Brains..Brains...Brains....Urgh......Stubbs the Zombie

Has anyone else tried Stubbs yet?

I got my copy through this morning and first impressions are that it's pretty fun, nothing amazing but quite good fun wondering around with my little Zombie horde.

Some of the zombie effects/details are very good, one of my current horde is currently missing his legs so is pulling himself along with his arms, another has lost his head over something

(and standing in one place with his arms reaching out) and about half of them are armless

It made me laugh when one I ran into a horde member, rendering him legless (my first one) only for him to pull himself over and keep going

I'm quite looking forward to some of the later levels where I should get more weapons than just my head munch and fart attack.

Don't worry, I didn't pay a lot for it

I'm currently at the dam (some very funny bits

), and still enjoying it, although it is very simple/easy

I'm hoping that it will get a multiplayer patch (official or unofficial) at some point, as it could be great fun with some friends.

odd it should do, it has a load of different resolutions from 640x480 (lowest) to 1024x768 to 1360x768 (highest), via about 5 other settings (common CRT, TFT and widescreen resolutions).

It does however have a seperate setting for refresh rate that may be causing problems, but shouldn't do (out of range is normally a refresh rate that isn't supported by the monitor in it's current resolution).
Even if it were to be starting in widescreen it should still display on the monitor iirc.

"My mother gave me that!"

Some scientist as I pulled his arm off

Aye that it does

Not to mention those ******* *spoilers*Barbershop Quartet guys*spoilers*

Although i've found a rather handy way to deal with them

Werewolf · 19 Feb 2006 at 23:48

for those guys I find a tank, bazooka guy, or machine gunner to be handy

Well, i finished it on medium a few minutes ago and it was pretty good fun, although i'd be annoyed if i'd paid full whack for it.

I'll probably run it through on hard later, now i know what i'm doing.

the dam water bit made me laugh a lot more than it should have done.

I found posessing a guy armed with a gun, taking over a tank, or even gut grenades tended to work fairly well.

Having a lot of zombie cannon fodder also helped (sit Stubbs well out of the way, with your gun guy behind the massed ranks of Zombies)

Re the babershop quartet, they were great
