Quotes:

[Sean Keanan and his Yellow Raincoat cult members are planning their crazy religious sacrifice act with a woman tied-up]
Sean Keanan: [holds up his sword] Behold! The end of the world is upon us! Death itself has overflowed upon this world, defiling us all!
[Frank watches behind the cult members as he witnesses a woman screaming and tied-up]
Sean Keanan: The only path to the salvation of the soul is the purging of the tainted blood!
[the Yellow Raincoat members picks up the tied-up woman and places her inside a wooden box and closes the box with a wooden lid. As Sean was about to plunge the sword through the wooden box, he was suddenly distracted as he saw Frank who was about to take a photograph of the scene]
Sean Keanan: Ah. A nonbeliever in our midst!
[the Yellow Raincoat members glances at Frank]
Sean Keanan: If we are to achieve salvation, his blood must flow!
[points with sword at Frank]
Sean Keanan: He must be purged! Spill his blood! The blood of the heretic!

This is the greatest zombie game... PERIOD!

This is definitely a great game. It leaves you with anything as a weapon, and swarms of zombies waiting to have the faces bashed in or sliced in two. The graphics definitely are amazing, and so are the blood effects, and when you kill an enemy, their blood goes all over you and if you walk through blood there are bloody footprints. The game has a ton of twists, lots of places to go, and a lot of bosses and weapon choices. The voice acting is absolutely incredible, yet the AI needs a little work. The game has a surprisingly amazing plot, an amazing soundtrack, and also has very interesting cut scenes, like the one at the end of the game... which i don't want to reveal and spoil the game.

scale of 1-10... 100!
