Summary
Coulda been a contender...
The Good
The story, cutscenes and levels were SUPERB! Everything you'd wanna see in a zombie movie.
Whoever wrote the back story for this game was a George Romero fan and it shows.
The Bad
Unfortunately all the good stuff I mentioned is tacked on to a terrible game.
The idea is a solid one. You have various groups of survivors that you need to lead to safety. The mechanics are where Flesh Feast falls on its' zombiefied face.
To start, your group is usually scattered all over the level. While you can control any one character, the ones you arent controlling are none too smart.
Since each group has one 'lead' character that HAS to survive to pass the level, you'll tend to let the others become Sunday brunch for the cannibal crowd.
I don't think the group idea was a bad one. Just the guys at
SegaSoft should have played
Shadow Company: Left For Dead first to figure out how to handle the idea correctly.
The Bottom Line
A missed opportunity.
