This game is FUN. Pick up a 2 x 4, or a pipe, or virtually ANYTHING in the mall and go to work! I particularly love goring zombies with the 2 foot lipstick prop.

Where this game is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY flawed is in its SAVE function. Because you can only save the game in few and far between places on the map, the timer is always working against you. Plus, it will only save in one slot - you can't have multiple saves in various times in the game.

The actual missions are a downfall. Via your character's PDA, you get a note to say that two people are over in the food court. If you can get there in time, you're supposed to lead these people to safety to the mall control room. Not only do you not have enough time to do this, the moron people won't follow close behind. They'll lag around and let zombies take large chunks of flesh out of them. It's nearly impossible to keep yourself alive while escorting these people to safety.

After playing 3 days, I ended up saving the game after the "Go Get Medicine" timer had already expired. YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE GAME WOULD END WHEN A CRITICAL TIMER EXPIRED. No, I saved the game since each mission takes 3-4 tries before trekking across the zombie-infested mall back to the control room. As soon as I delivered the medicine the game automatically ended since I had ran out of time hours earlier. 3 DAYS WORTH OF PLAYTIME WASTED. Now I have to start all over.

When you first start out, you'll find yourself playing for 2 hours, getting killed, then realizing that the last 2 hours are for naught since you couldn't get to a save area.

I don't think I'll get back to this game anytime soon since I'll have to repeat 1/2 of the total game play just to get back to where I was at.
