Infected is a blood soaked, fast paced PSP game with zombies and guns. This game is based on a virus which is infecting the entire population of New York City just two weeks before Christmas, and turning them into aggressive mutated zombies. The player assumes the role of Officer Stevens, a rookie cop who manages to survive this virus attack because of a rare quality in his blood. Dr. Schaeffer, who is a doctor/scientist, helps him in understanding how to use his rare and immune blood to destroy the malformed savages. You can say that the ultimate goal is quite clear: kill zombies.
The most interesting part of the game is that the player has to use his blood to kill these zombies, because Stevens’ blood has a unique explosive effect whenever it comes in contact with the infected. There is a biochemical gun hooked on to the players left arm, which has to be used for destroying the zombies, after they are first softened up by bullets and other in game weapons. The player can also get bonus points by chaining the zombies and then killing them together with the viral gun.
Once this game starts it let the player rest for a second, because the player is either busy killing zombies or protecting innocent people. As the player progresses through the levels, the number of enemies also keeps on increasing. The game is very impressive graphically, with loads of color, most of it red blood to go along with the horror tinged black humor.
Another important aspect of the game is its multiplayer mode. The other players of the game in this mode get infected by the character or the winning player. There are two ways to clean up this infection, firstly the player will have travel back at each level and destroy each character, or secondly by passing the infection onto three other players. The second option is of course better, because it allows the player to spread his virus over to the other players.
Infected is a great zombie game with a very unique twist. Not only is the action fast and furious, but the concept is incredibly engaging. While the Nintendo DS has plenty of zombie games, such as Teenage Zombies, Infected is the only zombie game available for the PSP. And if the single player missions get boring, you have the option of infecting other players online which is sadistically satisfying and enough for recommending this game on that fact alone.
