Why is the perspective of this dead-center (the back seat?) instead of the driver's side?

Chomsky and Zinn have a trenchant critique of the colonialist doctrine of endless war against a dehumanised other implicit in the zombie genre. The corporations use these games and movies to condition young men to slaughter brown people living on oil-rich land without remorse.

@2 tell them to make it PC also and not just console, for the love of God.

I played this almost until the end. Once you get all the upgrades, there really isn't much to do and your car doesn't really kick that much more ass. But it's fun for a while.

It'd probably be more fun if the controls weren't so buggy. Seems like it can handle no more than two concurrent keypresses.

@9: Wait, no, sometimes it can handle 3. It's just buggy as all shit.

Also, the helicopters are retarded. The only way to kill them is by driving on the shoulder, which is invariably cluttered with wrecked cars.

Leveling up is so addictive. Can't stop improving car.

@5 perspective from the back seat lets you see your "character". I'm assuming they have a POV zoom like in WoW.

That said, I am so over FPS and zombie games. Wake me up when they do one with cuddly teddy bears and flowers.

If you like driving beautiful big boat 1940s coupes then you have to try Mafia II.
