Zombieland: Double Tap - Road Trip
High Voltage Software · Oct 15, 2019
About
With it’s own unique story, set between the events of the first movie, Zombieland: Double Tap: Road Trip is a ridiculously fun top-down twin-stick shooter featuring local co-op multiplayer for up to four players. Play as your favorite heroes from the original — Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock — as well as new unlockable characters from the upcoming sequel. The game embraces the game-like elements seen in the film by incorporating everything from the “Rules” to “Zombie Kill of the Week”. Use your special abilities, an arsenal of weapons and the essential Zombieland rules for survival to stay alive against huge numbers of uniquely grotesque and dangerous undead monstrosities in Zombieland: Double Tap: Road Trip’s story-based campaign mode, wave-based horde mode, and boss battles.

Critic reviews
- SKNR.net5.0While the game can be played as a solo game, it works best when you play with a group of people. This way players can experiment with weapons, grenades, and their special abilities with someone to watch your back. The game is good as a casual game but for those looking for a L4D or FPS style Zombie game will be disappointed. If you accept the game for what it is rather than what it is not; you will find some enjoyable gameplay as long as you can overlook the issues.
- NintendoLife3.0Zombieland: Double Tap - Road Trip is everything you’ve come to expect from a lazy movie tie-in. Its gameplay is mechanically competent but it’s bland beyond belief, short, cynical and lazy. It has the most tenuous of links to the actual film it portrays and is ultimately a very basic twin-stick shooter with a tired-looking Zombieland skin tossed carelessly on top – it also costs far more money than it has any right to. If this was a free mobile game you might get an hour or two of braindead time-wasting out of it, but as an almost full price console release, it’s pretty much indefensible.
- GameSpew5.0Had the campaign run a little longer, it might have been a little easier to recommend Zombieland: Double Tap – Roadtrip. Shooting your way through zombies is entertaining, and when you’re having fun it’s easy to overlook the game’s technical downfalls. But when so many other, much better, twin-stick shooters exist, paying full-price for this just because it ties into a somewhat-popular movie franchise is quite a hard sell.
- Way Too Many Games5.0Yet, for some sadistic reason, I’m kind of glad that this game exists. The fact that movie tie-ins are finally back on consoles after a large amount of years being relegated to mobile app stores makes me feel like I’m back in 2004 once again. Please try not to judge me.
- TheXboxHub6.0All in all and Zombieland: Double Tap – Roadtrip on Xbox One is a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Shooting zombies and completing the roadtrip is fun, but the annoyances and niggles do spoil things somewhat. If this was a budget title, then the problems could be overlooked a little more, but as it’s a near damn full price release, it’s tricky to recommend this over a game like Diablo 3, for instance. If you like the films, you’ll most likely enjoy the game, but it is very much a case of what could have been, with cheap deaths and unfair game mechanics marring the experience.
