World War Z Ratings & Reviews

Destructoid

by Kevin McClusky

7.5 / 10

Is World War Z as good as Left 4 Dead? No. Is it fun despite that? Yes. There's few pleasures in gaming that can compare to swinging a thrumming chainsaw blade through a horde of ravenous undead, and World War Z delivers. And really, it's not like Valve makes games anymore.

7.4 / 10

World War Z's lack of variety and ambition can't stop a satisfying zombie slashing with a good group of friends.

6 / 10

World War Z is unrefined and rough around the edges, but it makes up for this with satisfying co-operative action that fills your screen with hundreds of enemies for you to kill.
