How much loading is there in the first hour of gameplay, its ridiculous! Everytime I go around a corner a loading screen comes up :mad:. Does this continue for the rest of the game???

Marmite game. I loved it and I played it on a SDTV, and a small one at that.

It's different to anything out there and one of very very few games that got me to stick it out til the end to get to 100%

not the biggest fan of the game, but its a bit funny going around every now and again just whacking the s**t out of zombie's. can be alright, but its still not the best in my eyes

I think the best way to approach this game is not to follow the missions or stories at all and just use it to jump in and out of to go on some zombie killing sprees, you rack up an insane amount in a car or bike. I too found the storyline frustrating due to the time contraints etc.

And the Underground Car park would be where? ... That sounds like a great way to get some PP, and eventually make the character useful ... Until now I'm only getting small amounts (with the odd bonus for annoying photographer guy, and to old couple on the roof).

If you go out to the Leisure Park from Paradise Plaza (only one I can picture in my head at the mo!) stick to the left handside of Leisure Park, up close to the North Plaza you'll come to a gap in the wall that leads you to an overground car park. Hop into the car and drive down into the underground. Don't worry, the living dead can't get you in the car so take it easy because there's propane tank zombies everywhere and once that car's fubar, so are you!

Wouldnt agree with that tbh, worth doing that for a while to build up the character and then restart with a view to completing the story.

The story is cleverly structured, you're given a large amount of freedom. It's an unusual game, there's a lot of fun to be had with it.

Total marmite game, but I love it. Played it sooo much by now I should be sick of it, but I'm still tempted to go back one of these days to try and survive 7 days

loved the game so many things to do and ways to play.

highlight for me was clobbering zombies with a giant lego block.

fookin hate the bosses though

After the foodcourt fight ya can save in the gym in al fresco plaza just to the right when it loads as far as i remember

Im really enjoying this, yea theres a few things a bit odd like the bosses are terrible and the time constaint can be annoying but the game as a whold is really enjoyable.

playing on a 28" CRT Panasonic with a RGB scart and it looks great. dont know where the SD in-game unreadable text issue came from.

If you are playing with the nasty AV composite the text is unreadable. However if you are playing with AV composite on a TV that supports RGB scart then it's your own fault.

yep, i can't state enough how important a RGB scart is especially to non-HD gamers. I got a wii RGB for 6 quid a while back and the difference was huge.

i remember capcom saying they would fix the whole StandardDef situation but really, its the gamers own fault if they can't read the text.
