Samurai Zombie Nation Review

Talk about a bait-and-switch! I got suckered in by the coolest game title ever, only to find that it has nothing to do with samurai OR zombies. Instead it involves the epic struggle between a forty-foot floating head and a greased-up undead Sean Connery. I could not make this up.

I think Namakubi is shooting his own eyes and lower mandible at the enemies. I can't tell if that is awesome or just gross.

Beli

Good Video reviews and sort of funny too

Pho

Wait... the ending song... they used it in Left 4 Dead 2!

I'm going to go nerd out in the corner over there.

Watch your language young man.

Namakubi in Japanese literally means 'severed head', and according to Wikipedia, the Japanese version was originally about 'tengu', a figure from Japanese folklore. Suddenly, the oddness makes sense.

Your Sean Connery is awesome!

Hey noah, listen if someone was able to do a remake of this game, but made it more likely to the plotline than the gameplay would you play it

I honestly think the story was completely changed for the US.

I feel that the zombies are actually just the US Military. Think of it like that and realize what really is going on.

Being teabagged to death by a battleaxe wielding muscular naked zombie Sean Connery... that's one of the more original ways to die in a videogame.

Hail Satan

I wish i was a severed head that can spit horrible flemy death at people.

i like you

Without a doubt one of my favourite Spoony videos ever. Naked Zombie Sean Connery is wrong on SO many levels, it's hilarious!

Kudos for using Thriller and Re: Your Brains, and making the Tenacious D reference!

noah

your connery does suck

Zack Dolan

so let me get this straight...the severed head of what must apparently be a 100 foot tall samurai flies to the US to save us from an evil alien that looks like an enormous naked sean connery and his weapons and vehicle trained zombie army and his ace in the hole, a possessed medusa lady libery...by shooting out what appear to be an endless cache of flying eyeballs and maybe those chattering joke teeth the joker was so fond of and DESTROYING EVERY SQUARE INCH OF EVERY BUILDING, MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN THE COUNTRY?!!!???

double you...tee...eff....?

from the severed samurai head vs the evil statue of liberty thing alone i have to assume this has got to be one of those games that meant something totally different in japan that had it's "story" altered for release in the states. also probably why that magic sword he came to get is probably never mentioned again. in japan it was probably called "fuck those stupid yankee shits" or "you think the a-bomb is bad, try a flying giant samurai head you filthy gaijin dogs"

or maybe just something simpler like "fuck you america" we may never know...

"you're the man now, dawg" & "fuck you that's for zardoz" made me laugh so hard i almost shot my eyeballs out like that samurai head dude...and considering i've been reading/ watching your reviews most of the day today, that's really saying something. hahahaha

I only found this yesterday but there is audio commentary for this but no link for some reason. Here it is for others that are unaware of it: http://blip.tv/file/2164361

Hahaha! I just watched this, and I didn't realise, I actually played this.

It was when I use to bring my Asus EEE PC to school and play it. I showed it to my friend and we were confused as fuck.This game is annoying as balls, although I had a lot of fun whilst I thought I was tripping balls.

lol

cyberhoodlum

I don't think those are mind bullets... that samurai head is shooting eyeballs out of his eye sockets!

Zombie Sean Connery isn't naked he wears a thong.

Kahrooch

Naked Zombie Sean Connery!!! The Classic Spoony

Sigma

I actually can't believe it. I am going to school to learn how to make games and now know for a fact I will never be insane enough to make a game anywhere near this weird.

This will however not stop me from trying. Thanks for raising the bar.

I was laughing so hard my nose started bleeding

T. Poe

Your initial reaction to the game was perhaps one of the most hilarious moments in all your videos. The very living image of 'WTF?!'. XD

DragonL0rd132

Dude, those aren't psychic bursts, they're EYEBALLS!

It's shooting a continuous supply of eyeballs at the zombies! It's squinting to shoot frikkin' eyeballs in a perfectly straight line!
And they're exploding upon impact!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Atman
