How will it be different than all the other zombie games/movies?

Not saying it's going to be ground breaking (it may suck, won't know till the release) but it looks like it could be fun...

Nice, I was hoping there would be a demo for this. I was not expecting anything before the release. I'll download it tonight.

I'm really looking forward to this game. I'll download the demo tonight, but it will be a few days before I get the chance to actually try it out.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I played it for about 10 minutes at the tokyo Gamer Show last year and it was really fun. The reason why this game is good is that you can literally pick up anything in the environment and use it as a weapon. Heck, at one point I went into a grocery store and was throwing fruit at the undead. Its the only game for the Xbox 360 I want to play. though not enough for me to buy a 360.

Oh well, back to me playing Starfox Command on my DS Lite....

I just got home (from the *awesome* Jurassic 5 concert) and this demo is 30% through downloading. I guess I'll play it tomorrow morning.

I have a question. Is there any multiplayer in the demo or the full game?

the best part of the trailer was when he was using a huge table umbrella to knock 'em down.

I really want this game but I'm unsure if I should wait for XBOX 360 version 2 with price change.

The J5 concert was very cool. They put on such a good show, you could tell they were having such a good time and it came out in their show.
I'm sure you'll like it.

Did anyone find the Katana in the demo? It slashes zombies in half.
I was laughing out loud when I found the golf club and sat there aiming golf balls at the zombies.

Where to find the Katana. (Select below, I don't want to ruin it for anyone)
Go to the restaurant on the top floor. The one with all the plastic chairs you can use. Look out the windows and near one of them will be an awning. Jump out the window onto the awning and you'll find the Katana there.
