At a point when a series like Resident Evil has largely long turned its back on its
survival horror roots, ZombiU is a game that recalls such games, but also brings its own interesting and inventive ideas to the genre and, at the same time, has the distinction of being one of the most interesting launch titles that, whilst not perfect, is an absorbing and unnerving
experience that succeeds at making
use of the capabilities of the system, without ever managing to feel gimmicky and, as such, it's a strong early demonstration of the magic of Wii U.
The same kid that's jumping rope with his Wii - mote, when subjected to the appropriate traumatic
experiences, is going to see that this funny little white candy bar thing could be
used for sawing off gangrenous limbs in a
survival -
horror / first - world - war medic simulator.
Rise of Nightmares provides players with a heightened
horror experience by really putting them in a
survival position to
use their whole body to survive the onslaught of zombie attackers.
