The Last Guy - Reviewed at Last

Posted by Jereme Mr. Evil Puik,

Just imagine if you will, a purple ray of light hits planet Earth and turns those outside and affected by the light into mindless zombies and unknown creatures never before seen by man. You are The Last Guy and your job is to save the citizens before they are massacred by these zombies. You must dive into zombie filled cities from across the world and save the citizens that have hidden themselves away in various buildings. You gather them up as quickly as possible and as many of them as possible before time expires and lead them to the designated “Escape Zone”. I love zombies, you love zombies, and it’s pretty easy to say that everyone loves or has loved zombies at one point or another, zombies. Never underestimate such a small downloadable game such as this, I did and it will completely overwhelm you in time.

As I have so gracefully explained in this plot-driven action/adventure title, The Last Guy centers its gameplay on one person. This person is the superhero in this day and age thus why you see his red cape flowing through the wind as you race all around town. There are 14 cities used as the backdrop for each level in the game and provide an entertaining look at the zombie action genre. While playing as the one sane man alive in the world, the real cities play quite a role here those being London, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. These cities each have their own unique characteristics and challenges that you have to overcome in order to make it through and save everyone in time. Zombies have their own designated paths and you have to make sure you watch your line of citizens so that they don’t get attacked.

 Our Rating for The Last Guy - Reviewed at Last
8.0
Replay
Lot’s of cities, as stated, 14+ make it easy to come back to and finish what you started. Extra stages also give it more reason to completely finish the game.
8.5
Graphics
it’s always a treat when developers are able to take something out of the ordinary and make it into something extraordinary. It’s simple, but it works.
8.0
Sound
Although it’s an 8-bit soundtrack which might turn off some gamers, the older generation will certainly get a kick out of it, especially the Japanese-accented voices.
8.5
Gameplay
It’s a treat to get something on the opposite side of the zombie genre. Instead of killing them, you’re actually saving people from them. It’s genius, I’d say.
0.1
Multiplayer
N/a
8.9
Overall
The Last Guy proves that simple gameplay concepts work and give satisfaction to even the most casual gamer. Difficulty isn’t too overly complicated and can appeal to everyone that is interested. Replay value makes it worth the dollars spent.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I’m really wanting to listen to the soundtrack that plays.

Oh, and I think there might have been an error on replayability. Only a .1
