I can understand that some people will look at it as a third-person Left 4 Dead, and there are definitely some connections between the two, but Rebellion isn’t trying to hide that from us. So while X-ray shots are disturbingly nice to see zombie innards get destroyed by bullet penetration, it makes the action and suspense a little too stop-and-go for my liking.Ĭooperative is where this game shines, especially if you get four people together. These X-ray shots do happen a little too often, even when you set the setting in the options to low (off option is limited to multiplayer, why not both?). No body part is safe from this effect and you might have seen the incredibly painful testicles shot doing the rounds on the Internet from last year’s Sniper Elite game. A feature that is only used in the single player portion is the X-ray kills that you may remember from Sniper Elite V2, in which the game slows down and shows the inside of the victim (zombies this time) and where the bullet hits. It is a harder sell for the single player alone, as the difficulty is dropped to take into consideration that there is only one person dealing with the undead waves. Playing Nazi Zombie Army in single player is not the best way to go about it, and doing so hides away what makes Nazi Zombie Army fun – the cooperative mode and the difficulty increase that comes with it. This is a game that I feel was made for multiplayer and only needs a small titbit to build the game’s location, era and what you will be put up against, which of course is a range of nazi-zombified soldiers. I was not bothered that Nazi Zombie Army doesn’t build a fiction. There is next to no story to this game instead, you are given a barebones scene that shows Hitler in his last desperate moment as he unleashes his final stance to keep the war going, bringing back the undead as lifeless soldiers to wipe out any living thing in Berlin. Seems I had nothing to worry about, because if anyone is looking for a cooperative game to play with some friends based on World War 2 and Hitler’s fascination for the supernatural, then you can find lots of fun to be had in Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army. So when Rebellion announced they were making a standalone title to Sniper Elite V2 but based on zombies, I was a little concerned over how it might turn out. In this day and age, nearly every zombie-based video game slots into the “unoriginal” category. We’ve had these walking undead featured in first-person shooters, survival horror, tower defence, puzzlers, twin-stick shooters, and have even played as one in Stubbs the Zombie.
