World War Z Reviews
You need to love shooting, shooting and shooting. That's the game. The only “new” thing it brings to the TPS scene is the ZOMBIE SWARM. Every other element of the game can be found in previous shooting games.
World War Z has a lot of technical issues than could be solved with some updates. But if you have a group of friends to play with, the game can be very enjoyable.

Overall, World War Z provides a decent co-op zombie experience, despite some drawbacks. The weapons lack oomph, even when powered up, but they are still decent. The class system doesn't make anyone feel too different, but much like the weapons, there aren't any terrible classes
World War Z doesn't hide its intentions. It's not a layered, in-depth survival sim. It doesn't try to be anything it's not. It's built around the horde effect, which it nails. They're like train wrecks: you can't stop watching them—except the train is headed straight for you.
And that really is what it comes down to. I feel that if anyone enjoys cooperative player vs environment games like Left 4 Dead, Strange Brigade or Warhammer: Vermintide, then World War Z is for you. It's not the greatest of the bunch, but it scratches the same itch as the above games while bringing a little something of its own with the swarm mechanic.
Saber Interactive focused on pure fun and in this regard the studio fulfilled its goal. The game, despite its problems, is offered at a budget price and presentes an ideal cantidate for spending countless hours with your frineds.

Mindless fun worthy of getting the squad back together
World War Z is a chaotic, tense and fun co-op shooter
A surprisingly deep and fun co-op shooter, World War Z proves that killing hordes of zombies is still fun, years after the genre hit its peak.
World War Z has no challenge, or tensions, or conflict; and a game with a horror setting but nothing horrifying is just horrifyingly boring. It's fine on a technical basis, though.
Bland and mostly harmless, World War Z is another co-op zombie shooter that you could play.
At first glance, there was little promise here. A movie tie-in to a pretty bad movie, so long after it, and clearly taking more than inspiration from another existing popular franchise? Yet, what at first seems like just another shallow Left 4 Dead clone reveals itself to be so much more, it feels more a true successor to its inspiration, definitely one to pick up for groups of friends looking for a new game to enjoy together, even more so for the Left 4 Dead fans out there. If the stability issues can be resolved, this is going to superb and needs to be on more people's radar.
World War Z is unrefined and rough around the edges, but it makes up for this with satisfying co-operative action that fills your screen with hundreds of enemies for you to kill.
A brilliant spin off of a amazing movie. Teamwork, cooperation and zombies!
Though flawed and missing a few crucial quality of life updates, World War Z does indeed scratch that itch that folks who were looking for a Left 4 Dead-style game. Chalk full of exciting and memorable moments, World War Z for the most part has successfully blended action-packed goodness with that panic-ridden anxiety of being overwhelmed with (literally) hundreds of zombies. With a few user updates and more variety in missions, World War Z could be a mainstay cooperative shooter that is here to stay.
World War Z is a fun and thrilling zombie killing experience that should leave fans of the Left 4 Dead series satisfied.
Not so cool as Brad Pitt in the movie, but still good choice in cooperation against massses of infected.

World War Z is a solid co-operative shooter that offers fans of the genre a faster paced alternative.
While the glitches and bugs aren’t game-breaking and don’t really affect the entire experience, the only gripe I have with the game is how repetitive the objectives are in its campaign mode. In the end, World War Z is still a great spiritual successor of Left 4 Dead and it packs a lot of fun when you play it with your friends.
World War Z has a great gameplay hook, but it unfortunately lacks the variety needed to keep it engaging past the first few hours.
