Review - Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green

Well, I finally managed to get a copy of Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddlers Green and I have to say that I was disappointed. My expectations were not high as I figured it would be lacking in some areas, but unfortunately, it was found lacking overall.

Problems include:

Sluggish feel to your characters movement.
Level design like what you might expect of a game from the mid 1990s (was actually released Oct. 2005)
Poor textures. I had all settings to max quality and they still looked very low resolution.
Zombies seem too hard to kill and also seem too strong. I saw one zombie even smash through a stone wall!
Apparently, the zombies don't bite when they attack, so there is no fear of turning. Just pop a bottle of med pills and everything is fine.

This game might have been cool some years ago, but the technology and style of the game is very dated. The only thing I did like was the rag doll physics and the ease with which zombie limbs could be severed.

This is not a complete review as game play was so unsatisfying that I stopped playing after about 3 level load points. I originally thought they stopped making the game because of licensing reasons, but now I suspect that it was simply because the game really sucks.
