This cart's monstrous fun, with 48 levels and every B-movie monster included. It's not scary, but the challenge will keep your thumbs screaming for mercy.

There's not an original gameplay feature in sight here, but it's incredibly fast, full of action and the graphics are so funny you'll probably die laughing. Just don't come back as a zombie.

SNESThe Video Game Critic
Zombie's graphics are beautifully detailed, and each of its 50+ stages boasts its own unique theme. There's a mummy-infested pyramid, a school invaded by aliens, and a mall loaded with zombies, just to name a few. Creatures include a wide range of movie monsters ranging from the Creature from the Black Lagoon, to little Chucky the doll, to a chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. The game is expertly programmed, and the controls are super responsive. Another feature worth mentioning is the catchy music that plays throughout each stage. I would love to have the soundtrack to this! A two-player simultaneous mode is included, but that requires cooperation to keep both players on the screen, which is more confusing than fun. Overall Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a winner that will especially appeal to horror movie buffs.

If you're the kind of person who loves B movies, especially monster flicks, you'll eat ZAMN up with a spoon. It's a solid shooter with a healthy dose of genuine as well as ironic appreciation for all things creepy. And with 55 levels, each with its own enjoyable twist, there's plenty of this game to love. If you balk at schlock and wish the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 would shut up so you can watch the movie, this title may still offer a great deal of appeal on its search and rescue merits alone. In either case, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a perfect example of a well executed SNES title that fully deserves the cult following it's developed.

Zombies is a good, solid blaster with an original and very funny concept behind it that makes it a little more special than other shooters. After all, a game that give you the opportunity to kill forty-feet babies with exploding soda cans can't be bad.

Zombies at my Neighbours ist ein spaßiges kleines Spiel, das auf jeden Fall zu unterhalten weiß. Aufgrund der großen Anzahl an Level ist für Dauerspaß gesorgt, auch wenn dem Spielprinzip auf die Dauer doch ein wenig die Puste ausgeht.

I'm not going to lie to you, or wait until the end of the page to get the point across to you: ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS is awesome. It is so awesome that I can't think of a better way to open up my review, because nothing else is appropriate. It is easily the best game I've ever played that wasn't an RPG. I'm telling you this early because I must admit I'm pretty biased in favor of LucasArts' crowning achievement. I have so many memories attached to running around Vincent Price labyrinths and Ed Wood backyards, memories that grasp from Halloween, spring, winter, Christmas, Easter, summer, school and even baptism, that giving a fair, technical review would be a daunting challenge.

In definitiva: Zombies Ate My Neighbors offre divertimento puro, una buona sfida discretamente prolungata, un concept semplice ma che "prende" all'istante proprio per questo, ed è quindi un esempio della Lucasfilm migliore e più creativa. Se siete dei nerd del cinema di genere aggiungete pure un punto alla valutazione finale!

Zombies är ett läckert spel med skön känsla, utmärkt tvåspelar-läge och som dessutom präglas av en stor självdistans. Grafiken är bra uta natt vara så bra att man börjar dregla och samma gäller musiken - men båda är utan tvekan tillräckligt bra för att passa i denna höjdare.

The fact that ZAMN is not a Konami product is apparent. While it's certainly not a bad game, it's not on par with Konami's own game franchises. Still, it is a refreshing diversion and should provide a few laughs as well as hours of gameplay.

Spelet är lagomt svårt. Man går frammåt hela tiden men man har hela tiden näsan bara knappt ovanför vattenytan. Detta spel kommer inte att bli en klassiker, men det är ruskigt bra underhållning.

If there was more to it, Zombies Ate My Neighbours could have been great. As it is, the different styled backgrounds and the addition of some end of level guardians does little to inject life into what is basically a pretty dead game.
