Quite surprised no one is bothered about this played through the demo a number of times now and while the area it gives you is quite small there is plenty of opportunity for some high score chasing.
The idea of the game is to rescue people by taking them from points on the map to safe zones. Survivors are dotted around the map either in buildings, or on roads or in parks, and Quite a lot of the people are hard to spot so you can press a button to display a thermal image overlay, this also shows you routes as well but zombies or monsters don't show up on this so its normally a case of checking it sparingly to avoid untimely deaths.
The demo asks you to bring back 500 survivors and you can do this quite easily but for me the game seemes to be about getting bigs scores. To score big you have to bring a lot of suvivors back to the safe zone at once, but when you have a lot of survivors with you it makes you a bigger target for the zombies and monsters roaming about, you can also use the line of people following you to circle buildings to bring people out faster.
If zombies catch site of you they will give chase and your people will scream and become panicked, the zombies can move fast to so theres a real risk reward type challenge to keeping your people out.
And thats it really the maps look fantastic and it has a real Pikmin feeling about it but still feels likes its doing something different, it doesn't take it self to seriously too which adds a quirkiness to proceedings
My wife and my sis and i have been taking it in turns to try and beat each others score this afternoon and its quite a fun game to watch, especially when someone survives an encounter by the skin of there teeth only to go headlong into another zombie, so for me if it comes in at a reasonable price it will be a definite purchase.
