Zombi

Oh dear, here's one that got missed the first time round. However, in case you spit it in the local computer shop on the budget shelf, we present here a small review. No no, don't thank us - all part of the service.

Zombi is from Ubisoft, the software house who recently brought us the excellent B.A.T. Unlike B.A.T., however, Zombi is a downgraded dungeon game. You control four troubleshooting Red Cross type people sent out to save the rest of the world from a Zombie invasion, and you have to wander around a shopping mall peopled by gruesome skinless creatures with a taste for flesh.

You control your people with the mouse and they all need to be moved separately around the landscape. To pick up objects, you click on the object on screen and it then appears in a window. The game itself is tiresome and dull, and quite frankly I'm glad we missed it first time around.
