personally love 2 player co-ops and this is one of the finest examples possible of why these games are so good. If you have no
friends (or remotely gaming
friends at least) this game is probably not for you. One player is exactly the same as 2 player and, yet playing on your own,
this is one of the most
repetitive and boring games around. The game strives on the laughs and arguments you will have within a 2 player game. The
basic premise is simple. Save the survivors before the monsters get to them.
That's it. As always though it's the bit between the lines that shows this
games flair. The setting is 10/10 perfect for a game like this, B-movies-ville.
The monsters who come at you are Mr Hammers own faves. Werewolves,
mad scientists, zombies, killer 6 storey babies, you know the ones!
This game is far from scary though and plays itself for laughs, the levels
are often digs at cheesy horror movies such as Tremors and Dawn of the
Dead and the effect is great. The weapons are many and varied and will no
doubt start many of the arguments this game causes while the players race for
the bazooka and monster potion.
