MemberI've been playing this non-stop over the weekend: This is an awesome game - very addictive! :-)
I love the atmosphere created by the fabulous artwork and background music. The controls work well too. The game has a slow, thoughtful pace - which makes a change from button mashing.
I'm getting mostly silver medals on the levels with the very occasional gold (no platinum yet). The game is very accessible but tricky to master. While there is definitely some tactics & thinking involved, there is also an equal amount of luck required as well, due to the random nature of the zombie AI.
Overall, it's kind of like the love child of Left 4 Dead and Sneezies :-)

MemberIt is indeed addictive. In essentially one long session, I platinum'd all but the 10 levels I haven't yet played. I still think Ace Armstrong is LJ's best work, but this is truly obscene in how it makes you want to keep going. Doesn't the UK have something called "ASBO" against things of this nature?
Some thoughts:
- I restarted the game after the first few levels because I discovered that I was misinterpreting the upgrade menu. I thought that the "Next" window was showing what was to be added, not the full state after addition; namely, I was confused when the second gun upgrade did not add a second round of ammo like it seemed to be saying. Also, it would be a lot easier to read that screen if the difference between current and next were highlighted, rather than requiring a scan of the entire set of text.
- When I did the above-mentioned restart, the game crashed my PSP. It was fine after rebooting and choosing New Game again, though.
- It's a bit weird that shooting two overlapping objects (zombies or explosive tanks) will hit the one in the back rather than the one in the front.

Glad you're enjoying it Volcane!
I've been on hols this week but it's been nice to see lots of people enjoying the game, and the Eurogamer review was a real plus. There's another good review on pushsquare.com
Maybe an iOS or Android version would work, or a pimped PS3 version?
:)

An (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) 'ASBO'!?... I have one of those for killin' zombies... the judge said to me that zombies are people too (or at least they used to be).

We'll hopefully get OMG-Z reviewed in OPM UK and Play magazines this coming month too, so I am crossing everything we'll get great scores like those already received from Eurogamer and pushsquare.com (which is probably the best review for anything I've worked on ever!)
When are pspminis.com going to do a review? Do we have to wait for the game to go on general release? ;)

MemberI don't remember exactly, but I think that of the three levels branching from a given level, the uppermost one is unlocked by getting a Bronze, the middle one by getting a Silver, and the lowest one by getting a Gold. By the end of the game, getting Platinums shouldn't be too difficult, incidentally.
Al, what makes the "highest chain" statistic get updated? Mine still says 142, yet I know I've chained together all 170 enemies in one of the final stages before (though, at most, it only displayed on the in-game chain counter as 166). Also, regarding your other-platforms question, I don't know if a touchscreen phone version of this would work so well, with fat fingers being so inaccurate as far as picking a specific target.
thumbbandit, what's "LMOL"? And I meant LJ might get an ASBO for making people into addicts.

Thanks for the review code for OMG-Z, evanac! But I'm afraid we're going to release the review on the 'general release' date for the benefit of the non-Plus subscribers (plus, Plus subscribers don't need a review anyway, they can just download the freebies and try them out themselves). Aside from that, for the past few weeks there were lots of Minis to be reviewed. Expect the review on the 16th or 17th of August.
