As an avid Halo 2 junkie, the co-op campaign and Xbox controls made the transition from space marine to dopey zombie salesman rather seamless. There were also plenty of vehicles to commandeer and drive recklessly through the perfectly polished pathways of Punchbowl.įor my college self, the gameplay and visuals in Stubbs the Zombie felt like second nature, since the game was developed using the Halo engine. Stubbs has some additional actions, most of which involve tearing off his own arm to beat enemies, activate switches, and take control of better-armed adversaries for some shooter options. As Stubbs, players can attack the citizens of Punchbowl, eating their brains and creating a group of zombie comrades that devour right alongside you. Most of the game is spent trailing industrialist Andrew Monday through the city of Punchbowl. What follows is a comedic and creepy quest through a sort of retro-future metropolis the “city of tomorrow” that might have been seen in 1950s science fiction. Angered at the venture capitalist who disturbed his eternal rest, Stubbs decides to hunt the wealthy playboy and cause quite a bit of carnage along the way. After collapsing in the woods in 1933, Stubbs is reanimated in 1959, at the grand opening of Punchbowl, Pennsylvania.
The titular Stubbs the Zombie was once Edward Stubblefield, a traveling salesman who met his untimely demise from a gunshot, courtesy of his gal Maggie’s father. Rebel Without a Pulse hit store shelves in 2005, during the appropriate month of October. That’s the sort of thing you leave to Stubbs the Zombie. You don’t exactly lead Polterguy to devour brains or guide Chuck to create a legion of creeping creatures. Head in DecapAttack or the ghoulish Polterguy in Haunting, but these examples are not really “zombie” games, strictly speaking.
There have been a few games with undead protagonists like the mummy Chuck D. Most of the time, players are limited to competitive shooters where it’s humans versus the undead (Go Team Zombie!) or in action games via a sort of temporary “extra life” as a shambling corpse(read: SO SLOW). It’s a rare video game that will let you take control of a zombie.
