With a name like Yet Another Zombie Defense, I was expecting something subversive like I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMB1ES!!!1, but no, you get exactly what the title promises. Yet Another Zombie Defense is yet another zombie defense game.
That doesn’t mean that it’s bad though. You shoot zombies, collect money, and then spend money between rounds to purchases walls, buy weapons and ammo, and buy turrets (which you can then outfit with any of the weapons you’ve purchased). It’s a winning formula and there’s some fun to be had. The graphics are decent, the music is nice, there are leaderboards to compete on, and the whole thing is wonderfully cheap at 80 MS points.
On the other hand, Yet Another Zombie Defense doesn’t excel. The enemies lack variety, the AI is really stupid (even for zombies) and will actually go out of their way to attack walls instead of you, the weapons lack oomph, and there’s no multiplayer. So it’s a decent game, but not a great one. It’s the very definition of its name.
If you want a good, relatively cheap zombie shooter game, I highly recommend Zombie Shooter 2 for the PC – it looks nice, there are a ton of weapons (many of which are awesome), there are some minor RPG elements, and a few different modes to play. Great, mostly mindless fun. Alternatively, Zombie Apocalypse on XBLA is rather entertaining, especially with a couple of friends. Both of these games are only $10 full price and you may be able to find them on sale for less. Yet Another Zombie Defense may be cheaper, but I’d recommend the higher priced alternatives – they’re worth the extra money if shooting zombies is your thing.
