You wanted to lose weight? Here you go!



Get the ultimate workout!

Yes I know that I already posted up about a zombie app, but this one takes the cake. 'Zombies. Run!' has become one of the mosty recent apps to combine fitness with zombies, which is quite an interesting combination.
It's hard to describe just what this game is like, so I will give you a blurb instead. Yeah, I'm good at blurbs:

The game places the runner in a zombie apocalypse, where you take on the role of Runner 5 (In the game, runners are the people who leave hot-spots to find medical and food supplies). Whilst running, the game will be simulating sounds, noises and echoes of different zombies that increase your running time.
Whilst doing this, the device picks up different items on the run, which can be used when running from Zeds. The opening menu shows an RTS style base, where you can distribute these supplies and increase your population. The game is mission based, and currently has up to 30 chapters

Here is the good news: This app updates weekly.
New Content YAY!


But there is a bit of a downside. The missions are difficult to get into, and a lot of the game requires you to use your imagination. Sometimes the charachters speech impairment can be aggravating, and other times the app will randomlty shut down on you, forcing you back to the beginning of the mission.

My rating: 3/5 for graphics, 4/5 for Gameplay, 3/5 for Development and a 6/5 for originality. This is a very interesting game, and I definetley recommend for those who want to lose weight but have fun at the same time. Zombies. Run! Is a well thought out app.
