There’s nothing like The Driver facing down a military chopper while he shouts, “I’m not stopping. I also love how incredibly cheesy some of the lines are. It’s not great but for some people with theoretically zero dollars worth of budget I found myself reasonably immersed. The voice acting is better than I expected it to be. It also has functioning windshield wipers for getting the blood off. I took a quick look at the controls and hit F at which point the driver smashed the windshield. I could barely see through it and I figured I’d have to ram into more things in order to break it which would deal damage to the vehicle as well. My windshield got all smashed up because it had been shot and I had rammed into some things. The game has more robust design than I was expecting it to have. You can spend road points on body armor, a minimap that shows you where the hazards are, better tires, a fire-arm to get those pesky zombies off your dashboard - which is the most stressful thing ever, by the way. You can get civilians out of the way by honking the horn but that will attract zombies and soldiers to you. You lose points by the bucket-full for hitting civilians. You get road points by reaching distance milestones, hitting military people who are trying to stop you, and hitting zombies.
NEWGROUNDS ROAD OF THE DEAD 2 UPGRADE
You can upgrade your vehicle by spending Road Points - which I think is a hilarious name. You don’t have to drive the whole highway in one go though, the game’s got checkpoints to make things a little easier. The road is littered with abandoned cars, good old fashioned oil slicks, zombies, people, and the goddam military. You never figure out why it’s happening but it’s largely irrelevant to your desire to get the fuck out. You play as an automotive mechanic using your suped up sports car to try to escape a city that’s experiencing a zombie outbreak. But it was a short game so it was only king for a day and then we moved back to playing TF2. We were all shouting about how cool we thought it was and laughing about the crazy things that were happening to us. It started with one of us at our college campus’ computer club and it spread like a zombie virus itself. This game spread like wildfire when my friends and I played it.
It’s competition was The Room: The game also on Newgrounds, Loved, and Robot Unicorn Attack. Road of the Dead was released on October 13th, 2010. These animations include Zombie Panic, Don’t Feed the Zombie, and Lab of the Dead so I think it’s safe to say that Kidwell enjoys zombies - there’s also a game called Segway of the Dead so Kidwell’s definitely got a sense of humor. Road of the Dead was made by Jim Kidwell under the name SickDeathFiend –is this guy sixteen? He’s been steadily making games and animations since 2003 - where he may well have been sixteen (well played internet, well played). It’s a game that I love but I’m not sure if it’s actually good. Road of the Dead is a kind of driving game– I mean, you don’t actually turn, you just shift along the road– where the city is being overrun by zombies - how original– and you have to escape them –actually, a little more original than killing them all.
