This game takes place in the futuristic year of 1999,
when a strange meteor has crashed into the earth containing
a flying giant zombie head that is transforming the masses
into mindless drooling brain dead savages, okay well that
part strikes a reality chord. The giant zombie head also
gives life to the statue of liberty which is then turned
into the ultimate champion of the Undead Zombie forces....
Guess they probably should have cleaned off all that slime
from Ghost Busters 2, can't depend on new yorkers to stay
positive forever.
So anyway's you play as the giant zombie alien head who
pukes some destructive gunk on people and shoots what
looks like bullets out of his nostrils. You will have
to weave in between the unrelenting arsenal the armies
are unleashing to you. it consists of mainly helicopters,tanks
on the ground and snipers on rooftops. The intro describes
some kind of magnetic weapon that I think America invents
to pwn you with which it can and often will.
What you have to watch out for the most is their death
from above blue electric beams, dodging them along with
the chaos of bullets and helicopters is often no easy
feat. It's a hard game but luckily you get your straight
shot and zombie puke of death to smite those forces of
good!
One thing I really hate and many games are guilty of this,
is either an annoying noise or music change when you are
near death.This one goes hardcore with a full music change
that will drive you head first no pun intended, into kamikaze
magnetic death beam action just to end it.
Game play: I give it three giant alien zombie heads out
of 5, the controls are pretty smooth, and with proper
level planning you can figure out a strategy to get past
the chaos in front of you.
The Graphics, Well it's an 8 bit Nintendo game so don't
expect much but even for that era graphically it's pretty
ugly but at least you can tell what everything is on screen,which
was a goal a lot of lower obscure third party developers
seldom could reach.
Overall playing as a bad guy who is a giant flying zombie
head is actually a pretty cool idea, but other than that
it's a typical side scrolling shooter. I also found myself
strangely compelled to keep playing it. Which is more
than I can say for silver surfer. I give it 4 giant zombie
heads out of 10.
