Summary
Big dumb fun, that’s the tagline takeaway here. It’s not the best game and it has a lot of shortcomings but it’s simple and fun. Just booting up a game and Mowing down tons of zombies is too much fun. Yes you will finish it quickly and you will likely never go back but like I say it’s just big dumb fun and that is perfectly fine by me.
