1/1/2024 0 Comments Zombie hunter review![]() To illustrate, Aya’s or Riho(19)’s near nakedness wasn’t enough for the makers to leave alone. After playing for hours you still can’t believe the makers had the audacity to combine these elements together. No, Zombie Hunters is about style and presentation of the highest caliber that gives it the cool Tarrantino had when he was on top of his game. This game isn’t about any of those things: if it was, it wouldn’t be a B-List game. But this game never tries to elevate itself to pretentiousness that an A-List game has to feign at to justify being an A-List game. It’s true that everything is this game is shallow: game play, story, levels (it’s three levels repeated, second time backwards a la Halo), music, AI. Yes, it’s the dream you’ve had in your head but could never describe due to its sheer beauty. Even though there are no robots and ninjas (you have Metal Gear Solid for that) this game is not lacking in giving a (male) gamer what he wants. Zombie Hunters is a ultra-gory hack and slash game where you are a beautiful young woman in a bikini fighting zombies with a large katana sword. It combines sex and violence so well that you’ll be kicking yourself why YOU didn’t make this game first. But rarely before have violence and sex been combined together so well that is titillating and thought provoking. B-Lists games and movies usually have goads of violence and sex. This leads to the other connotation that a B-List game will have: it must pander to the lowest common denominator. However, the most creative game done on a budget won’t pay the bills if it doesn’t sell. When you are a small company churning out B-List games, you have to be inventive and creative: you have no choice. The resources that gigantic companies can throw at a game are huge sometimes, the result is that through the money trail something genuine and inventive comes out at the end (like Sony’s development of ICO, Shadows of the Colossus and God of War). What hasn’t been mentioned so far is that there is one big pressure: money, the lack of it. With no pressure to satisfy any expectations but their own, Tamsoft has created this gem in the rough that actually hit the top 20 in Japan for awhile. But when Zombie Hunters (The Oneechanploo) gets released, on the budget line Simple Series 2000 no less, no one is paying attention. A bunch of angry rich nerds line up over night to be the first to buy this game that is the same as their last favorite game but “better”. When a top tier game like a Mario or Metal Gear Solid or Halo gets released, expectations are high. ![]() ![]() While this doesn’t apply to those Buffalo Bills chumps where being number one is everything, this does apply to other creative fields like movies and videogames. The B-List would also like to be number one, but it has the freedom not to do so. I tell you what: the B-List will always be hipper and more creative than the A-List because the while the A-List is preoccupied with staying number one, the B-List doesn’t have that pressure. An unpopular position, as everyone naturally wants the best of anything: why waste your time with anything else? That’s the B-List: the second tier of anything that is defined by its humble position as not being the best. Every American will tell you (first by saying, “I tell you what.”): second best is not as good as the best. You could cheerfully point out that they were AFC champions four times in the 1990’s, or you could point out the painful truth that the best they could ever do is second best. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful write a review of this game
