Lacks windowed mode and FK all way to set it in the config.

Tried to fullscreen into both my my monitors, failed miserably and then crashed when I opened the Video Options menu. Changing the prefs file apparently does nothing.

This game runs like arse on my 560Tis in 1080 on high.. how?
Several minor graphical glitches.
The voice work is as bad as most indie games.
For a small team this impressive work.
J-
That they have voices at all is pretty impressive
Ps2 style graphics aren’t the greatest, but they work
Bit of the herky jerks
P-
Sweet mother of the uncanny valley, Batman!

Control
V-
Nothing new here. Same controls I’ve come to expect from any zombie golf stimulation.
Wireless gerbil input must be set stupid high since I didn’t need to readjust.
J-
Gotta agree with P-Man, the mouse sensitivity is messed
P-
Mouse sensitivity is WAY TOO DAMN HIGH! even on the lowest setting.
Total-
FUN
V-
If fun =’s ridiculous it’s the bees knees. The golf physics are shite but hey, zombies.
J-
Its a golf game, a genre which I am not particularly fond of
The ridiculous dialogue is worth a laugh, as is the premise
P-
I wouldn’t have minded the extreme golfiness of the game, if the controls and physics were a bit more polished.
As it stands… The Curse of the Uncanny Valley falls just short of par.

Verdict –
