The Last Stand 2

5 Levels of fucking blowing off heads, ripping off legs and planting land mines; you've got yourself The Last Stand 2. Now, this is the kind of flash game I want to play. None of this typing words to win or moving your mouse over Doeos bullshit. THIS is actually fun and THIS is what I'll be reviewing.



You have 40 day's to kick some ass and make it to Union city. In the mean time, you'll be going from town to town gathering supplies and finding weapons/items. The challange comes with the types of zombies. Some zombies are dressed with bullet proof vests and a helmet, some are fat as shit, and others run across the screen at you. Oh ya, there are also zombie dogs. With all of this charging at you, there's no time to fuck around.
Along the way, you'll find survivors that can be equpied with weapons you've found. Careful, if a zombie has a weapon and gets to close, he'll take your survivor right the fuck out. One thing you'll notice while playing is that the accuracy can be pretty shitty. You might have the crosshair right on someones head, but you'll end up hitting someone else's leg way behind him, or not hitting him at all! When you're taking on some heat and this happens 2-3 times in a row, you're ready to tell TLS to fuck right off and insert your keyboard into the wall. Although this happens a lot, the games so fun you're going to keep on playing.

The visuals are great. There's blood everywhere, limbs all over the ground. C'mon, you shoot holes into their heads! The sound effects and music keep you're eyes glued to the screen. The zombies make some gnarling sounds while running at you, something like that sorta grabs your attention. The selection of weapons is good and the traps add some strategic gameplay.


You'll most likely breeze through the stages, up until Jonestown. This is the final stage and it packs some serious shit. You could save up on supplies to simply pass right through this town, but you're not a pussy, you've got some serious flash skill. Saving up traps really doesn't make a difference, you could use them all up the first level and watch the waves of zombies keep coming. The amount of shit that comes your way is, well, a lot of shit. If your survivors are dying and you're barely getting through to the next day, get the fuck out of there and get your Kongregate badge.

This is the kind of game you'd find yourself playing even if it didn't come with pixel rewards. Great game.
