The sheer amount on zombies on screen is scary

Housemarque obviously knows how to create an addictive game. Racking up combos and gathering loot didn't ever get boring during our time with Dead Nation and there were some great looking environments to roam around too, from abandoned streets and car-lots, to parks and petrol station. There’s a lot of detail in the locations and great lighting effects that create an eerie atmosphere. The character models also look great. There are loads of different animations and zombie types, including policeman armed with pistols, tall zombies, short ones, fast ones armed with weapons, and slower ones that you can pick off from a distance. Despite the objective of the game simply being to kill zombies, there was always something new to see around every corner.

With co-op play and online leaderboards also confirmed for Housemarque's multi-directional shooter, we can't see any reason at all why this won't do very well on PSN. Dead Nation may well be set to gain a legion of admirers who will become addicted to its fast-paced and entertaining gameplay.
