What flies south in the winter and quacks "cruummbbbssss"? Zombie Ducks! And they're invading your iPhone and iPod Touch! Only you can stop them, so it's time to go on a Zombie Duck Hunt. |
Zombies are still popular — the craze that everybody wants to be a part of. The latest example of this is Zombie Duck.
Zombie duck is a hunting game—using the accelerometer, you tilt your iPhone to put the cross hairs over a duck that’s flying across the screen. When the crosshairs are firmly over the duck, press the ‘gun’ button to fire and shoot. If you don’t kill him fast enough, he turns into a zombie (IE: a red duck). If you don’t kill the duck within 5 seconds of that, you lose a heart. Once you lose all your hearts, the game is over.
As you progress through the levels you can select different guns—ones that fire faster or hold more amo at once.
The controls on the game were difficult to use—although using the accelerometer as a means to aim made sense, I thought that using “buttons” in the corner of the screen to load and shoot your gun were awkward. If you were going to use gestures/motion to aim the gun, I thought it would make more sense to continue this metaphor and tap the screen and shake the phone to shoot and reload?
Sure this one is free, but we think it isn’t worth the space on your phone.
Quick Take
Value: Low -- even at free I felt ripped off!
Would I Buy Again: Nope
Learning Curve: Low learning curve, but the UI is still awkward
Who Is It For: People that like hunting games
What I Like: The concept isn't bad
What I Don't: Just about everything--the game play is boring, the "zombie" idea is forced, and the user interface is awkard
Final Statement: Keep away from this one, it isn't worth it
