I think everyone who has the game by now knows which achievements are available. We need more tips. One tip for those still trying to carjack the inmate humvee with the machine gun. When they're chasing after you clear a spot around a tree of any zombies and stay behind that tree. The truck will swerve towards you and most of the time crash into it. This'll give you some time to take a shotgun into the face of the gunner. Once that happens its just repeat the tactic again and take out the driver and passenger. I've only gotten as far as taking out the gunner and the passenger. But I've seen others do this tactic and win out.

I use the Uzi to take out the gunner & then the passanger & driver are pretty easy to handle after the gunner is gone. You can take the big gun off the back of the humvee & have some serious fun with that . If you have some time to kill after they are dead you can take their humvee & take a zombie killing ride around the area . Mucho fun !!

I havent even gone past much of the game outside of the cultists. I've just been happy just restarting the game over and over to gain levels. I probably won't even start on trying to finish the case missions until I've hit level 40 or so.

I probably won't even start on trying to finish the case missions until I've hit level 40 or so. I've finished the game & gotten the "A" ending & unlocked "Overtime" mode & then beat "Overtime" mode to unlock "Infinite" mode . I finished my first go round with a level of 35. I'm working on my second go round now . If you run into any problems & I can lend a hand just let me know .

I'm bomb hunting right now. Almost completed it. But my motorcycle broke down and I can't find any more vehicles. Almost took care of Carlos, though. Wished I could hijack that truck of his.

I've finished the game level 44 with a perfect A ending. Here are 4 tips that are extremely important: #1: When you are given the scoop about the ride going crazy, follow it up. It does 2 things for you. First, it unlocks a secret passage between Wonderland and the Plaza making most escort mission possible without having to deal with the convicts (who respawn). Second and more importantly, it gives you access to 2 equipable (ie: you won't drop them) chainsaws. With them, almost all of the other boss battles become a walk in the park. #2: Go in to the parking garage (the entrance is between the North mall and the foodcourt outside) and find the maintenance key early on. This will allow you to skirt various sections and allow easy stacking of chainsaws. Having it also makes the bomb mission super simple. Btw: There is another working truck in the parking garage. Go down the ramp and turn left. Follow the road and you will find 2 trucks, one working, one not. #3: Directly accross the way from the entrance to the warehouse is a bookstore with a book on photography. Get it and keep it around. When it's in your inventory, icons appear about the zombies heads and it make picking out zombies with queens much easier. #4: You can quickly stack various items by causing a load and immediately reentering. For example, anytime you are waiting up on the office for a scoop to start, stack sledghammers by going in to the warehouse, getting one, exiting, enter, etc. You can also stack chainsaws really quickly once you get the maintenance key. Best way to kill the convicts... the sniper rifle. takes 9 shots total (3 per). Best way to deal with the cultists... don't. After about 3 hours (in game) of them being around you will get a scope regarding their leader. Kill him (with chainsaws... 3 hits) and they never show up again. If they start to corner you, hit a zone barrier (ie: force a load). If you have other questions, ask.

the mini chainsaw that you get when you finish off adam is by far the best boss killing weapon and it also EASILY takes care of the special forces also use the sniper to shoot the pilot or the blades of the helicopter to take it down easily

[Bunker65]

Most of the weapons you get after defeating the Psychopath's are pretty much "ass kickers". The mini chainsaws being the best but don't discount the meat cleaver you get from defeating Larry, the sword you get from defeating Sean or my personal favorite (after the chainsaws), the machete you get from defeating Cliff. If you have these in your arsenal you'll pretty much be set for anything .

Well, I finally was able to get through solving the first case file and now just have to wait for 6am to arrive for the next one. Is it just me or does the game just get reall creepy once 7am hits and the mall lights are turned off.

Is it just me or does the game just get reall creepy once 7am hits and the mall lights are turned off. I hate when the lights go out in the mall . Makes it that much more difficult to make your way through the mall. Those damn zombies like to hide in dark corners & you can't see them until they are on you like white on rice . Wait till later in the game when you have to take on the Special Force guys in a dark mall .

Wait till later in the game when you have to take on the Special Force guys in a dark mall . right across from the warehouse there is a toy store with a light saber that glows red it will illuminate the area a little.
