![]() ![]() ![]() The main "Story Mode" is split into seven chapters, titled Papa's Palace of Pain, Ballistic Trauma, Carny, Scream Train, The Fettid Waters, Jailhouse Judgement and the final act: Overkill all have their own distinct style and setting and is presented as its own individual movie, complete with poster, theme tune and intro/outro sequences.Īfter the first 20 or so f-bombs and your finally into the zombie action things should feel pretty familiar, you shoot with trigger, reload with or a quick shake of the Wiimote and finally you can use to fire grenades (once acquired).
