Zombie Blaster
SCORE: 50
Zombie
Blaster is an on rails shooter on the Nintendo DSi. As the name implies
players shoot zombies with guns. Players also get to shoot other evil
creatures like skeletons, ghouls, vampires, bats, and more. There are
twelve levels of violent mayhem in Zombie Blaster.
Graphically Zombie Blaster is very dated. From the details to the
monsters Zombie Blaster is showing its age on the Nintendo DSi. It can
be hard at first to tell if you are even shooting these ugly things. At
least until they fall down and when the game asks you to reload. If the
graphics were better there would be enticement to lust issues as well.
On rails shooters feel like the graphics - dated. It can be difficult to
want to let a video game hold you hand walking through the levels.
Zombie Blaster likes to take its time, and the longest path possible.
Can't we just walk over to the church? Nope we climb up and down some
stairs, go around here and there before finally arriving at the final
destination.
Families may find it shocking that the ESRB granted an 'E' for Everyone
rating for Zombie Blaster. Maybe their rating bestower plays too many
violent games, and sees Zombie Blaster as nothing. Which is a shame
because the violence in Zombie Blaster is at a high enough level to
reach an E10+ (for Everyone 10 years old and older) to a T (for Teen)
rating.
Having multiple guns, and the ability to easily swap between them is a
nice touch. The zombies, vampires, skeletons and other horror creatures
are going to be the biggest problem for most families. The storyline is
tongue in cheek and does not take itself too seriously. Characters
actually insult the writers. What is shocking is there is bad language
in this downloadable game. Nasty words too.
Family Friendly Gaming has stood up against horror for many years now.
The concept of scaring people is not one that uplifts, edifies, or
encourages. Zombie Blaster fits under the horror umbrella. Which is the
opposite of what Family Friendly Gaming supports and stands for.
