Zombie Driver HD Demo

Using vehicles to escape from zombies is not exactly a new idea, but if you manage to put a little spin on it and make the experience incredibly fun, even non-original concepts can have a lot of success. The same thing goes for the undead, which have been used in countless video games until now and everyone has seen them in basically every kind of circumstance.

Zombie Driver HD is but a remake of the popular release form a few years ago, featuring high-definition graphics and plenty of other improvements suggested by the fans in the meantime. However, the core idea has remained largely unchanged and you can definitely have just as much fun with it as you did with the original version, in case you toyed around with it at the time.

As far as the additional content goes, most of it is in the form of reworked missions and cutscenes, which have been refined and polished a lot, in order to fit the HD label. However, five new vehicles are also part of the mix, as well as plenty of new special effects and enemies. A minimap is also available now, in case you need something to keep you on the right path.

Beside the rather lengthy story mode, you also have the possibility to compete in plenty of other interesting competitions, such as circuit tournaments, or even slaughter derbies. While the tournaments are pretty much self-explanatory, the Slaughter mode basically challenges you to survive for as much as you can in a closed environment, with zombies coming from every direction and very little room for maneuvers.

The vehicles can be customized and upgraded as you go along, because they certainly won’t be able to sustain too much damage toward the end if you do not fortify them properly. Whether it’s a taxi or a tank, additional protection never hurt anybody and there are plenty of other upgrades you can buy as well, including nitro boosts and several types of weapons, such as gatling guns and flamethrowers.

Even if it is just a remake, Zombie Driver HD is good enough to be worth a try from everyone who’s interested in a bit of arcade shooting and a zombie apocalypse. Moreover, the new-age graphics play well with today’s high-resolution computer monitors, so you’ll be able to enjoy the experience on any kind of modern PC.
