Synopsis

Synopsis
You sit by your boarded-up window and listen for any sign of movement outside. When you're pretty sure it's clear, you open your door slightly and slowly slip outside and into the deserted street, armed to the teeth. The streets are littered — trash and the remains of your neighbors saturate the streets. As you make your way down the sidewalk, you hear a noise behind you and whip around to check it out. It's the old lady who lived upstairs, but she looks...different. She's heading your way with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes. This is no time to be squeamish — she'll be just the first of many standing in your way. Will you make it out of London? More importantly, will you stay human?

It's 2012 and London is falling. In ZombiU, the Last Blight is upon us and humanity has been ravaged by a sickness worse than death. Designed to take advantage of the Wii U and its unique controller, the game tests your will to survive. Use the Wii U controller as your Bug-Out Bag and keep it stocked with supplies, including food, weapons, ammo, first aid and more, and defend your home against the infected horde outside your door. Feel your adrenaline rush as you try to keep your eyes on the television and the controller screen at the same time. Try to stay alive, but if you do succumb, watch out for your online friends who will hunt you down to loot your supplies. Wake up as another survivor and try to escape your old character who has now become infected. Challenge your friends to Survivors vs. Zombies mode and use the Wii U controller to play as Zombie Master, or use the classic controller and play as a survivor. Try to stay alive — and more importantly try to stay human — in this fear-fueled game of survival.

Features

  • Navigate through London to stay alive amidst a sea of the undead, with the new Wii U controller as your Bug-Out Bag, the ultimate all-in-one survival kit for your tools, inventory, med kits, maps and more
  • Feel the tension mount as you try to keep your eyes on both screens — your television and the controller — in this nerve-wracking shooter
  • Scavenge for weapons, ammunition, first aid, food and other supplies and defend your home against the ravenous, infected horde
  • Use your gear wisely, as you never know where or when first aid, ammo or food will turn up
  • Keep the game going even if you die, waking up as an entirely new character who is also a survivor, but don't forget to grab your BOB from your recently zombified character before someone else does
  • Challenge your friends to Survivors vs. Zombies mode as one of you uses the Wii U controller to play as Zombie Master who springs traps and spawns enemies and the other uses the classic controller to play as a person fighting for survival
  • Watch out for your online friends — they'll be alerted of your death if you become infected, and they'll hunt you down, put you out of your misery and loot the gear in your BOB

Posted by: from milwaukee, wi on 05/24/2013The single player mode is kinda disappointing but the multiplayer def makes up for it. One player plays as the first person shooter fighting the zombies the other plays on the wii u pad controlling the the zombies.

True Survivor Horror
5
Posted by: from Indianapolis, In on 04/20/2013Zombie U is one of the first true survivor horror games to release in a long time. You feel on edge at all times not knowing what's around the corner. A great experience.

Great Concept, Average Execution

Great game but frustrating
4
Posted by: from Georgia on 04/15/2013This game is great but will frustrate you till you yell at your Wii U. The gameplay is awesome and will have you constantly checking your surroundings, just in case. The graphics are OK, and the sound is great, but the main draw is the gamepad and concept of "if you die you become a zombie and start over". Check this one out if you have a Wii U

Best Survival-Horror Game in recent memory
5
Posted by: from Little Rock, AR on 04/13/2013This game is truly a survival-horror game. It has an amazing atmosphere and does its job well. These aren't my type of games so I didn't enjoy playing it, but it was more due to the stress and constant fear of dying rather than dull gameplay. I have deep respect for how the game was developed.

Posted by: from Haddonfield, NJ on 03/04/2013Zombie U is an excellent game. The atmosphere is extremely creepy and well thought out. The controls take a little bit of practice to get used to, as the two screen experience is so new.

AWESOME

Posted by: from on 01/28/2013Having owned a Wii & been less than impressed with it's offering of "Hard Core" styled games I am pleasantly surprised to see something this intense released for the Wii U. If you're into "Hard Core" Survival style games I highly recommend ZombiU!

Best game ever
5
Posted by: from Westminster on 01/25/2013Best Zombie game ever. 2 player mode is awesome with the game pad holder being able to surround the 2nd player with zombies. It would be great to have more 2 player options. Campaign mode offers a wide variety of challenges and options.

Played this game for DAYS on end and loved it!!

Posted by: from Antioch, CA on 01/21/2013This really is a fun game with a lot of good story written in to it. It's a little hard to understand the player life thing at first... but it makes sense now. When you start, you are being assisted by a guy talking over an intercom and when you die, you lose your items and turn into a zombie who is out in the map at your last location. You start over and wake up as a new player with nothing valuable in your inventory until you go out in the map and find your previous "self" and attack it to raid your old backpack and get your items/weapons back. The game is fun but gets a little confusing in some places. It doesn't explain too well on where an item is, or where you are supposed to go next to find the next phase of the play. I ended up buying the guide book and it was very helpful. The absolute best part of this game is the sound!! When you are walking through a dark sewer tunnel and hear this low wheezy growl... it FREAKS YOU OUT!! You can't be sure where it's coming from but you know someone is about to rip your arm off and beat you with it...LOL
