It is present day; there has been a large explosion in several locations across the country with a steady green mist sneaking out of craters left by the explosions. Despite the green mist flowing from craters in the ground everything was still and calm like a normal day. Many of these craters were in several cities that were somewhat heavily populated with people.

We start our adventure on the coasts of California with Jack Batton a former super secret military trained expert that has fallen on hard times. Jack has been living the last two years on the streets with barely any food and even less money. While sitting on a bench, almost right on the beach, looking out at the sea wondering how to get back on top of his decaying life he was awoken from thought by a loud explosion. He saw a building start to burn on fire with a green mist starting to flow from the fire. There were multiple explosions in this building. Many people had gathered near by to the building to see the extravaganza. As usual, the cops showed up but late to the event. The police tried to create a barricade for people’s safety, which pretty much did not really work. While the police were attending to the explosion gawkers Jack notice a couple of people coming from the now engulfed building a couple of them on fire but the people were not screaming bloody murder like somebody would be if they were on fire.

Jack watching the people coming out of the fiery building did not like what was he was seeing and was in disbelief at the same time. Jack while taking a second and third look at these people noticed they did not look right. Just something about them was not right other than the obvious that they were on fire. The people coming from the building were limping, slinking towards the police line. Something in Jack’s head clicked creating a thought. Jack shook his head thinking it cannot be. My god it cannot be.

One of the fiery people was slinking towards one of the cops and with a loud but low moan the person on fire leaped towards the cop with hands out and mouth open. The fiery person took a large bite out of the cops shoulder ripping away the flesh. People were screaming and running from the scene. Jack jumped back Oh S—t it is a goddamn zombie!

Jack being a military thinking person did what was most logical he looked for some type of weapon. Jack found a golf club and a baseball bat at a local store near the beach. Jack just took it from the store. The storeowner yelled hey. Jack backed out of the store. The storeowner ran after Jack yelling, hey bring that back you thief. While doing this, the storeowner did not notice that the zombies were near to him and there were now more of them, as it seems the green mist was now moving from the explosion. The storeowner was speared by one of the zombies, which started ripping away at the storeowner while the storeowner screamed like a girl.

Holy hell these zombies are aggressive said Jack out loud. One of the zombies ran towards Jack. Jack doing what he did best took the bat he just stole and swung for the fences on the zombie first at the chest and then towards the head that came directly off into the air. Green liquid shot out of the zombie and the zombie fell to the ground with a thud with green liquid pouring out.

Well that is how the story starts anyhow. Yes, this is a game idea unbelievably. The purpose of the game really is to destroy all zombies with weapons you can easily pickup in the world ala Dead Rising. So there is really an unlimited amount of weapons but guns are the cream of the crop and should be used as much as possible. This is a game where there are zombies coming after you and you must clear through waves of zombies before reaching the next area. The levels would be large so your stuck in a tiny area the levels are actually open levels so you could move out towards the ocean or more inner city.

Besides weapons, you can kick, punch (watch the mouth), grab and even throw zombies. The traditional rules apply if a civilian is attacked or bitten they become zombies this is how the game progresses where more and more zombies are after you.

There would several levels in this game and they reach across the country. The game obviously starts from California moving to Las Vegas through Arizona where a big portion of the state has been turned into a giant western adventure park and then up to the northern border near Canada then out to New York City, towards the Carolinas down to the eventual end of the game in the southern parts of Florida.

The controls of the game are focused on using the Wii motion controls but on how the story is described so far, it would need a very powerful game system to run the game. Pretty much the game is either you swinging the remote to create a hitting motion for bats, golf clubs, tire irons, etc or using the wiimote as a gun ala First Person Shooter. In Arizona the game switches over to a FPS Rails mode where your walking down the middle of town with zombies coming out of store windows, alleys, falling off roofs, etc. Many of the zombies in Arizona are people that work for the Arizona Western History Preserve and Fun Park. So you would expect zombie cowboys and zombies where cowboy hats with decaying faces, bodies, etc.

Other levels like near the Canadian Border and down in the South would have you walking or running through the woods, brush, and swamp lands. In addition, there will be a couple levels with Zombies in the snow. I do not think there has been a game yet where there have been zombies in the snow other than a couple Resident Evil’s. What I can see in my mind is up near the Canadian border you would have trees and snow mixed together with zombies coming up through the snow or running up to the player.

As for what type of enemies there will be in the game to put it bluntly Zombies but there are a couple of bosses that the gamer would run across mostly near or at the end of each level. The game is pretty much leveling or smacking zombies until they do not move. There will be no regenerating of zombies in this game, as there will be plenty of zombies to play with.

To be honest the game is completely simple. If you are wondering how the explosions and the green mist plays into the story. Well that is for you to find out if this game would be created but there is a hint - it deals with comets and a hurricane.
