Dead Nation is a polished, enjoyable, undead romp through a world laid waste by an outbreak of nightmarish automatons. With its simple yet effective control system, not to mention a colourful class of foes that can override the screen - and your senses - in their hundreds at any one time, it's a triumphant if admittedly somewhat repetitive jaunt.

It looks great, too, with much credit due to level design; garbage everywhere, fog littering the dead city, lighting effects bringing out the horror movie in a game, and the amount of zombies on-screen at times.
