The shortened version simply didn’t do the book justice: you just have to listen to the whole chilling saga from start to finish. Previously available as an abridged audiobook, here for the first time is the complete text, brilliantly and compellingly performed by a full and stellar cast (Chris Ragland, Rupert Farley, Nigel Pilkington, Jennifer Woodward, David Thorpe, Adam Simms, Robert Slade, Kris Dyer, Steve Hodson, Avita Jay, Eric Meyers, Davis Brooks, Beth Chalmers, Jeff Harding, John Chancer, David Monteath, and Paul Herzberg). World War Z is the follow-up to Max Brooks’ outstanding book, The Zombie Survival Guide. No, seriously, Zs do seem to be the flavour de nos jours: on television, in comics, movies, books, politics. It can’t have escaped your notice that there are an awful lot of zombies about at the moment.

The gameplay, while often repetitive in its base building missions, has some truly outstanding squad ones with my favourite being The Fox and the Hound. While this does have some credibility, it doesn’t quite ring true for me. The obvious reason for this seems simple - Red Alert 2’s gameplay is terrible but it has a great story. I realised as I played through the game though that I was far more concerned and feeling rewarded by the next silly cutscene rather than anything intrinsic to the gameplay experience. I’m generally all about the ‘moment to moment’ gameplay and how it feels, far above ‘petty’ concerns like aesthetics, characters or music. Red Alert 2 (RA2), on the other hand, does this, set to Hell March 2, and, frankly, is all the better for it.Īs I played through RA2 for our podcast I couldn’t stop thinking about the story. |
