Honestly a total joy to play. On the surface it seems like a rather basic but well-themed shooter but dig a little deeper and suddenly you'll realise this game has a lot more smarts than its letting on.

Take the weapons system for instance. On first glance, a lot of the weapons seem very arbitrary and unbalanced but as you play, you'll realise in reality almost every single weapon has key uses. Waterguns for basic fodder zombies, soda-cans to throw over fences. fire extingushers to freeze troublesome enemyes and rocket launchers which not only deal out big damage but also come in handy as makeshift door openers.

The overall design is just an absolute joy as well and if you happen to be a B-Movie fan like myself, has a ton of nods, references and full blown parodies to wade through. Its glorious.

If I have one complaint (and I do), its that the difficulty curve is just all over the darn place. You'll happily skip through some levels with barely a moment of stress, only to have something like the big baby boss ruin your perfect run as he slams about everywhere.

Even that cant run just how ridiculous and fun this game is. Come on Lucasarts/Disney. Re-release this already!
