    Looks like Crimsonland but with online bits and some zomie-esque critters.

    I'm surprised there aren't more zombie based MMO games with zombie themes. Imagine teams of players trying to control areas of abandoned towns, having to find and use limited resources of weapons against a growing number of undead. And then rival player factions could turn on one another to steal each other's bases and weapon caches. Be fantastic. I'm bored with the idea that just about every MMO game needs to have bearded dwarves.

    Hmm, just gave it a go. Seems you die a lot or back-track whilst knifing a thousand zombies. Join a server where there are players and they make so much noise that within seconds you're surrounded and dead. Very hard to get anywhere in this. Seems unless you buy a few bits and pieces with real money to get you started, it's a bit of a tricky journey. I've died about 6 times so far. Annoyingly you have to keep rejoining servers everytime you go to search your inventory and what not. It interrupts the flow of play a bit.

    It's alright but lacks a bit of polish. Might be more fun playing with people you know. Still it's held my interest for the past couple of hours.

    I'd recomend doing single player for a bit, wayyyyy easier and you keep the stuff from single player and multiplayer

    It's a pretty neat little mix

    And dieing, well lets just say i've died waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy more than 6 times. I think in the first 20 minutes i died atleast 12 times

    after you do a few loot runs on single player you could either have a crud load of cash or some decent weapons to help you along your merry way.(hint go for finding axes, three hit kills most times)

    I can never find any weapons when looting. Just loads of useless strip things that doctors can use but I can't. But I made enough money to buy myself a fire axe. It works a treat. I then went off looting, this time avoiding as many enemies as possible and traveling about 20 screens before turning back on myself. I found tons of ammo to sell and plenty of rotten cabbages and what not. I joined some unofficial Mall site that displays what people are selling. This is a fantastic way to buy and sell items in the game without having to find someone else in the game world. Brilliant. With about $2000 I got myself a FiveSeven pistol to use up my .32 ammo that I can't sell, a Bowie knife so I can sing 'We could be Heroes' as I'm killing zombies, and a shotgun for kicks. Just need some armour and some more food and plasters and I'm ready to kick some zombie butt!

    It's definitely easier looting offline. Less zombies and you don't have idiots blasting away and waking up all the undead. It is a bit of a chore though trying to go deep into the streets to find better loot, then having to travel way way back to safety again to sell everything..... well unless you suicide yourself. I think with a bit more spit and polish it could be a quite fun game. As it is, it's enjoyable in a way, but a little too repetitive. That said I'll definitely keep playing it for a bit.
