What is Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse?

In this third-person action game set in retro-futuristic Punchbowl, Pennsylvania, you play Stubbs, a zombie who returns to Maggie and disrupts the city. You eat brains to replenish bodily attacks, possess residents with a severed hand, and turn enemies into undead allies.

For you if...

  • +you like turning enemies into a zombie horde
  • +you enjoy cartoony violence and offbeat humor
  • +you want local split-screen co-op with a friend

Not for you if...

  • you need online co-op instead of couch co-op
  • you want combat that stays varied throughout the game
  • you prefer uninterrupted action without mandatory minigames
