Zombies Ate My Neighbors

"I wish zombies would eat my neighbors..."

The game is Lucas Arts doing what they do best, (as long it's not one of those evil Star Wars side scrollers. *Shutter*) making great games. Fun and challenging all the way through, this game is one of the Super Nintendo's best games.

Gameplay:
The fun level of this game is just above eating the best pizza ever and just below winning the lottery. I mean you can get a bazooka and level people's walls just to take silverware from their cupboard so you can go outside and beat on a werewolf. The game is very challenging, but sometimes just down right hard. Especially if you're playing with two people and you have one life click left and no first aid kit. Then you find a first aid kit, but your moron friend thinks it's funny to steal it when he has full life. You die and then kill your buddy (in real life). Also some levels only have one or two neighbors to rescue and monsters can easily kill them. Also the controls are great but the item scrolling is tedious. I mean what good is it to throw tomatoes and killer dolls? You at least need a can grenade. But look you just passed it! Better keep scrolling. One more slight problem is that it takes a while to beat the game and the passwords don't remember your score.
Score: 8/10

Story:
There is a story but I can't remember it. I think this evil doctor (Doctor Tongue if I recall correctly) is making bad things and you have to kill them. How's that for a great story?
Score: 7/10

Graphics:
Good graphics with only a little slow down. The graphics are usually smooth. However I find doing two things at once in the game (an example is using the cross and Pandora's box) at the same time will freeze the game. Also if your exit door is near a pool don't use the bazooka to go threw it. You'll be propelled backwards into the pool and watch the door shut leaving you in the level.
Score: 8/10

Sound:
The music is okay, but gets some what repetitive after fifty levels. The sound effects are exactly top notch either. You may mute the TV after a while.
Score: 6/10

Replay Value:
This game's unique way of eliminating the undead will keep you coming back for more. Even if you beat the game, getting a higher score will be a definite challenge.
Score: 9/10

Well with all this said, go out, buy this game, get a friend, and when he steals your items try not to kill him.

Overall: 8/10
