I admired everything, from its storytelling, how the characters were drawn, the cheeky humour that hits and misses the characters in the book, the protective nature of the two protagonists and the adventure overall. Overall its pretty dark and gritty, but I read this as a teenager-and I have never felt so excited for a setting like this. I'll paint some pictures from the book for you: two gypsy brothers on a road trip, a murder in the moors, a shifty town with a secret and a low class organized crime with unstable henchmen and investigations a la Supernatural. I admired everything, from its storytelling, how the cha The Road of the Dead is one my favourite books of all time. The Road of the Dead is one my favourite books of all time. It just proves my point that no writer can please everybody.more I thought Cole and Rueben were fully developed, along with plenty of interesting side characters. I've noticed that some Goodreads readers said there was a lack of character development. The writing is strong and he doesn't "dumb-it-down" like a lot of y/a writers seem to do. There are plenty that I like, but Brooks definitely writes with a confidence that I haven't seen from a lot of Y/A writers. A very entertaining read and finally I have found a y/a writer that I really enjoy. I thought Cole and Rueben were fu Well written and also dark and creepy. It’s not terribly scary when you know just what to expect through the whole level.Well written and also dark and creepy. Considering this is a survival horror, it really takes a lot of the chill factor out of the game. While the game has its good parts (the cornfield is terrifying), after the first level you are seeing almost identical hotels, hallways, and bland details you have to run over and over again. The game could have been improved with more zombies that look a little more different from each other. If you have a fondness for this era in gaming however, you’ll feel right at home with these simpler cg animations.Įven considering the era however, there is a definite lack of variation between the different zombies. While the graphics were normal for the time this game was produced, they’re sub-par compared to today’s super accurate graphics. If you’re in an intense combat situation, you’ll want to run away and get distance to line up a shot, because quick shots are not easy in this game.

Unfortunately, although they are typical they are also a bit hard to use. The controls for the game are fairly normal for a first person shooter. It’s very similar to Left 4 Dead, except for the game is not cooperative.

There’s quite a lot of ammunition and other supplies lying around, so you’ll have plenty to work with to help keep those zombies away. Once you escape, you’ll head to the city where your adventure continues. You’ll need to find all the guns in your farmhouse (there are quite a few) and then sneak through a very dark cornfield surrounded by zombies. The goal is to get him to safety and survive. You play a farmer named Jack who was caught in the middle of a zombie hoard.

It was one of the first zombie horrors of its time, and truly defined the genre for other games to follow in its footsteps. This game is older, but it’s a classic in terms of zombie games. Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green is a survival horror that pits you against nature and a hoard of zombies waiting for the chance to eat your brains. Feel that chill up your spine? If it’s because you like survival horror, than you’re in for a treat.
