If you've got a Wii U, this is pretty much a must buy. It utilizes the gamepad in unique and interesting ways. Combat is a little clunky, but easy to learn. I highly recommend this game, it's very underrated.

This game makes extensive use of the Wii U gamepad controller. If you like the gamepad, that can certainly be a good thing. If you're wanting a fun zombie game but don't like having to use a tablet to control it, you'll want to pass on this title.

Polarizing title for those with patience

This game isn't for everyone; combat is slow and tedious, resources are scarce, and if a character dies you'll have to start from the beginning, but these limitations create an exhilarating experience for those who can tolerate them. The game features a plethora of subtle mechanics that add tension, like looting for items or entering pass codes on the gamepad while zombies shamble towards you on the big screen, and player generated hints sent via the internet that may be traps.
Those looking for a challenging survival horror game won't be disappointed with ZombiU.

If you have a Wii U and like "horror" games, then you need this game. And if you don't have a Wii U....get one, you're slacking!

Having 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!

Survival Horror for the Wii U

There are only a handful of survival horror games on the Wii U, and while RE Revelations is available as well, this is probably the best one on offer, with many more tense moments than its competition.
The game is hard, and sometimes for the wrong reasons, mainly due to programming or design oversights. The detracting reasons are not major, but it would be nice if they would come up with a sequel to iron out the minor wrinkles in an otherwise well thought out package.
Go ahead and buy it if you are a fan of the genre, so some support for more titles like this on the system.

I LOVE this game! I get addicted every time I play and can play for hours. It was a little hard to figure out at first and I "died" many times. I have learned more about the game and now can get farther. This game is kind of scary so I don't recommend young children watch. This game definitely gets your adrenalin pumping!

This 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

A really cool single player zombie game exclusively on wiki. Multiplayer is a little weird and repetitive, but campaign is lots of fun!

So much better than most other zombie games because it focuses on strategy and resource managment over juat killing hordes of zombies.

I've only played an hour or so, but so far it's pretty interesting. If you can pick it up for cheap, I'd recommend it, 100%. :)

Zombi U is a decent survival horror game, but a good Wii U game. I like the fact that it tries to make use of the gamepad's second screen and touch / motion controls, even though sometimes it feels awkward. If you want an amazing zombie experience, try looking somewhere else. If you want to justify your Wii U console by playing more mature games, this is a good option.
