I hope constant mediocre review scores for these types of titles will clue-in developers that zombies are oversaturated.
Looks interesting. It seems like this game wouldn't hold up to multiple playthroughs. Still, it only costs slightly more than a rental, and I'm sure there are worse ways to spend ten dollars. Might give it a try when I get some money.
Being one of the supposedly few people who also have played through the game I completely agree with every word of this review.
really, those tooltips are excessive. I can't read fast enough, and I have to find where I lost my spot leading to even less reading time. I like knowing about your failure at DA:O though.
"If you need to know more than that in order to hit the jump and read the review, you obviously did not notice that the name of the game is Zombie Driver."
I personally find the title "Zombie Driver" to be rather ambiguous. I thought it was going to be the newest installation in the Driver series, in which the protagonist just happened to be undead.

Destructoid last Reviews:
Zombie Driver -> 6
Assassin's Creed II -> 4.5
Now seriously, what the fuck?

@SuN Reviews in general aren't about just how good the game is, but rather how good it is for what you paid. A 10 dollar game is not held up to the same standards as a 60 dollar game. If this were 60 dollars it would probably get a 1, and if assasins creed 2 was 10 bucks, it'd be a 9 at least, for sure.
@SuN
I'll never understand why people MUST compare scores of games from two completely different genres, companies, and marketing budgets to try and show the inconsistency of an opinion. If you want a positive Assassin's Creed 2 review, make your own. It'll be just as valid as Destructoid's review.

Sounds about right. It's not bad because it's about zombies (I will never grow tired of killing them), but because of the camera issue. I never get motion sick and it was bothering my eyes pretty badly after about 30 minutes of playing. I've heard that the devs plan on fixing it though, so if they fixed that up then the game is fine.
Anyone who compares this (a game where you mow down zombies in a rocket car) and Assassin's Creed 2 (a plot-driven swords game set in period Italy) is officially a moron.
I plan to get it simply because it will likely offer $10 worth of play and will support some small development team.
yup it's people like you sun...
you just don't get it; you can NOT compare a cheap arcade title to a triple a 'next-gen experience.'
but if zombies are so over saturated as you all say and any gamers with half a brain could perceive, why then did left 4 dead make the top 50 list?
it must because at the time they weren't... yea right...

hmmmm, maybe, just maybe old jim boy had something to do with it.

I really want this game. Sure it's dumb fun, but it's still fun no matter how you cut it. If you a fan of this game by the way, you should check out a little title called Zombies vs Ambulance. Pretty much the same game just only with ambulances.
I have some plans for a game in this genre. It involves you controlling 100 convenience store robbers (one at a time) and trying to survive as long as possible in a police siege on the store. It's a bit like Smash T.V. on a single field that gets difficult with each passing minute.
You know, this review seemed to have a strange Action Button (dotnet) feel to it. Just without the length. What with the metaphors and hindsight perspective on the game experience.
I like that.
The game on the other hand, I probably won't be buying it ever, even at 10 dollars. Doesn't really sound like my thing. Maybe that because porn, too, isn't really my jam either.

@ Boatz "Anyone who compares this (a game where you mow down zombies in a rocket car) and Assassin's Creed 2 (a plot-driven swords game set in period Italy) is officially a moron."
We are not comparing the two games.. we are comparing the numbers on the reviews. the fact that this got a higher number score than AC2 is complete bullshit. And that is the problem right there.. it doesn't matter what the two games are about.. in the end they all have a number slapped on them. It's not like we have a zombie driving game number scale and an Italian assassins game number scale. We have a straight up number rating and that is perfectly fine to compare the two on.

Apart from the fact that two seperate people reviewed two completely differnt games, and that each game is judged by different merits, then yes your right. You can compare two scores. If your a f**khead. A f**khead who really needs everybody on the whole fucking world to realize just how brilliant a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME IS.
ORANGES ARE BETAR THAN APPLZ COZ UR A MORON COXUXER.

When I was a kid in the 70s, there was an arcade game where you drove around a cemetery, running people over, leaving a little gravestone behind. It was top down and in B&W, and I have no idea what it was called (thought it was "Grave Driver" but google doesn't turn up anything, so maybe not).
Meh, it's already been done with 'THE zombie vs Ambulance' for the PS2 (which came out as 'Zombie Virus' in the UK.
This was a good review. I'd like to see Mr Burch write more high profile reviews of bigger games, who is with me?
(and if it just so happens that makes Mr Sterling write less reviews, oh well, not that I disagree with his review scores or anything, just that he is all over this site and I'm quite full up on Sterling)

@Woverine
The reason you can't compare the scores is this - the two games are judged on entirely different merits by two entirely different people. This scored a six for being fun as a mindless zombie killer game, in the opinion of Antony Burch. AC2 scored a 4.5 for being a not so fun swordy stealthy game, in the opinion of Jim Sterling.
The words you should be latching onto is "in the opinion on". I have have said time and time and time and TIME again, these reviews are just opinions and if YOU personally like the game then you should be able to shrug it off. You're allowed to disagree, certainly, but calling it bullshit is not what you do when opinions differ from yours.
That said, I REALLY need to play AC2.

Eh, looked possibly interesting, but I figured that it'd be neat for a little bit then get repetitive. Thanks for the heads up, Rev.

I enjoyed it. I think a problem for me was that eventually cars became so powerful with their standard stats, that they made older cars obsolete, undermining some of the strategy that more distinctly different cars would entail. I mean, what's the point of being able to use an über-fast sportscar when an unlockable tank almost has it beat, and still features more armor and spikey bits than the best of them? I think the game economy is a bit unbalanced too. It would be nice if an element of choice was involved, instead of just earning cash and buying upgrades as soon as they become available. It was still fun though.
Hopefully the developers will expand the game a bit. There is definitely room for improvement and maybe some extra game modes. Normally I don't expect much in terms of post-release updating, but indie developers feel a bit more inclined to continue improving their games after releasing them. Also, the devs also do the DIPRIP HL2 mod, so...

I was talking about the review scores, not about the games. I think that people who is making reviews must give a general perspective of the game, saying good things and bad things, not giving a personal rating. And in the case of AC2 review, very dissapointing. I've completed the 100% of the game and I can say that is completelly better than the first one. Maybe is not the overhyped game that most people expected, but is a good game, worth the money. Nex time someone make a bad review, please, beat the game fisrt.
