The painstaking attention to the gameplay details shows. To make it through three large worlds in this time travel game, youвЂ™ll have to spend hours replaying levels lots of times. And it has hardcore, sometimes extremely challenging levels that seem simple but are very difficult to master. ItвЂ™s got a silly story and a sense of humor. It does just about everything it needs to capture a large market of players. The verdict on the new game? Fans are going to love it. ThatвЂ™s what made it stand out in the overcrowded zombie game genre. The fundamental breakthrough in this game, in my opinion, was that it was a slow-moving title where you could sit and think about what you needed to do until the horde arrived and became unmanageable. ItвЂ™s rare for a game to have such universal appeal, at least in my household. Even under the ownership of EA, it waltzes toward its game releases, like a slow-moving zombie who wants to eat your lovably misspelled вЂњbrainz.вЂќ All three of my kids were obsessed with the first game, but theyвЂ™ve grown much older as they waited for the new version to arrive. But it is also very well-tested and balanced, and that makes me understand the craftsmanship at PopCap and why it took so long to get this title right. The game bears a lot of resemblance to the first title that came out in 2009. Now the second gameвЂ™s release is imminent, and weвЂ™ve played through many hours of the iOS game (for iPhone and iPad). Now part of Electronic Arts, PopCap has been toiling on this title (on and off, for almost four years) to deliver something both familiar and fresh to millions of fans of the first game. ThatвЂ™s also the way I feel about the timing of this long-awaited game, which is due out for the public very soon.
