I think this game catches too much hate. Mind you, I didn't finish it. I eventually expanded the map enough that traversing the world on my slow bike and having to worry about replenishing my oil, lest I face the fury of having to park the damn thing in a bush and run for 3 hours to find a gas station... I mean it all became a little too much. So yeah, the game's got its faults, but it is good stuff! It's high-caliber, high-octane zombie fun. The freaker swarms, or whatever they were called, was a super innovative idea.
