Zombies have been terrorizing suburban neighborhoods for so long that the adults and full-time zombie slayers have grown tired of their lurching antics. With the professionals too scared of losing their precious brains to lend a helping hand, four spunky kids must use their magic vacuum cleaners to suck the undead off the face of the earth. This colorful approach to mutant removal could have been fun, but Zombie Wranglers utterly destroys the simple joy of fighting humanity's greatest enemy. The controls are painfully sluggish, the camera struggles to frame the banal action, and actually fighting zombies is cheap and unrewarding. Even teaming up with a few friends doesn't improve the situation, unless your goal is to make your company as miserable as you are. Zombie Wranglers is as brain dead as the monsters you're trying to kill.
The Good:
* Some of the power-ups are mildly entertaining
The Bad:
* Sluggish, unresponsive controls
* Combat varies between way too easy and way too cheap
* Awful camera constantly gets stuck on the environment
* Boss battles are even less fun than typical fights
* Co-op only spreads the unhappiness

Oh might as well pick up that Titanfall season pass, on the off chance that I ever play the xbox version again.
I've pretty given up on buying online games when they are more then 15.00. I just don't play online multiplayer that much. I bought the Halo 4 top edition, whatever that was, and you know how many hours I have spent in multiplayer......... maybe 2. I have battlefield 4 through E.A. access, maybe 2 hours of multiplayer. I should note that I prefer mouse and keyboard when playing battlefield.
It's the main reason I can't wait for Halo MCC. Everyone is going on about the multiplayer, which is great. I myself can't wait to sink my teeth into all of the missions in legendary mode again. Sunset Overdrive is my cup of tea. Will be buying Mass Effect as long as they don't turn it into Destiny 2.0
Yes, it's always nice to see Microsoft push official console + game bundles, because the game is always a digital code and that opens up the possibility of buying a digital key for a fair price later.
The way it should be for all games, but unfortunately not the way it is.
What could have been a fun game failed miserably in almost every category, the much loved zombie killing genre of games taking a bit of a hit with this title. The power ups were a fun touch until ButtonMasher realised thy rarely work either, so the only suggestion they have is that you save your Microsoft points for something a tad more enjoyable.
Mike B: "Despite the variety in foes, weapons and power-ups, the game feels a little uninspired. Perhaps we are finally saturated with zombies in the popular culture world. Is it time to find a new villain for video games? Maybe, but, please not Nazi's again, or Zombie Nazi's, now where is my copy of Wolfenstein and NecroVisioN?"
