Braaaaaaaains!

Had enough zombies yet? No? Good! Konami has announced that two-stick shooter Zombie Apocalypse will finally be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network next week for the reasonable price of $9.99. This Friday morning has certainly been good for release dates, hasn’t it?

I’m not the biggest fan of two-stick shooters, but I played Zombie Apocalypse at E3 and thought it was pretty fun. I can most easily describe it as Left 4 Dead meets Burn Zombie Burn. I think the four-player co-op aspect will make it a fun title, but we’ll find out for sure when the game becomes available for downloading next week. If, for some reason, you have not heard anything about this game yet, there is more information in the press release below.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced a new download title entitled Zombie Apocalypse for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3, which will be available via Xbox LIVE®Arcade and PlayStation®Network in summer 2009.

Zombie Apocalypse casts up to four players as heavily-equipped gun-slingers left to fight for survival in a world where the undead have risen and are feasting on the living. As such, Zombie Apocalypse sets players the grisly task of destroying as many zombies as possible in order save the last remaining human survivors.

Using an array of up to eleven lethal weapons that includes assault rifles, flame throwers and a teddy bear filled with C4 explosives, players can play together on one console or online as they work together to stop the zombie attacks and rescue survivors. Players can also use a chainsaw to melee zombies and can also use environmental hazards to crush, burn, slice, or cause other types of destruction on the masses of zombies.

The eradication of the undead rewards the players with points, as they compete for high scores which are logged online. Zombie Apocalypse’s action-packed, arcade-style shooter will test gamers’ shooting skills and their ability to survive 55 days of battles across the game’s seven environments. Failure results in players becoming one of the undead, and on completing the mission, players can re-live the apocalypse with seven challenging unlockable game modes.

    This game looks really fun. All video I have seen of it makes the gameplay look hectic, and the graphics are tight. those flame effects rule.
