiple modes for you to play and an abundance of collectables for you to obtain. There is also a huge number of characters for you to play, and each one feels different and can be customised to how you want them to look. The only thing the game lacks when it comes to variety is the enemies. Each different enemy pretty much does the same thing and I was crying out for a new enemy to break away from the usual mould. They do however combat this with an array of weapons, and I was amazed by how much creativity had gone into each weapon design. While the game has a lot of content I was still disappointed that there were no online modes included in the game, and I think the game would have benefited a lot by including online. The presentation side of the game is simple but at the same time very effective. Visually the retro 16-bit style is something that definitely tickled my fancy and in my opinion it made the game more fun. At the end of the day the amount of content that Zombie Party has makes the game an absolute steal at the price it’s at, and the best thing is that all the content in the game is fun and enjoyable. Another very good selling point is that it’s equally enjoyable when playing alone and with friends, which is rare these days. Without a shadow of a doubt this game gets a massive recommendation from me and it’s a game that I can see myself enjoying for many hours to come.

Whilst there are no game destroying features within Zombie Party, it’s fair to say that with the variety of games available on Xbox, Zombie Party doesn’t ever possess anything that will keep players coming back for more. The vast number of items and unlockables are certainly deserving of praise, but the gameplay shows nothing more than a lack of identity and fails to bring anything memorable to the table.

There has been a lot of press about inflated steam user review scores, and unfortunately, this title seems to be a class A example of how titles like these bubble to the top with aggressive marketing.But let's talk about the game.Graphics:Shoddy at best. Sprites are uneven in their resolution and quality. Half of the characters aren't even animated (really?) The aesthetic doesn't go beyond over-saturated and painful to look at (the colors are still burned in my retinas). There are severe framerate issues during a normal playthrough, which is shocking given the low fidelity of the visuals.Sound:Swing and miss, with the emphasis on miss. There is a mix between EDM and your standard indie chiptune fare. Nothing in particular stood out above anything else in the mayhem of possibly the worst sound effects I've heard in a video game. Anytime you fire a bullet, kill a zombie, or interact with anything important in the game, you always get the same generic noise of sandpaper in your ear. Between the lackluster soundtrack and horribly designed sound effects, I had to shut off the sound to prevent a migraine.Gameplay:Nobody was on multiplayer (what a surprise), so I had to dig into single player Dungeon/Adventure mode. What I got was...wow. Adventure mode is a horde-arena-mode where waves and waves of zombie keep coming at the player. It was entertaining for while, until I realized that running in a circle and spamming bullets at the horde was all it took to beat the game. Great, I already beat half of the single player content in 30 minutes.Now we get into the dungeon mode. If anything, this is the poor man's version of the superior Nuclear Throne minus the fun. There isn't much variety or diversity in the enemy types. They either walk towards you, or shoot a bullet at you that you side step when convenient. The whole experience lacks.... spontaneity. After getting through 3 or so rooms, the framerate chugged to a halt and I shut the whole thing down. Done.Overall: 1/10I felt like a zombie playing this game. It isn't mindless fun, it's a slapped together mess of bad visuals, horrible sound design, and sloppy gameplay. I give the developer a point for effort. It takes some skill to put something like this together...but there are so many games that offer so much more for $9.99.

Zombie Party is best enjoyed in short bursts with friends. The shooting is fun because of the guns and mods that can be employed, and the variety keeps the fighting fresh. Even though the game sports quite a few modes, there's no escaping the grind if you want to make some headway. If you can stomach that, this title is perfect for quick bursts of gaming or as a nice break between bigger, more involved titles.
