ZombiU is the end of the world done right (review)

I’d like to thank publisher/developer Ubisoft for being the enthusiastic, unapologetic early adopter of the game industry. Any time major new hardware comes down the pike, Ubi goes all-in. Others bend existing plans to fit.

That’s why no other third-party title to date feels so completely geared to Nintendo’s Wii U console quite like ZombiU (releasing Nov. 18 for the Wii U) does and why it couldn’t possibly land on any other system without sweeping changes. I’ve played a few Nintendo games that don’t feel as fully integrated into the Wii U’s abilities. It might be a revival of Ubisoft’s very first commercial release, Zombi, but ZombiU proudly plants the flag firmly for Nintendo’s latest — and somewhat experimental — hardware.
