Arizona Sunshine for the Quest

First the bad news. The graphics in Arizona Sunshine are not the best all the time. Zombies are not just hard to kill, sometimes they float backwards into the air and bits of them appear through walls. However, when playing the game this is not a problem. I guarantee you’ll be too busy hunting for ammo or frantically trying to reload to spot these glitches.

I’ve played about twenty minutes of the solo campaign and it seems quite fun. A story is unfolding and up until now the zombies I’ve bumped into have been quite easy to dispose of. However, I really bought the game for co-op play and last night four of us had a very happy time fighting off waves of zombie hordes.

The way that you hold and wield weapons works very well. You can manage both a rifle and a revolver quite comfortably. The reload action is nicely realistic although you’ll find your clip always runs out at the most inconvenient times which adds a lot to the atmosphere of panic. The networked group play is rock solid, and you do get to see the entire figures of your fellow players, which adds a lot to the gameplay.

At the time of writing this post the game is available for a third off in the UK, which makes it around 19 pounds. At that price it is very good value.
