Developed by Jamezila
Released for XBLIG (11/2008)
Zombie Smashers X4 Guitarpocalypse was listed in the XBLIG marketplace as ZSX4 Guitarpocalypse, a title that doesn't exactly grab one's attention. The XBLIG storefront opened up in November 2008, so this title was among the earliest releases on the platform. The game plays like a poor man's Smash Bros, where up to four players battle it out in 2D on a single-screen arena with multiple platforms. When you are knocked over the edge you lose one of your lives and the last player standing at the end is the winner. There are zombies thrown in the mix, hence the game's title, and every character uses a guitar for a weapon. You have a punch, kick, guitar smash and jump. There's a meter that when filled will allow you to unleash a special move. Every so often a giant digitized cat shows up and shoots lasers out of it eyes at everybody but trust me, it sounds much cooler than it actually is. The graphics are very basic but not terrible, though nowhere near as good as Jamezila's later offerings. Everybody's got to start somewhere. Zombie Smashers X4 Guitarpocalypse shows a lot of promise and this developer would later move on to release some solid titles for XBLA.
Final Verdict: A poor man's Smash Bros, Zombie Smashers X4 Guitarpocalypse is a decent version of that game, but it's very bare bones and lacking in overall replay value.
