Introducing Dead n’ Furious: Zombie action on the DS

April 28th, 2007 by Kris

European publishers Virgin Play announced today that they are bringing an on-rails zombie shooter to the Nintendo DS called Dead n’ Furious. The game places you in the shoes of zombie-hunter Rob Steiner, whose feet literally move you around each level while you pick off the undead with your dead-aim stylus skills (careful not to hit the not-yet-undead!). If the screenshots below bring back memories of light-gun shooting in the arcade — albeit on a small scale — that is probably a good thing; this is undoubtedly the kind of feel the developers are aiming for. According to the makers of the game, players will not be entirely constrained to a single route through each level. Some levels will apparently feature multiple paths and endings. Cooperative multiplayer over local wi-fi will also be included when the game ships later this year.
