Touch the Dead

Eidos brings this new twist to an old dog.(woof)
This Light gun title has been ported over to the touch screen. When I first popped this game in to the old Ds. I figured that it wouldn't be much of a play. I mean all you have to do is tap (or touch) the zombies . it just seemed liked it was going to to easy. Well I was kind of right . Head shot are fairly easy to pull off. Shots to hit any part of the body are easy. How is this game going to be a challenge? From the start your a prisoner in a ( Shock alert) Prison . Crazy crap starts to happen and you cell door opens up. As you wonder around the connecting rooms you walk in to a bathroom and find . Any guesses? A gun . Just laying there , Ok no the didn't spend the budget on story . This becomes painfully clear as the game plays on . Looking at the graphic tells you that the money wasn't spent on them either. If you can figure where the money went I for one would like to know . I am sure Eidos would like to know too. Level fight is rarely tough and in the times it is , it comes for being over run by zombie. That is one of the points they got right. But even in that it only becomes a matter of remembering where John and Fred zombie and all their friends were standing and then next time around there you go. The boss fight can be a different story even though the show where to shot that seldom makes it any easier. So I begin to ask why have I gone back to play this game again from the sound of what I have said it sounds like crap. Well it maybe crap, but this crap has zombies in it and I can't get enough of shooting zombies. The ease of shooting makes it fun . watching zombies loose a jaw/leg/head can bring a shite day up . Even though the graphics / sound and control at times leave me wants more. Out of 10 I would give this game 7.
