I don't recall too many reviews for the PC version in the PC mags,
but I remember one in particular who gave it a 7, only because of the
default graphic setting, but apparently loved the idea of blowing away
zombies with your keyboard (which prompted them to use "___of the Dead"
with any word they could think of for the next several issues).
But I like it, and it's got Mavis Beacon beat all hollow ^_^.
