Zombie. Most people like zombies. For some reason, people are attracted to the idea of half-rotten guys risen from the dead in torn, rotten clothes, wandering around in search of food. And according to this simple plot: people turn into zombies and eat other people who also turn into zombies, the few surviving people are trying not to get lunch with zombies and escape, many films have been made, many books have been written and games have been made. But there is one thing. We exterminate zombies, we watch how zombies are exterminated, but rarely does any work allow us to feel like zombies. And this, in my opinion, is unfair. After all, trying to escape from a crowd of undead, in the vain hope of saving brains, is not as interesting as trying to catch up with fresh brains. Fortunately, I’m not the only one who thinks so, and the studio Wideload Games released a game in 2005 – a zombie simulator filled with dark humor, and the name of this game is Stubbs the Zombie.
What a mocking, slightly surprised look Stubs has. He seems to be saying that our attempts to escape make him laugh
NOISY NEIGHBORS
We play as the unlucky merchant Edward "Stubs" Stubblewild, who was killed during the Great Depression by farmer Otis Munday, who managed to bury Stubs in what would turn out to be the center of the town of Punchbowl. He wakes up in 1959, on the day the city opens, crawls out of his grave, angry, driven to white heat (imagine being woken up by your neighbors in the middle of the night having a noisy party), with the desire to rest forever and ready to destroy the entire city to achieve this goal, Stubs begins to eat brains and wreak havoc on the peaceful streets of Punchbowl.
Punchbowl came to us from the science fiction of the 50s. The city is completely built in this style and is a science fiction writer’s dream come true – flying cars, robots (computers were not taken seriously back then), video phones (like Lily from Futurama), laser pistols and a monorail.In addition to the city, Stubs, in an attempt to destroy the city, will visit a hydroelectric power station, where he will contaminate the water supply, um, in a very original way, in a police station, in a supermarket, in a greenhouse, on a farm, where we will feel like a real zombie, hiding in the thickets of corn and quietly attracting people to our side. Yes, Stubs, wherever he goes, makes friends easily.
IF YOU ARE ON THE ROAD WITH A FRIEND
Anyone whom Stubs killed or ate his brains after a while takes our side, and if the convert kills someone, he also turns him into a zombie. Zombie apocalypse in action. The strength of the dead is in numbers. And Stubs, as the most important zombie, can command this foul-smelling, hungry crowd, beckoning them with a whistle or pushing them in the right direction with the hands of an individual zombie.
But the enemies are strong, armed, guard their heads and there are many of them. Unfortunately, zombies can’t use weapons, but Stubs doesn’t need that. He uses pieces of his rotten body as weapons: a pancreas removed from the stomach and used as a grenade, emitting corpse gases. Stubs’ hand can move on its own, take over people’s minds, and if they have a firearm, then we can use it. People’s hands are torn off, used by Stubs as a club. He also works great with his head. Tears it off and uses it as a bowling ball. The head explodes, introducing new people to the universal happiness of the dead. All this will help us cope with the police, military, special forces, mad farmers with muskets, scientists and the Security Service, dressed as barbers and singing right during the battle with zombies.
Singing guards are one of the manifestations of local, black and very decent humor.
EAT YOUR BRAINS AND TAKE CARE OF https://nitrobettingcasino.co.uk/games/ YOUR HEAD
Humor is the basis of gameplay. Without him, the game would be a different, darker, serious zombie apocalypse. And it feels like she’s lost half of her charm because of this. There wouldn’t be a short Punchbowl police chief trying to beat the dead and Stubs in a dance competition, there wouldn’t be a fiery, inspiring speech from our hero in the barn, in front of the US flag, in front of our comrades, consisting of one word "Brains"!"and many other wonderful things. Canonical zombies don’t know how to drive cars, and Stubs’ rides in a tank, jeep, truck and my favorite – an improved tractor, where blades were welded onto the bucket, which are so good at crushing and skewering farmers – have disappeared. It’s good that this didn’t happen.
CONCLUSION
Stubbs the Zombie is a unique game in its theme. Usually we play for the good guys and rarely do we manage to stand on the other side of the barricades, try ourselves in a new role, and release our evil demons. Just because of this, the game deserves attention, it’s worth trying, but besides this, it has many other advantages: humor, interesting locations, but the most important thing is the opportunity to feel like a zombie. The graphics are digestible and to date, I have not observed any bugs or glitches, nothing prevents you from immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the zombie apocalypse, which you are the cause of. She deserves an excellent rating.

Minus and minus. It’s unpleasant, at least they would explain why. If at least he’s a troll, then please explain. Otherwise there’s no point. I’m curious what my mistakes are, or my biggest mistake in what I write?))
As for the buggy nature of the game, if I had known, I would have written something else in the review.
I remember once a friend gave it to me. I was a noob back then. I reached the last level, there the apocalypse begins for the player, darkness of warriors, shooting from everywhere, in short, the mission in Brazil is a walk in the park. Never got through.=(()))
I read in some magazine a long time ago that a game is being developed for Sonya Three about the zombie apocalypse, a strategy, no humor, quite a serious game. Has anyone heard of her. Just like that, interesting))
Can engage in piracy and upload my game image to Yandex files? Hmm, the game is five years old, the main circulation has already been sold, and there’s no need to worry about it. There will be no more losses. Blame me because at the beginning of 2006 I bought a pirated collection about zombies))
You don’t need it, don’t download it. If it were that simple, I don’t think people would complain. On rutracker.There is no org, but searching on dubious trackers with a bunch of porn banners is a dubious pleasure))) And I just suggested, don’t kill me for this.
Sorry, guy, I couldn’t distinguish the letter. Woe is me and shame. I’ll go around the world, I need to cleanse myself of this sin))))
Yes, the game is unique in its kind) I still remember how Stubs stood on the farm against the backdrop of the American flag and chanted Brein! Brein. Brein!
