Let me get one thing straight: People from England don't all sound like Michael Caine! Don't trust Worgans, Fable or this game! For the uninitiated, this game a first person multiplayer shooter: it's essentially Left for Dead in London. It's fast, fun and highly addictive.
As a nameless protagonist, your task is to survive the onslaught of zombies released by the military thanks to overambitious experiments involving genetic mutations and cloning, and of course it all went tits-up and now you gotta spray and pray with your bullets. There are some familiar settings, and they're pretty accurate, give or take the number of rampant violent raging aggressors...
One of the great perks of this game is the ability to customise your character. You get to choose a soldier with different abilities, and from that you get a class to level up, leading to better perks. I personally chose a Support Specialist because of my affinity to boomsticks and flooring many enemies with one round (thank you very much, Resident Evil). Every class adds something slightly different to the team and a well-rounded team will go a lot farther than a bunch of snipers camping around the map.
If I were to describe this game in a phrase, it would be "dumb fun". I enjoy it with friends and it's exciting and tense to play through when you're surrounded by running zombies, fattie bloaty ones, the dreaded Fleshpounds and ones with chainsaws grafted to their arms Bruce Campbell style. It's worth a trial at least and I can go back to it now and again.
