DeVuego ES_COR

A nostalgic side-scrolling beat'em up in the early 90's tradition. A so bad it's good affair that people who like some polish with their games should probably avoid. Good fun if you don't want to take your zombie slaying too seriously.

Con todo ello, podemos contar con varias horas de juego si pasamos por alto sus altibajos en la jugabilidad, y como no existen demasiadas alternativas hoy día si somos fans del género seguramente estemos entretenidos un buen rato. Nos hubiera gustado encontrar mayores virtudes en el conjunto final, pues la idea tenía potencial para más calidad, pero siempre son de agradecer estas propuestas que devuelven géneros semi-olvidados a la palestra de la actualidad.

I did have some fun while playing Rock Zombie and the game does function well, to a degree. It really isn't a shining example of modern technology, but does have the marks of an older brawler game. It gives off a whole arcade like vibe while playing, though I'm unsure how many will really love that. There were many strange aspects when it came to AI and I feel it would have been better if a cooperative part was added in as it seems like that game should have had that. There were also driving portions that appeared every so often which was a neat change in gameplay, though these were quickly annoying due to length and that it was completely repetitive. Rock Zombie was an alright game with some decent campaign length though really nothing too spectacular.

n summary, those who have played the game on other platforms will notice that the Xbox version is nothing more than a poor port of the original game, where the only changes are the control schemes which have been adapted to the Xbox controller. Besides that, the game continues to have the same issues that seem to have afflicted the previously released versions and that is something which disappoints me. With a bit work in a bunch of different aspects, this could have been a promising game, but in its current state it’s hard to recommend it as a good game.

Overall, Rock Zombie relies more on what’s popular these days and nostalgia over solid gameplay and reverence for the source material that it is based off of. Much like the zombies that are littered in the 20 levels of the game, everything is just cold and lifeless. The characters, plot, and gameplay are largely uninspired and generic. All this along with the technical issues and lack of any co-op gameplay makes Rock Zombie a difficult game to recommend to even the most diehard zombie or beat ‘em up fan.
