I really hate this game. Let's get that out of the way. I very much wanted to like it, but in the end it simply could not redeem itself. This game is frustrating and cheap. You will die a lot... not because of anything you did wrong, but due to terrible level design in some areas and poor gameplay choices by the designers. I finished this steaming pile of doodoo out of pure determination. This game is simply not fun. There is no stealth. Weapons become unavailable in certain areas making the game even more frustrating. You run out of stamina way too fast with the axe and can be overrun by three to four zombies. There really are no alternate paths to speak of, so not much replayability. I had a known audio glitch where there was no sound in several cut scenes. This may actually be a plus since the voice acting was too over the top for my liking. There are some good points, but overall it is a buggy, ill conceived mess. I can't say if you will like this game, but I can't wait to uninstall it.

LocoCycle is a good change of pace from what I normally play; FPS and RPGs. I bought the game about 4 hours ago, and have been playing it since. It is more fun than I expected and runs great on my system with no slowdown or graphics glitches that I could see.

An Xbox 360 controller is storngly recommended. With a wired 360 controller, I had no issues, until a couple of sections where you have to target objects using a reticle. I'm not sure if my gamepad was just not calibrated or this was intentional, but these sections were quite frustrating because the riticle kept moving to the bottom, making aiming very difficult. I hope this was just bad calibration on my part and not bad design. The game also did not save any of my progress, so I lost all my upgrades. Not that I mind replaying up to where I was all that much, but I hope this will be fixed soon.

If you can get past the ridiculous premise and down right silliness of this game, it can be quite a bit of fun. While the game mechanics are very repetative, they actually threw in a variety of enemies to try to keep it fresh. This game has it's flaws to be sure, but it's my new guilty pleasure.

Update: The game is still not saving my progress, and I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause. Maybe it is a permissions problem, but nothing I have tried has worked. I have disabled my anitivirus before launching the game with no effect. I've set the game and Steam to run with Administrator privileges, and I've tried both 32 and 64 bit options, but nothing works. My rig is a follows with nothing overclocked.

I run pretty much anything maxed out at 1080P without issue. Right now this is the only game giving me problems. The game does seem very stable, but not being able to save my game sucks. I really hope someone comes up with a fix. Until then I will have to change my initial recommended buy to not recommended.
