So... I actually have no idea what benefit I get from using Labs, I understand that it increases something to do with research... but what are the Metal reports etc going towards?
An interesting little game, I don't know if I can say I enjoyed it, all I can say is that it held my attention until the end, which is never a bad thing.
A fun game, there could have been a few things that would have made it better though.
1. the mobsters were an after thought for me as I played through the game, it made much more sense to just pay for everything and leave them on defence.
2. I would have liked a way to quickly see they stock I had left in each area, and possibly redistribute said stock, at one stage while lvling an area I had 5000 cases in one city and only 200ish in the city next to it.
3. once the respect was full I had no need to visit it again, it would have been nice to have events that caused me to make a choice, and if I chose wrong I lost respect as a result.
these are all minor things, but they would have made the game play more fun and engrossing. but all in all a fun game, if only a little too short. 4/5
I wanted to like this game, I really did... unfortunately it just didn't live up to what I expect from a zombie game, with games like Rebuild 2, and Last Stand:UC, this game felt... unfinished, there were horrible bugs (at one stage a zombie walked straight through a wall to move towards me) and the graphics left a lot to be desired. after a short time I found myself searching for my mute button because the background music is the same 30 seconds of audio looping over and over. The controls could best be described as... clunky, which is impressive for a turn based game, I feel like this was one of those "that will do" kinda games and it didn't receive the love and attention that it should have.
a simple yet elegant game design, and while the game play was simplistic in it's nature, the subtle changes to the control scheme as the game progressed was very enjoyable and didn't over complicate the flow of the game.
perhaps the only down point was the story ended too soon, however this was made up for by a bonus mode which was also enjoyable.
I'm not a fan of how much time gets chewed up showing the customer the pizza... partly because it causes other pizzas to burn... I stopped playing after about day 4 cause it was that annoying...
