As a regular user of the units and knowing people who work on them I was very excited when this was announced.

The modelling of the unit is superb. The general way it looks and feels is great however that's probably the only good thing about it. The sounds aren't realistic one bit and the same applies for the physics. Given that the units themselves are very sluggish on speed until 40mph it didn't feel like I was driving a 442 when it took off.

Interior is South West Trains which isn't correct for the Gat-Ex era and the MLC is......empty bar the 1st class section.

I'd still recommend the unit though simply as it fills the gap and provides a more "full" BML as Gatwick was rather empty without them. A shame about it's shortfalls but generally the unit is ok. If it's not too high on your list I'd wait for a sale and the eventual arrival of an Armstrong Powerhouse soundpack.

Rebellion's offering of Nazi Zombie killing is an immensely satisfying experience that will bring much pleasure to any fan of the undead.

The campaign has 15 missions split up into 3 Chapters with the first two being NZA 1 & 2 respectively. The first two chapters have been updated with better graphics. Playing them is fun even though they show their age. The third chapter is the main attraction of the package and is the best of the 3.

The gore has been fantasticly done and is very enjoyable blowing bits off zombies, especially blowing a zombie in half which I found highly entertaining. X-Ray killcam is as good as ever and adds to the feel that you're actually shooting them.

Gameplay is a mixture from Sniper Elite V2, 3 and both the NZA games. One thing I noticed was that the SMG's feel less powerful, taking me at least two shots to blow off a zombies head compared to one shot from the previous games often resulting in having to resort to the shotgun for a decent chance of survival. Bit of a shame in my eyes as I really enjoyed using SMG's in the aforementioned NZA games. What is a shame is that the cover system has been completley removed which leaves you vunerable to snipers and super elites, but is slightly lessened by the stomp feature which will certainly save your hide!

Hoard mode is a complete blast, highly enjoyable and better when played with friends. Similar to COD's zombie mode with the exception of being more of a challenge rather than just a simple run and gun. A very welcome addition that will provide much entertainment.

The enemies are what I personally feel make this game. The snipers add the challenge of getting them while trying to deal with the other undead. The elites are more dangerous being able to tear apart your team in seconds if not careful, more so with the Chainsaw Elite which proves a challenge and requires thought before taking him on. Skeletons compliment the bog standard zombies being very easy to deal with (a swift kick deals with them!)

In summary, is this game worth it? Hell yes! The experience is better in co-op than solo. Generally a well rounded package that will provide hours of fun. Kudos to Rebellion for their efforts in producing this game.

A decent representation of one of the Western Regions most notable hydraulic locos athough to get the full expierence and the most enjoyment out of it it's highly recommended to acquire the Armstrong Powerhouse PRO Sound Pack as well as Matthew Wilson's reskin pack from DPSimulation for extra varients to get your bang for your buck.

I've had much fun with Fallout NV. Tons of mods avaible make it even better! It does crash from time to time but a very enjoyable game which I highly recommend.
