App Review: Zombie Highway

2013-02-05
hello everyone my name is Joe Hindi from Android authority comm and today we're gonna be taking a look at Sambi Highway it's a game in the Google Play Store that's available right now for just $1 you control the game by holding the phone in landscape mode and tilting it to steer the goal is to drive down the highway and kill all the zombies before they have a chance to kill you there are three ways to kill zombies you can shoot them by tapping the red spots that show up on the left or right side of the screen you can also run them over if you get lucky but the very best way is to pull up next to the obstacles and just scrape them off that is essentially the whole game in a nutshell running zombies down shooting them or scraping them off your car while there are sound effects for the car movement in the zombies grunting there is no music to assist in keeping players immersed if you run into an obstacle or get flipped over you'll lose the game its simplicity is fantastic for mobile gamers who just want to pick it up and play however that simplicity also limits the game is you really are just driving down a highway and killing zombies given the simplistic nature of the game we decided to give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars the graphics won't win any awards but considering the scope of the game they really aren't that bad the zombies look like zombies the cars look like cars and the roads look like roads there is no pixelation when playing and everything is very smooth organized and thought-out when everything is added up we gave the graphics to 3 out of 5 stars strictly because the graphics look very good and everything is implemented well but there's always room for improvement the replay value is very high with this game players are challenged to get a little further with each try and after a point it does get a lot harder the experiences further refreshed as players unlock new roads and weapons which adds features to the game since a round lasts all of a few minutes and running down zombies is well fun players can delight themselves in undead slaughter whenever they have time to kill without worrying about being dragged in for hours even that it's designed for short-term play sessions we gave this a replay value of 4 out of 5 stars the menu of the game is very well organized and that makes it easy to navigate under the main menu you can look at your weapon car and level selections as well as a news box to push out news from the developers in the level selection screen you can choose which road you want to drive down you unlock them by accumulating so many levels in the game or by earning medals which you earn by doing well a few levels offer unique challenges like slippery roads the car selection screen is very similar you can choose your car based on its attributes as you may have guessed attributes affect things like handling and how well zombies can flip you that are unlocked by killing zombies and by accumulating miles in-game and the gun selection screen gamers can choose their tools of destruction available are an assortment of weapons like pistols shotguns and flamethrowers you can have up to three weapons equipped at once which should help for at least a little while like levels of vehicles these are unlocked after driving so many miles or by killing so many zombies if you are feeling particularly lazy there is a gun shop where you can buy these weapons as in-app purchases zombie highway packs quite a bit of fun for such a simple game while you won't get any storyline or campaign mode you will have all sorts of fun mowing down the undead there are some pitfalls and it's by no means the perfect game but you can find way worse ways to spend a buck so our overall value for the game is four out of five stars once again on Joe handy from Android a 30.com and don't forget to subscribe and check out our social media sites in the video description
