Boxhead: The Zombie Wars is the 5th games in the series of zombie style shooters. The zombies are box shaped and this version brings in a few new types of zombies. Zombie Wars brings a new feature to the series, now you can construct your own base with turrets and barricades. This mode is called defense where you are required to keep your base operational at all times otherwise the Zombies will over run you.

Now this is a great game, but it has its issues. Firstly there are too many zombies in the easier modes, while this is good for getting points, it means that the zombies quickly overrun you. Secondly, while the base items are availiable in the non defence games, the number of zombies is soon too many to build a base that can stand up to the zombies.

The graphics are very refined and give the game its comic style. However the sound is a little bland, and repetitive. But the guns all sound like they should, and make firing the rocket launcher fun. Gun upgrades can be unlocked by getting a higher bonus multiplier which you add to by killing zombies. Being the 5th in the series its surprising still to see continued innovation from the creator. Overall this is a great game, if being a little short and repetitive.

I give this a beefy 8 out of ten.

The game can be found here.
