There is absolutely no 3rd person in the game, so yes the animations look much much better from the first person, the combat feels incredibly satisfying..

I said they look better from the first person. Not that they were different.

I've got this game on dowload now and can't wait for it to finish.

Zombies...
Skill trees...
Leveling...

What more could you want from a game.

btw if you ever find yourself cornered by 4-5 zombies, just mash the kick button over and over. hits faster than almost any attack and knocks them down

I love the zombie survival horror genre but this game looks really poorly executed and doesnt excite me at all. The graphics of the environment look pretty nice but the animation, combat and gameplay look really bad.

Informative review from the Gamecentral crew. they gave it a 5/10 - http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/87441 ... ppy-trails

Main issues seem to be multiplayer (not an issue for a isolated bastard such as myself), shoddy melee combat and the fact that items respawn and can be therefore be used as XP mines, which detracts massively from the survival horror aspect.

Fair, those last 2 are pretty big issues.
