[HEADING=1]MGG=REVIEWS-Zombie Panic Source[/HEADING]
Now, Most zombie survival games have moved into co-op genre. Even the infamous resident evil has now ruined it's series by implementing co-op, But that'll be for a later review. If compared to games like Left 4 dead and killing floor. Zombie Panic source is more of a mess around with some friends or random people. It has no story and only features multi-player game modes.. Simple enough for a mod, And that is what this game is.. A simple idea, Made into a rather simple mod.
The game features twp specific game modes.;
Survival - This is were one team of survivors must out-last the other team of infected,
Objective - In which the survivor teams had to complete a set amount of task's in a given map while surviving the unlimited hordes of the infected
There enemy team is always played by "Humans" no AI is used her. Which does make things allot more interesting, But to be honest. Most matches arrant influenced by teamwork. Unlike games like Left 4 dead in which you would have to rely on you team-mates to survive, Zombie Panic source is more of a "Free for all" in a way. No-one will really work together, And games usually turn into one big bloody mess
Wow! They really don't know what to do :/
By all means, This is not a game that you take seriously. It emphasizes team work. But really.. that ain't what you want to go off and do. It implements game rules to pretty much make people share, But at the start of every game.. everyone runs offs finding weapons and don't really stick together. It's really only the last few survivors who stick together generally work together and that's only if there close to each other. As there is no way you can find you team-mates without them telling you, and if you don't know were the location they said is.. Your not going to find them. In objectives games it's a bit easier as you get told were to go next and you can always assume that were everyone else, Including the undead, are going to go
The items are very bleugh as well.. Now you can almost guarantee (unless it's a map that's been created by the admin) that as soon as the game starts. There is not enough weapon and ammo to go around. Leaving the unlucky few with a pistol with 1 clip, and a melee weapons. Now, Melee weapons are useless against the infected and pistols use up allot of ammo trying to kill them, So these people should just go and switch teams all ready. Eliminates the emphasis of team-work.
I have said allot of negative points about this game so here's a few good points.
The feel of the game is really well done. It can be quite good and sometimes scary when your barricaded yourself inside a room, You hear the distant moans of the undead coming down the hallway and then suddenly you hear scratches on the door and the undead begin to breakthrough.
The zombie character models are also very well done as well, You can see each disgusting scar on there body.
This is what a normal game will look like
There is very little good things about this mod I can say.. and even after all the bad things i have said about it, I still go on this mod from time to time to enjoy it, I don't think I've fully explained everything in this mod, But more highlights what I found to be the most important aspects of the game
Note from Mgg - I have spent some time studying other reviews and to understand forum editing code (if thats how you say it) better. I hope this review is alot better than past.. Please rate thank you
