Kills more people than I would like.  Should be able to swoop in and save the good guys at least almost every time.  Good characters, always an interesting read.

two things really keep this game from excelling.
1. if you want to play you better work the nightshift because this is like streaming HD on a 56k Modem connection. if you are lucky it'll respond before you die.

2. I really miss being able to make exception weapons by finding runes and placing them in socketed weapons.

I'm not really a hardcore gamer, but do play video games now and again. This game seems a little too hardcore without much introduction. You get put in a war situation and must fight to survive, but also must be an aggressive fighter. Ok, good so far as nothing is wrong with that. But you do get killed a lot and there's a lot of standing around at first trying to figure out what to do. Admittedly I'm only in the beginning phases, but seem spend too much time just waiting after a kill to get back to playing, as if there is some type of punishment for getting killed. Other games like Motorstorm rematerialize you right away. I mean you're there to play, not to sit and wait for some obligatory punishment/waiting period after you've died. I'm sure there are a lot of poignant and entertaining moments with this game, but I may never get to them. Also I've noted this is a frustrating game for any kids under 13, of course it's rated M anyway. I'm thinking of selling the game after having it about 3 weeks or so and with about 10 hours of playing time. I much prefer Motorstorm and kids do too.

That was my first review. Now I've given it another chance and find this game to be awesome. It's taken this long to get back to the review since I spend so much time playing the game. Really started getting into the game in cooperative mode and haven't looked back since. There are some specific skills you need, such as accurate aiming with a joystick, and the ability to think quickly (change guns, throw grenade, find a better position, etc.). Using strategy pays off. There is hardly ever just one way to achieve the mission. Many paths let you go slow and stealthy, or fast and in-your-face. I'm now a full convert to this game and fully recommend it. Though it's a lot of violence, playing it with younger kids gives a good opportunity to discuss fantasy from reality. I play it with children as young as 9 and find the language acceptable.

Did not work for me. I was terrorized for weeks until my building brought in an exterminator. He laid down old-fashioned snap traps and my problem was solved in a few hours. I tried being "humane" to no avail. At least with the snap traps, pests are killed instantly.

The game looks beautiful and the controls are great!  But, when it is imposible to complete a mission without using a trial-and-error method, things get pretty tedious pretty quick.  If you don't mind reloading each mission 10 or 20 times, then have fun!  Otherwise, you might want to try renting it first to see if it's really as bad as I say!

Loved the idea!  Save the bugs.  Well, I cant catch them.  The opening is too small, so I took the black tip off.  The fan is too gentle so I cant suck the bugs up.  Our problem is masquito hawks.  They swarm in at night and it's hard to keep them at bay.  We have to use the vacume unfortunately.  We tried

waist of 30 minutes of bandwidth. Once they actually got to "combat" I just couldn't. What idiot does CPR in a combat setting? No pulse, not breathing, and we have a two way rifle rage? The dudes dead move to someone who can fight. I just couldn't. I haven't even been in combat and I just couldn't.

Doesn't reliably kill flies. Stuns them nicely, but it takes two or more zaps to really put them down for good. Too many times have I been startled by a "dead" fly springing back to life...

For potential buyers, I want to particularly highlight a major downfall of this game: there is no option to SAVE. In otherwords, if you don't completely clear a level at one sitting, once you turn the game off you must completely start the level over. Additionally, even during one sitting there are very few checkpoints (1 in the first level), so when you die you end up returning over and over and over and over to the beginning of the level, or the previous checkpoint. For those of you who can't always sit for indefinte hours straight to play, this is a huge negative.

Some tidbits if you are thinking of this game  and if like me you are not a game-wizard.  A NICE feature is that you can save the game by opening the options from the controller and just save, shut off.  You will be in one of the car garages when you continue later, but you don't have to look for a bathroom or, find a port-o-potty to save the game at.  Leveling up  another perk is that if like me, you want to heavily Level-UP before you get into other parts of the game, it is easy.  You will have to re-start the storyline from the beginning each time, but you can save the game and shut down.  Re-start and instead of continue you select re-start storyline.  ALL your level ups and abilities follow you  making it easier to get stronger and have more life and weapons storage each time.  This means  you can start wading into zombie crowds to kill them with weapons melee  this builds up your Power Points FAST.  Then take those points and but more upgrades. (best way to rapidly power up is getting into the zombie crowds and killing them VS driving over them  you will get a Kill Spree clock that comes up and the more you keep killing in short order, the higher the points you get for each kill = more points to buy more stuff and rapid level increases).  I also liked that once you pick up  anything (!)-or weapon or make a combo-weapon, it will store a couple spares in the safe-rooms lockers that you can go grab  in a pinch.  The easiest bad-monkey combo weapon to make the moment you find the blue glowing schematic, is the Heavy Metal.  A 2 x 4 and a lead pipe combined make a solid killer club that if you power swing, sends you into a moving whirling  multi-zombie killer, so look for that one to make asap.

