Then combine this with inherent co-op multiplayer mechanics in reviving dead players, covering each other & the like, and you have a lot of variables to change the outcome of the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even though you “only” kill tons of zombies in every game mode (Isn’t that the reason why we play this? :)), through the wide range of power ups, skills and weapons, every play through offers are different experience.
Gameplay

45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

The standard survival mode is the purest expression of its design: endless waves of zombies, an ever-increasing difficulty curve, and your own skill as the only defense.
