Seven zombie-infested MMOs for the survivalist in you (Massively)
DayZ will feel similar to these other zombie games because there are only so many ways to use the brown and gray color scheme. Luckily the mod also features a lot of graphical bells and whistles and looks great. If you try and swim past zombies (as I did early on), you'll suffer from hypothermia and will be subject to a blurring screen and shaking avatar. The mod is full of clever effects. You can break bones, become hungry, or die of dehydration. You can also team up with friends to salvage materials to build vehicles.
You'll run into many of the same trollish gamer types, but once you find a great server, you get to know many of the personalities. Many of them even prove to be helpful, probably due to the fact that the longer-running servers have figured out how hard it is to run a server that has to be constantly policed. DayZ is great for jump-in sessions, trying to locate some weapons and goods, and becoming part of smaller communities. The game does have a bit of a learning curve, especially concerning the controls, however, and the sheer number of variations in server types might leave you confused at first.