i bought 2 of these units, as well as the larger one. When I turn them on, I hear it zapping all night long. It zaps, and zaps, and zaps. I started to time how much it zapped, and it averages about 5 zaps per minute, assuming each zap is a bug. So if you multiply that 5 zaps per minute, 60 minutes per hour = 300 zaps. 300 zaps per hour x 8 hours (say it starts at 8pm till say 4am) so that would be 2,400 zaps (bugs). But when I go out there, there's no where near that many dead bugs. So I started checking on it more and more, and I was noticing bugs that were previously laying there, were now gone. So I pulled up a chair and watch a bit more. It turns out that when it zaps the bugs, many of them are just being stunned, not killed. So I started putting a tray of water below the unit, so when it stuns the bugs, they fall into the water. After that I noticed less zapping all night long, but in the mornings, I'd have a a tray full of hundreds of mostly dead bugs. I also put sticky paper under the trap to catch/capture the bugs as well, and it works too.

So the bottom line is that it's great at attracting the bugs, and zapping/stunning them, but it's not killing them. For that reason, I'm giving it only 1 star, because I want to kill the bugs, not just stun them.

I must be getting old (actually, I think I realized that a while ago).  I can't get through the first big challenge.  I'm constantly being slaughtered.  I suppose, if I did some research, I might be able to figure out how to kill the baddies but, it's a game and I don't have the patience.  I love RPGs and enjoyed Zelda, the Myst series and other puzzle solving RPGs games (does that indicate how old I am?).  But this one drove me beyond my patience threshold and dropped me, bleeding and defeated on the forest floor. So, now Dragon Age sits in my MAC waiting for that day when I have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to do.  Maybe then I'll spend a few hours honing my killing skills and send my team of soldiers back out into the Dragon's world.

I bought this product because I wanted a way to kill mice that I wouldn't have to touch.  While I hate the normal snap traps, I appreciate the fact that a good trap will kill the mouse every time and that I can see that the mouse is dead.  With the Victor Electronic trap, you can not confirm that the mouse in there is dead.  I have anxiety with this trap because I don't know if a mouse is going to crawl out of the trap when I pick it up.  That is just me though, I am extremely scared of mice and hate dealing with them.  The trap worked just fine, killed a mouse within the first 24 hours of having it, but since I am not someone who cares if mice are killed humanely, I wish I would have just stuck with the snap traps so that I have no doubt that the mouse is dead before removing it.  The product should have been a 5 out of 5, its just my bias towards confirming that the mouse is dead that makes it a 4 out of 5.

Controller is a bit glicthy and still shuts off mid game when I use drop shot and rapid fire together...not the ideal situation you want to happen when your on a 30 kill streak. Sorry but im going back to 2 stars.

who will get bit?  who will survive?  the author reaches a point where you care!  i'm tired of the usual bad guys who survive the z'apoc and enjoy the chaos as a milieu for more murder, but i guess it's required by the genre.  eager for sequel/book 2!

THERE WAS A PROBLEM with amazon/kindle on the last pages of the book--it froze and after an hour on the phone, the reps figured out how to restore it for 10 seconds (only).  So when you've read the book and get to the author's notes--stop!

If you or your partner dies, you are forced to go all the way back where you started the game to repeat from last save point. This is so annoying and I don't want to play anymore! Game developers should add more save points like in "RE 4".

I purchased these at the local store, the selling point for me was the fact it killed the mouse instantly and I wouldn't see it. What a crock. The traps do work and they are effective but they do not kill the mouse instantly. When the trap tripped and swiveled around I went into the kitchen to see if it was a false alarm. I picked the trap up and noticed it was warm and I could feel the mouse 'twitching' inside. I thought it was just the dead mouse having 'reflexes' so I left it on my desk while playing Skyrim and the thing was still making scratching and struggling noises inside the container for 3 hours. I felt so bad that it had to die in such a painful way. I wanted to try and save it but once that thing spins around, there is no going back. I am never using a kill trap again despite how instantly it claims to kill the mouse. I purchased two no kill, humane traps and I have used them ever since.

The D-Con device itself has no killing mechanism inside of it, all it does is 'crush' the mouse between two circular pieces of plastic separated by an 'S' shaped wall inside. The mouse actually dies from either starvation or lack of air because it's trapped inside, or from trauma to its body from being crushed but NOT INSTANTLY. I broke one open, and then started to feel remorse for what I had done to the poor mouse.
