The Last Stand 2!

The Last Stand 2 is the highest rated flash on Newgrounds currently, and is one of the best games on the site in many peoples opinion. I played it many times over, and it has been complicated on my laptop.

First thing: Controls. The controls on the game are simple enough with a up down left and right mechanic using the W,S,A,D keys or arrow keys. Though when moving at certain points you can become stuck and not move at all, it works fairly well. Next is shooting. With a simple reticle and left clicking maneuver you can defeat the leagues of enemies beating you to death with you're own legs, but there's still some problems. When standing at the bottom of the screen and shooting up you can create largely effective tactics and cover all your bases, but vise-versa, it's a disaster. As famous with the first game, by shooting in the down direction, you can barely hit anything a milimeter below you.

#2: Plot. With a plot going straight of the first ones ending, you've crashed and have to make it to Union City in 40 days. You must survive and run to Union in the allotment of time, or you will fail. *Note* During the game if you die, if you press RETRY? button in 2 seconds of when it appears, you will try again with all your friends and their weapons.*

Graphics: The graphics in the game are amazing, highly detailed and run fast on low computers and laptops. There are thousands of models for zombies which all are individually created and beautifully designed. The backgrounds are highly detailed also, having such simple but meaningful objects like grimy dressers or scaved wood holding back the blood and dirt covered behemoths.
