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

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.

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 –
