IS IT WORTH IT?

Is this port worth it, should I buy this version, or is ZombiU better. Because ZombiU was amazing...

If you have an WiiU stick with ZombiU. It's much better.
Zombi is a good alternative for those who doesnt have the WiiU version.

They changed too much on this version and the only thing better is the resolution and frame rate.

Overal, the game still looks better on WiiU. The PC version is missing some lighting effects that will let you down if you played on WiiU.

The game was also made A LOT easier in several aspects.

Buggy crash mess with crashes, stay clear. Whoops! To late. I see you have already gone and jumped. :)

I played for hours with no problem , now its crashing at points, totally cheesed off now.

[Hupsutin]

I'm 13 hours in without any crashes or bugs.I'd say it's worth the risk.Combat is a bit underwhelming,but otherwise it's great!

I completed it and loved it, but didn't have the original ZombiU with which to compare it.

DONT BUY THIS GAME... IT HAS MAJOR CRASH ISSUES!!!... At the very least go read the discussion on crashes.

[Cheshyr]

I have to agree with Llsa above. Frequent crashes, and game-crippling bugs that require starting over from the beginning made for an incredibly frustrating experience.

It doesn't matter if you get by all the beginning crashes because you will eventually totally crash (and PC freeze-up) with absolutley no way to progress once you come to a cutscene with a helicopter excape from the Tower of London... not that far into the game. This game is broken completely. To the point where a lawsuit is in order.

Is it worth it ? NO .... a complete RIP-OFF.

They say they are looking into it. Yeah, thanks for keeping the suckers who bought this piece of garbage well informed about that. Next year, they'll still be saying "were looking into it".

I had no crash with the helicopter escape. Though I did miss most of that scene, due to dying as right before. A similar death in the arena spoiled the ending of that adventure.

I'm afraid these aren't PC problems, however. By all accounts, the same bugs plagued the Wii-U version 2 years ago. Ubisoft didn't bother to fix them.

I've edited my review of this game but here's my own answer to anyone thinking of buying it.

I hit the crash issues only when I got 6 hours game play in, and despite following the suggestions in help and support, I coudn't get the game to work (crash when returning to place of death was my issue).

I asked for a refund, explained why I had played for more than the 2 hours, was refused, made a second application and asked that Steam at least acknowledge the issue - I got the same bot refusal as I had played more than 2 hours. Review written - "don't buy the game"

I saw a few posts suggestting the game had been patched, tried it again, now no crashes. Review changed to "maybe worth a try".

Playing last night ended up at the kidbap/gladiatorial bit with no other way past and my reflexes aren't up to the job. Review changed back to "don't buy" as I don't like the linear micromanaged boss game approach now and it's all got rather boring...

Still not sure if it's worth it? Buy Dead Island instead - much more fun for your money.

Patched ??? When did this happen ? My game has never recieved a patch. It is still quite unplayable. Just threw my money away.
