Been playing the game for awhile now. And what I can say, it can get quite intense even on the easiest (Bitch) difficulty. Mainly, trying to get every word right as quick as possible. Getting a typo can cost you your life.
Thankfully, that’s not really an issue. When you die, you got a credit system that you can pay to come back to life. And apparently it’s infinite. So yeah, dying isn’t a big deal.
Though you’re not supposed to really see it like that. This game is supposed to teach you how to type quickly. Yet my typing speed hasn’t improved. Plus I average around 74% accuracy after every level.
The game is still pretty fun, yet I try to focus on the next word or words that are shambling towards me more than the jokes.
So what is the game? The plot is this guy called Ceaser who’s really sick in the head, is playing Mother Nature and mutating people. So, it’s kind of like Sin. That’s the main plot. The first part are these two guys who are assigned by the government to clean up the infected (with bullets).
To do so, you must type in the word either above or below a zombie to kill it. If you take too long to type, the zombie hits you and you get damage. Some zombies can lob bottles or other things at you. To destroy it, you must hit the required button. But you have to finish the word before you can do it (if you’re in the middle of it and the object gets thrown).
There’s boss battles. And they increase in difficulty as you continue into the game.

So, time for my review;
Good;
-Cool typing mechanic that goes well with the “on rails” FPS.
-Some boss battles are quite challenging to do.
-Infinite lives (a must for me).
-At the end, the game shows how well or poor you did your typing havoc on the mutated.
Bad;
-Why are there mouse/console controls available (and why don’t they work)?

Final Review: I really like this game. I knew I would when I saw it. The reason I didn’t get it sooner is I was waiting for Steam to do a sale. They actually did last month, but I didn’t have the money.. sadly.
I think this is a game Dan (or his father) should try out. I think they’ll really like it too.
