Undead Nightmare

Today’s review is going to be a short one considering that, It is a add on. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, doesn’t feel like a add on though. It feels like a whole new game. You don’t have to complete Red Dead Redemption to enjoy Undead Nightmare, but it does help you understand some jokes and back story.  I am a huge zombie fan so lets get started.

Rockstar does a great job representing classic B rated zombie movies. It starts out like any zombie movie, no explanation on why there are zombies. John Marston is at home with his family, when Uncle returns looking a little under the weather. Ok he is a full blown zombie and infects John’s Wife and Son. John being the naive fucker that he is, hog ties them and heads out to find a doctor.

Once you head into Blackwater to find a doctor, you find the town over run with zombies, this is you first challenge. The challenges different then Red Dead Redemption, you can’t buy safe houses. You have to clear a town of Zombies to “sleep” there. Also there is no gang hideouts, they are replaced with graveyards. In graveyards you have to clear it out just like a gang hideout. There is many differences, there is no money for there is no need for it, also no honor. You can shoot anyone with no negative repercussions. You can choose to help survivors but giving them ammo or choose to kill them and take the ammo for yourself.

There is no camping but you can quick travel from safe houses to other towns. I actually don’t like doing this considering you could miss out on mini missions on the way to your destination. These are helpful for getting items like horse pills, medicine and other things you can’t buy because there is no stores. Ammo is also worth it’s weight in gold. Keeping ammo stocks full can be pretty tough at times and it’s advised to save as much as possible.

Normal zombie rules apply in this game, destroy the brain by any means. You dead eye meter runs down slower then in Redemption which is extremely helpful. There is also a few different kinds of zombies, they almost look like they have been ripped off right from Left 4 Dead. The four kind consist of the normal zombies, a fast crawler type, a spitter and a fat fucker that can mow you down with ease. All of them are pretty easily disposed of, but the crawler can be a pain in the ass.

These fuckers piss me off

Zombies aren’t the only mythical creatures around there are others, I am going to tell you play and find out yourself, I really enjoyed what I found. The animals are also zombies and it scares the shit out of me, the animals can fuck you up quickly. The cougars really are a pain in the ass, there really isn’t hunting but you can collect teeth and hearts from the undead animals. My first encounter with undead animals didn't end well I wasted all my ammo and got eating by wolves.

Some of my favourite characters reappear, namely my favourite one Seth, the grave robber. He actually seems pretty stoked that the dead are walking the earth. This is some of the reasons you should beat the first game then play this one. You will understand the character better. It is not a squeal because the end of Redemption doesn’t match up with the beginning of Undead Nightmare. But I don’t want to give any spoiler, but it doesn’t matter if the games match up.

There is one extra online game mode and it’s a survival mode. You fight never ending waves of zombie attacks. This is pretty fun and entertaining. This is also a great was to level up fast. Other then that, you can also change your character to a zombie for free roam and some other game modes. With those said there isn’t many other changes to online play, which I don’t mind. Maybe doing some graveyard clearing or making town safe would be pretty sweet online.

I really don’t know what else to say about this game, it is really enjoy blasting zombie skulls wide open. The story is nice and twisted, I like how the night has a weird yellow green tint to the sky. It’s pretty cool that you can ride a undead horse, it is hard to control but doesn’t run out of stamina. I don’t suggest riding these all the time but sometime they get you out of a pinch. If you are done with Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare is a kick ass add on. One of the strangest add on I have ever seen. It really feels like a whole new game.

Make sure you to download Undead Nightmare and have fun fucking up zombies left and right.

Some of the mythical creature are the four horse of the apocalypse
