Zombie Sniper 3D

Zombie Sniper 3D is good, clean, wholesome family fun. Ok, probably not exactly a phrase you’d expect to see regarding this particular game, but it is fun. You are stuck on a rooftop with a sniper rifle. In order to survive, you must zoom in on the zombies and shoot them for points. These points can be used to purchase more ammo as needed. But you need to be fast because these little buggers can get into the building and then have a chance to eat your brains.

I will have to admit, I have seen better graphics in other games but what the developer does here actually works. You can zoom right up to the zombie’s and do either a head or body shot for points. They do come a little clearer as you get closer.

The sound is excellent as well. You have a choice of 4 music tracks to listen to as you wipe the zombies of the face of the earth… or at least your block. And, as an added bonus, you can hear when those zombies are sneaking up on you so you can spin around and shoot them.

The controls are pretty simple to use. Zoom with the left stick and aim with the right and pull the trigger to fire. My only problem here is the same problem I have with sniper guns from other games. When you are zoomed in, your aiming gets slower and it takes a lot of time to zoom out and then in again.

Overall though I did love this game. It’s fun and you get to shoot things. I’m giving this one 4 thumbs up and recommending it to everyone.
