Cure the Zombies Editor's Review
Cure the zombies is a freeware arcade game with a zombie focus that appears to be very heavily focussed at a younger demographic. How is this clear? The game has very colourful art, a very simple and straight forward goal and all of the gore is done with screen flashes instead of actual gore. Is this a bad thing? Not necessarily, but it may be something you want to bear in mind. In cure the zombies there is one goal; cure all of the zombies. This is done by avoiding the zombies for as long as possible.
The game play of cure the zombies is surprisingly simple, and yet still a little confusing, despite clear instructions. You are placed in a level with zombies, civilians and blocks in between as well as power ups and letters. You must avoid the zombies (as being bitten by a zombie will infect your current character and bring in a new one) stop the zombies from biting the humans, as less zombies is less problem, and finally try to cure the zombies. This is done by going over the four letters, which spell cure, in order, and then collecting the cure when it appears.
This sounds fairly simple and easy right? Yes, but there are quite a few flaws with this system. First of all the letters must be collected in order, which is forgiveable by itself, but then the letters don't all spawn at the same time, and instead spawn at random intervals, meaning you just have to wait for all of them to spawn, and takes away any intensity the game could have otherwise had. As well as this, if any of the civilians die they turn into zombies, making it your duty to protect computer AI which seems intent on trying to get themselves killed and making stupid moves.
The game gets progressively more difficult as you complete more stages, by adding more blocks (and therefore tight spaces to get caught in) as well as more civilians to protect, leading to a lot of luck rather than skill making you progress. The control scheme helps this to some extent, being for the most part pretty responsive, but when you get too near to blocks they seem to break, which is not ideal when you're close to being cornered
The presentation of cure the zombies is one of the areas where the game really shows it simplicity. The sprites are all very colourful, and this certainty isn't a complaint, but the lack of animations combined with this are a real let down. The sounds match this too, being very simple and slight disappointing. Overall, cure the zombies is a great game to pick up if you want really simple arcade fun, with a side of zombies. If depth or skill are your things, this might not be for you, however as it seriously lacks both those things.
3/5
Cure the Zombies Publisher's Description
Some humans have turned into zombies after the outbreak of a dangerous virus in zone X. Now they are coming for the uninfected in other areas. As the heroic character in the game, your task is to collect the antidote so that the zombies can be reverted to humans. The game opens with an area containing four doors at the cardinal directions of north, south, east and west. Then a zombie will walk around and try to tag the humans. You may use the four arrow keys on your keyboard to control the movements of your character. To collect the antidote, you need to light up the four letters of C, U, R and E, but not necessarily in the correct order. The letters will appear one by one, and you need to control your character to run across all of the letters so that the antidote will appear. Be careful not to run across the letters which have already been lightened up, as otherwise you will need to collect that letter again. When the antidote is available, move your character to collect it so that all zombies in the area can be cured and turned back to humans. At the start of each level, the zombies will first target the humans, but when all of them are tagged and mutated, they will all turn to hunt you. When you are tagged by a zombie, you will be infected and paralyzed, one life will be deducted and a new hero will arrive. The game ends when all lives are used up. To escape from the manhunt, you may make good use of the four doors in order to come out from the other side, or get the power-ups to fight against the zombies. Each of the power-ups carries a unique effect and is labeled with different icons: the roller skate speeds up your character; the clock stuns the zombies; the turtleback slows down the zombies; the daze disorients the zombies; and the face of the hero gives you one extra life. The power-ups will appear randomly, so let them be your assistance before they vanish from the area. Also bear in mind that except the extra life is granted permanently, all other power-
