Top down viewpoint Left 4 Dead clone Zombie Apocalypse comes out on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network tomorrow, and I’m excited.  I thoroughly enjoy playing Left 4 Dead, but Zombie Apocalypse just has that old school feel that makes me really want to play.  Looking at the screenshots I’m reminded of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and the time I would spend playing through that with friends on SNES.  Of course I never beat ZAMN, because of the ridiculous difficulty you find on the game’s later levels, but I’m thinking I can tackle Zombie Apocalypse.

I’m drawn to this for the crazy zombie gameplay, and HD graphics in an old school style.  Zombie Apocalypse will provide the standard top down shooter controls with one analog stick serving as your movement, and the other for shooting.  ZA provides a wide variety of crazy weapons to take out the zombie hordes looking to make a meal of you.  You’ll also be able to find objects in the environment to interact with, and blow up the hordes.  

All in all this looks like a mix of Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Left 4 Dead.  Two zombie games I love, and would have fun playing mixed together.  The ability to play with up to 3 other people online just adds to the fun.
