High Voltage summed up the premise of this cartoonishly zany game more cleverly than we could by saying, "Now, wandering freely through the zoo, the rotting beasts are no longer content with eating visitor scraps they get tossed into their cages -- instead they prefer to eat the whole visitor."
Not only do you have to kill the zombified animals, but you also have to save the poor creatures that have not yet succumbed to the outbreak. Funnily enough, the undead animals drop pesos when you kill them, which can be used to upgrade your weapons. As for the controls, the game is essentially a point-and-shoot action title, putting the Wiimote to good use. There's also a co-op mode where you can play with up to four people, if you're not shut-ins like us.
We posted some goodies after the break, including a hilarious trailer, so make sure to take a look.
[Thanks, Duscrom!]

Mucha razón tendrás, jajajajaja, aqui los precios son algo altos, sobre todo por el norte, lo que es Sonora, Chihuahua y Nuevo León. Si te vas pal sur, naaaa, ahi todo esta más barato.

I do hope High Voltage does continue to keep making products for the Wii.
Between this, Gyrostarr (their WiiWare launch game) and The Conduit, they're at least attempting to market towards the normal gamer. I just really hope these games are as fun as they look.

It turns out you can use a monkey sound effect too much.

I have been looking for a game that played like Alien Syndrome that wasn't...you know...Alien Syndrome. Plus, it's downloadable! I won't have to get off my lazy *** to buy it! Sweet. Go HVS!

Must get. Looks like a new imagining of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, or Zombies! for those friends of mine from across the pond.

Looks like must buy! If the price is anywhere between 500-100 I'm buying this as brainlessly as possible, if it's 1500 or something, then I'll think about it because it truly looks awesome. High Voltage really needs to prove to devs out there that is an audience for M-rated games out there on the Wii. We, or at least I, love you High Voltage, and even if the conduit doesn't get such great reviews, I'm gonna buy simply t prove that trying hard pays off!

I will just wait until someone makes another Zombies Ate my Neighbours. That is the ultimate zombie game.
Also this looks like one of those horrid "new" XBLA games made by inexperienced developers.

At least they are developing for the Wii, and not the 360.
You said it, they are inexperienced developers, so inexperienced, they developed a engine that put the Wii to its limits and they are testing its capabilities with this little games. They are doing test, so in the future, they come out with something even more powerfull
