Provided all you want is the chance to shoot decomposing Nazis in the face hundreds of times over, you can't really fault Zombie Army Trilogy for delivering on the crude grindhouse pleasures implicit in its title.

Nazi Zombie Army was a fun departure for the Sniper Elite series, repurposing V2 's assets to build a charming little zombie massacre simulator. The war-torn cityscapes looked great with viscera and pentagrams splattered on every surface, and shooting hordes of zombies with well-placed sniper rounds...

The Zombie Hitler battle

The fact that some levels basically can't be played solo

Taking inspiration from Left 4 Dead and the original zombie horde mode from Call of Duty: World at War, Rebellion first introduced us to its particular brand of third Reich undead in a standalone PC expansion to its quasi popular World War II stealthy sniping game, Sniper Elite V2 .

Fun with friends + Plenty of campaign content + Horde mode gives replayability + Later levels are very well crafted

Early levels are clunky and dated; - 90% slog, 10% spectacle - Welhelm Nein Freunde

This is a good game, but I think this is too hard. It started good and I found myself throwing my pad at the wall in frustration. Sniper elite was a lot better and more thought out.

Those of you that have played the Nazi Zombie Army games will know what's in store, but for those who have only just shambled in let's get our summary on. In this alternate WWII timeline, the Allied victory is almost at hand when Hitler decides to activate "Plan Z" – unleashing a zombie apocalypse.

Gunplay is as satisfying as ever; The right mix of co-operative play with a competitive edge; Lots of game time for the price

… although the level design is very repetitive; especially in solo play; Mechanics like kick and looting not quite polished; Despite never aiming for such; the game's lack of character is disappointing

Zombie Army Trilogy won't be winning any rewards for innovation any time soon. It will most likely not get any best game of the year awards either. It might have a few faults such as a questionable lobby system and a plethora of useless weapons, but that doesn't stop it from being really fun to...

Zombie Army Trilogy eventually falls victim to the same problems as the Sniper Elite games, but is an undeniable blast in co-op. Convince your pals to get on this and there's fun to be had here.
