ZombiU (Nintendo Wii U)

Absolutely love this game. It's loaded with atmosphere, especially if you use the headphone mode to play it where you'll hear zombies creeping up behind you etc.I've not been quite so drawn into a game since I played the original Splinter Cell, which seems like a lifetime ago now.The storyline is good and there are plenty of choices of difficulty levels so that even the novice gamer should not get frustrated and stuck. If you do you can just hop to the MiiVerse where other gamers will be more than happy to give you tips.The gamepad is extremely well used. The multiplayer game takes a bit of getting used to to work out what's going on buy stick with it and you'll get there. This is an excellent release game and one that will last you many hours and all your friends will want to have a go at when they come round.There's only 2 save slots, one for survival mode, where you only get one life to complete the game, and one for the normal mode where you re-spawn if you die. You then have to go find your last character and attack it to get your weapons and supplies back - nice!It's a shame there's not more save slots so friends can have their own games saved but it's a small criticism.There's an internet tie in to Ubisoft and as you complete certain goals in the game, you can, from the game menu, access bonus downloads from their site to enhance the game and the menus - no spoilers though!Overall an amazing release game loaded with atmosphere. It's commendable that the sound design with this game as been treated with the same respect as the stunning visuals. The acting and music are first rate and this creates a completely emersive experience.

Ambitious but rubbish comes to mind when I think of ZombiU. It's not bad, there have been far worse games made, it's just not as good as it could have been.There's a lot about this game I admire, the atmosphere, the setting, the combat, the survival aspect, and when I started playing it was pretty fun. But after a few hours I started to get annoyed with it. For starters, the game is clearly going for a 'brains over brawn' approach, everything about the controls is built in such away that combat isn't always the best solution, and you're even told very early on that retreat is always a better option. However, there are multiple sections in the game where you are force to stand an fight, and as I've said, the controls just aren't suited for that, making the parts where you have no choice but to fight nothing but a pain The biggest issue is zombies move a lot faster than you think, and you sprint a lot slower than it looks. There were many times I sprinted away from a couple zombies and turned around only to find them right up in my face, which means they can keep up with you even when you're sprinting. Another issue is, despite guns being very easy to find, ammo is so rare you almost never want to use your guns. In the course of my play through I've found two pistols, two shotguns, a rifle, a sniper rifle, a crossbow, a submachine gun, and two assault rifles, and you will almost NEVER find any ammo for most of them except the pistol. It doesn't help that you can't take ammo out of guns once it's loaded, and you can't drop your pistol either, it's permanently in your inventory. There were times I wanted the 15 bullets in my silenced pistol but I couldn't get it, and I could swap my non-silenced pistol for the one that had the bullets.The inventory system downright breaks sometimes too. When you open your backpack or something you use the gamepad to move things to your backpack, drop items, use health pick ups, equip weapons, etc. How ever there were multiple times when I tired to swap my equipped crossbow for a shotgun, only to find once my character was holding the shotgun, I couldn't put the crossbow into my backpack OR into my stash. This happens all the damn times when you're trying to swap rifles or larger weapons. I don't know if there's some kind of weight limit that prevents you from carrying too many weapons or what, because there is no indication of any kind to suggest so. It get's so frustrating trying to swap things around so the game will let me put something into the stash that at times I just got fed up and turned the game off.There's a lot in ZombiU that's good, but there's so much that just annoys me too. There's no real story or narrative flow of any kind to keep you interested either, just going to unexplored areas because you hear people on your radio, and 'The Prepper' that guides you just starts to get annoying after a while, since ever time you go to start a new mission he spends the whole time explaining that you're an idiot for not sitting in your safe house until you die of old age.If you really want a new zombie game, go ahead and get it, but get ready to yell at the tv a lot after the first few hours.

First things first: Do not buyt hsi expecting an FPS. Its first person perspective, sure. But its not a 'shooter' by any means.This is a great example of a well made survival horror game. Very scary, very tense, extremely atmospheric perfectly paced and very difficult to master. Start with an open mind, stick with it and its a hugely rewarding game that will draw you in and scare you sensless :) The combat isn't the main focus, and while it might get repetitive at times, it actually adds to the tension as you desperately try to finish of a Zombie before the next overwhelms you. you genuainely panic in combat situations, which coupled with the unforgiving shooting mechanics leaves you struggling to aim and stay calm. All feels highly realistic!GamepAd is used incredibly well. From scanning rooms for loot, accessing your inventory in real time (no pausing for a breather here!) and all manner of other cool uses.Play alone, turn the lights off and the volume up. you're in for a treat :)Pros:Scary, Tense, Difficult - the perfect Survival Horror gameGreat use of the GamePadVery well designed gameLocations are unique and realistic.Cons:Lurning curve is very steep. Will put many off.Could use some different melee weapons and animations to go with them!Only one save slot?!

Al realizar la compra me aparecio fecha de entrega estimada de casi mes y medio, algo que se me hizo mucho pero como no me urgia el producto y sabiendo que era un estimado no di importancia.El producto no me llego, despues de la fecha estimada contacte al vendedor y muy amablemente me dijo que enviaria otro inmediatamente el cual tampoco llego. Volvi a contactar al vendedor y me hizo la devolucion de mi dinero.

Per chi è fan dei videogiochi con gli zombie, survival horror, allora questo è il gioco che devono avere. Io purtroppo non sono fan del genere e non riesce a trascinarmi ad esserlo. Nato come esclusiva Ubisoft per WiiU e approdata dopo anni sulle altre console dopo l'apprezzamento mondiale degli utenti è di sicuro un titolo eccellente per il genere che riesce anche a introdurre qualche elemento di novità nell'approccio alla storia e al gameplay. L'atmosfera di terrore e di paura a muoversi è sempre presente, l'intelligenza artificiale è ben sviluppata, gli zombie sono molto credibili, ottima grafica e animazioni.

Echt sehr gut gemacht, und man hat immer Panik davor erwischt zu werden von den Zombie's, die Umsetzung mit TV-Bildschirm und Wii U Controller Bildschirm ist auch top, mann muss immer beide Geräte im Blick haben um zurecht zu kommen, hat aber dadurch den Nachteil das eins kurzzeitig nicht beachtet wird. Was den Effekt mit sich bringt das man immer alles schnell machen muss um den Überblick zu behalten und dadurch sich auch die Panik vor den Untoten steigert.Ich dachte eher es geht auch ums abknallen oder so.Aber dieses Spiel ist ein echter Survival-Act.Sollte jeder volljähriger Wii U Besitzer gespielt haben, ist ja auch sehr kostengünstig zu erstehen(UK-Version voll in Deutsch spielbar)

Excepto la caja, que está en inglés, está traducido totalmente al castellano (voces y textos). Un "Must Have" que no debe faltar en la WiiU

Es uno de esos titulos que con el tiempo se convertirá en un juego de culto. Aunque existen versiones para otras plataformas la idea original era para Wii U y solo en esta versión disfrutaras al completo de la experiencia. IMPRESCINDIBLE
