Going to locations and destinations can be slightly confusing as there are no direct waypoints to keep you from being lost or knowing where to go next. Blowing through the hordes of the undead level after level and causing major destruction is enjoyable. It’s a bummer to go from a basic taxi to a sports car and still slam into a wall even when the game says one will perform better. Vehicle handling was similarly smooth: all just giant blobs with the cornering capabilities of my mom’s old Ford Windstar van (that thing was basically an ocean liner). It felt much smoother to play looking down upon the world and the city streets covered in blood and dismembered body parts. The amount of deaths I earned by just clipping a corner of a building… Top-down made the experience better. It reminded me of the horrors from an old arcade game at a local diner in my hometown.
The top-down driving made me super hesitant at times.
While the world is decently detailed, it’s not the most breathtaking setting to look at. Blazing through the streets, blowing up cars, and mowing down corpses is a blast. Traveling the map is a fun, chaotic process as most of the map is destructible except for major buildings. The missions aren’t too bad as most objectives are quite straightforward, using a timer to reward bonuses. To help save what’s left of the world, players must go out and defeat mutated zombies, save civilians, and survive waves of charging undead. Its kind of like ‘Death Race’ meets ‘The Walking Dead’. Your goal is to help eliminate zombies and creatures through automotive combat. Meaning your happy, wonderful world gets fully flipped into chaos. You start in a post-apocalyptic ‘world’ where the local area has been affected by a major nuclear explosion or possible government project. ‘Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition’ is a game that made me so confused when I heard the title, but by god, I’m down for anything. So when you put these two together you get something that I never would have expected to get my hands on. I have and always will love cars my passion for car culture and knows no bounds. I understand the love and fascination with the undead but it remains a side of pop culture that’s evaded me.
