The score isn't brilliant, but it reels with the sounds and sites one might expect when mutating and fighting hordes of both intelligent and blunt zombies. When entering a room and everything becomes completely silent, that's where the key is hit. Sound is done so gloriously that while we were never frightened, our surround sound systems were turned up high with seats tilted towards the screen. Every noise that seemed out of place made us twist and turn to find the cause, ensuring that no denizen of the night was fluttering behind our backs. No game on the Xbox 360 can claim such an intimate experience.

These moments didn't happen often, but when they did it was humbling, especially early on when the available weapons are limited to a simple pistol and the Glaive. Weapons are near impossible to come by, not because they aren't used but rather soldiers who use them all have sensors indicating the weapon's user. If you aren't the registered soldier, you only get about 20 seconds of firing time. It may be enough for using the available ammunition, but it's only a short-term solution.
