So, this is a free download for xbox live gold memberships.

I had it on disc and played it single player a few years back, but SWMBO downloaded it too and we managed a co-op mission, it was fun, starting from the beginning and working together on the missions.

Does anyone else play this and would they be interested in online co-op?

I pulled this down a couple of days ago.

It's lightly amusing. Could be up for some co-op but I don't get a lot of time to play these days

The gameplay can be a little repetative - go here, retrive this item, bring it back, all the while beating up the various zombies, come back sell the crap you picked up, repair/upgrade your weapons, repeat

But its fun while doing this with mates.

Add me, my GT is: WONGSHUIS.

Bought it on Steam years ago for the PC - Awesome game, one of few I bothered to play through to completion.

Can you do co-op on one xbox? We have two in the house but only one gold subscription, don't fancy paying the extra just for my wife to play for 2 hours then get bored and never play again...

I know the option is there to system link, I assume this is done over wifi.

Press X on the play screen to change the game mode.

Sledgehammers are fun.

4 max.

Its better to play at equal levels, i.e. if i use my lvl 25 character, there are more and harder zombies, so the lower level players will just get owned.

Me and storssy have low level players currently.

I've got this on disc as well. Now I've downloaded it I still can't play it without putting the disc in as I've installed that to the hard drive.

I'd be up for some co-op action.

From my experience not true, I play with my 2 mates, one slightly higher and other about half my level. The zombies are set at the players level. For example you're level 25 and I'm level 10. We both attack the same zombie, on your screen it's level 25 and on mine it's level 10. Quite a clever system smile

yeah, we got that last night when me "not dave" and "not Storsy" had a little co-op play.

Hilarious at times, bloody funny at others, all in all great fun.

Loving the slow motion moments when you get that hammer strike just right and cause a zombies head to rupture like a watermelon in glorious technicolour.


ps. The amount of times we had killed a group of zombies and a noise of slashing would make you turn back to see Stacy still there, slicing off the remaining limbs and head from the bodys in random moments of "still want to kill/I like the noise it makes"... very funny but quite worrying at the same time wink

No problem mate, I figured that was the case. I'm not sure what level I'm on, I'm not terribly high.
