Okay, after my tenth time going into that room trying to kill a zombie with a hammer just to be killed again and once again sent far away to some checkpoint to start all over again, I have to ask, who cares? I've been trying for three days now to get into this but it makes no sense. I chose the character with the gun, but she can only use her gun when her rage meter fills up or whatever. Why? So I'm to believe she has a gun but she's going to slug it out with a hammer or a crowbar anyway because her rage meter didn't fill up? Huh? I can't build any kind of strategy because the zombies pretty much just pop out of nowhere and you can't kill them from a distance and sometimes you're dead before you even know what hits you. If you get wounded the screen goes all red and splattered with blood drops making it completely impossible for you to see anything to recover from your injuries. Every time I die it keeps saying you have so many seconds to recover. Huh? How do I recover. There is pretty much no tutorial at all, no build up to the story at all, no handful of easy missions to get you used to the oh so complicated controls, you're just plunged into the zombie apocalypse fighting your way through with nothing but pipes and shovels as complete strangers pile one mission onto the next before you even have a chance to get use to your environment. I'm lost. I don't know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it. The entire premise of having to fight hand to hand first person no less with one zombie after another is quite honestly making me nauseous. I really, really HATE this stupid game. I hear it's pretty cool if you're playing with multiple players but as a single player game it completely sucks.
