If you get tired of rescuing people, take part in the Blood Race tournament.Ĭhase other cars and take them down without mercy on special racing tracks populated with the zombie horde. Time is the enemy and your car is a weapon as you race through the streets smashing everything on your way including fences, phone booths, street lamps and hordes of zombies. John Funk wishes his car had rocket launchers.Welcome to our review of Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition, a game that lets you mow down tons of zombies by driving straight through em!įight your way through the streets of a zombie-infested city to save the survivors of a disastrous chemical accident that changed most of the city’s population into mindless brain-hungry monsters. Another $10 gets you Torchlight, which is an infinitely superior game. Then again, you could probably spend it on a whole lot better, too. Recommendations: If you like zombies, or if you like the original Grand Theft Auto or Spy Hunter, you could spend your $10 on worse. It was entertaining now and then, but nothing special – like, at all. It won’t shake up your world but at $10, you’re kind of getting what you pay for. There’s nothing wrong with that, it has its intense moments and plowing through a crowd of the undead and watching them explode in blood is always a good time.
At least, I’ve spent more on worse.īottom Line: You drive around the city killing zombies with cars, bullets, explosives, and fire. And while you’ll probably only get two or three hours of mild entertainment out of the game’s story mode, it might well be worth it at that price. Zombie Driver lacks even basic options to change the resolution (or run in a windowed mode), which can be frustrating, and the camera can cause a headache if you play too long, but these complaints are somewhat countered by the reminder that it’s just $10 on Direct2Drive and Steam. These can be frustrating, since when you’re given a mission like “kill 200 zombie dogs,” there’s no way to track your progress, so all you do is drive around killing zombie dogs until you’re given the notification that you’ve completed the mission. Sometimes the game varies it up with a time limit, or by asking you to do another task, but these other side missions are always asking you to do the same thing you’re already doing – the wanton slaughter of the undead.
You kill all the zombies outside of their location, pick them up, drive them back to the base where the military is sitting around playing cards or something. You are sent to rescue X number of survivors scattered throughout the city, and must save them before the zombies break in and eat their brains. The game is somewhat fun, and there’s a strange sort of primal satisfaction that comes from rushing into a group of zombies and turning them into giblets by a well-placed missile strike, but it never really changes from beginning to end. You learn to ration your Zombie Driving ammo well, but the game often boils down to a search through the city for more powerups – and in the meantime, squashing zombies underfoot. While the weapons that you do get are all decently varied (if not particularly inspired) – Nitro boosts, machine guns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and railguns – and fun to use, it’s curious that you can only carry one at a time, and that your ammunition is surprisingly limited. You get different cars that have different strengths – the Bus is slow but well armored and can hold an incredible amount of passengers at once, while the Sports Car is lightning fast but only seats 3 – and you can spend money you earn running over the undead on upgrading them and tricking them out with weaponry. What transpires is a hybrid between Carmageddon, Spy Hunter, and Dead Rising.
