"Like jump scares? Like zombies? Like KILLING zombies? If you like any of these things then you better get off your couch and drive to your nearest game store and pick up a copy of Zombi U"

Hello folks, today I will be reviewing Zombi U! Zombi U was developed by Ubisoft and can be purchased on the Nintendo Wii U. Zombi U is a first-person shooter that I actually enjoyed! I will be going over the pros and cons of the game in this review! Now, without any further ado, let's begin!
-Controls-
Pros:
* Supports Wii U gamepad controls and Pro Controller support.
* Like other shooters, it's a first-person shooter point-of-view.
* You use ZL to aim and ready your cricket and/or gun and use ZR to use the cricket/gun. When using "scope weapons" you can use your Wii U gamepad to look around and aim your weapon which is a very cool feature that makes you feel like your in the game.
Cons:
* When trying to push off a zombie that has attacked you is kind of hard and confusing(you shake the Wii U gamepad to push off the zombie).
Controls Score: 8/10
-Music-
Pros:
* Many creepy realistic sound effects that adds a scary vibe for the player(Zombies groaning, gunshots, e.t.c.).
Cons:
* Outside and inside settings are kind of silent except for the usual rain sound effects and footsteps. I would really like to see some kind of faded creepy music in the background
Music Score: 7/10
-Graphics-
Pros: The graphics, like any other first-person shooter, is pretty good. Of course, I believe they could improve the graphics but I suppose they are good enough for a first-person shooter.
Cons:(None)
Graphics Score: 8/10
-Gameplay-
Pros:
* There is a wide variety of weapons to use within the game. These weapons include cricket bats, guns, explosives, e.t.c.
* There is many creepy settings which take place in London, England. Settings include places such as stores, warehouses, shelters, e.t.c.
* 2 different game-modes: Chicken(for beginners) and Survival(for hardcore players).
* There is a good time span for completing the game and it will take the average player about a good 10 hours or so to complete(depends on your game mode: Chicken mode for beginners which has unlimited survivors or Survival mode which only has one survivor- after you lose that one it's game-over.)
* Very enjoyable for gamers who like jump-scares and spooky sounds at night.
Cons:
* As some of you may know, I'm not such a first-person shooter kind of guy but, for me, chicken mode is quite hard.
Gameplay Score: 9/10
Pros:

-Content-
Pros:
* There is many things to do such as exploring areas and collecting items.
* You have an option of downloading "UPlay" for free which, when you earn points via achievements, you can unlock cool stuff such as a cricket bat customization!
Cons:
* From time-to-time I sometimes feel the gameplay is a little short and would like to see more gameplay or maybe even a post-game quest kind of thing
Content Score: 8/10
-Multiplayer-
Pros:
* There is a 2-player game mode where the Wii U gamepad holder spawns zombies and the Wiimote holder has to survive for an amount of time.
Cons:
* I tried the Wiimote in Multiplayer mode and it was kind of complicated and took me a while to get used to it.
Multiplayer Score: 7/10
-Overall-
Overall, Zombi U is a pretty good shooter. It has a good amount of gameplay and includes a multiplayer game mode. I would recommend it to gamers who are into 1st person shooters such as CoD and gamers who like a good scare while playing shooters. Well, that's all for my Zombi U review.
