Speaking of which, once you�re done with the campaign missions, there�s a new horde mode which sends wave after wave of enemy your way. Extra weapons and ammo are dotted around each map, which will be good to learn the positions of, but this is really all about sticking together and working to take out whatever comes your way.

Unfortunately, we butted against a brick wall of difficulty at the third wave, as LMG toting Super Elites marched in at us, and we were unable to land enough headshots to take them down quickly enough. Nobody said this was meant to be easy, but it brought back memories of the first Zombie Army game, where my team of four found itself stuck at a particular point in one mission, facing waves of enemies that invariably defeated us, to the point that it was no longer any fun and we stopped playing.

That�s a line that Zombie Army Trilogy should toe quite carefully, especially with the skills required to land successive headshots under pressure. It�s for that reason that Sniper Elite 3 will likely be a much better entry point for newcomers, even as Rebellion aim for this trilogy to exist on its own merits, but for those looking for something beyond that, with a wider co-op focus and a distinctive style of its own, Zombie Army Trilogy might just do the trick.
