Product Description
Stubbs The Zombie lets you become a man whose luck was so bad, dying was the best thing that everhappened to him. In 1933, Edward Stubblefield was a traveling salesman, trying to survive the Great Depression, when he was murdered&buried in a field in Pennsylvania. Fast forward to 1959, when billionaire playboy Andrew Monday builds his own ultramodern city - Punchbowl, where you can "drink your fill of the future". Unfortunately, he built it on the grave of "Stubbs", bringing him back as a angry zombie. Stubbs was a loser all his life, and being a zombie gives him power he never had before. He decides to keep eating brains until the city is his -- unless Andrew Monday can stop him.

 Man this Game is a hoot. September 17, 2007

This is not a game kids should play.
I must say, Bud the Chud was one of the funniest Zombie Comedies ever produced for the cinema, and that is why I bought this game.
The idea that a zombie would still be out running around and trying to run things. Stubbs is nuts.
 A great choise... June 15, 2007

This game is very fun. It's however to short. Eating breains is a very fun stuff (at least on this ame :). It is the first game were I hear about YOU being a zombie! Sounds ridiculous, but it's very fun. The system reqirements are a little big to high, but for this days it is OK.
Stubbs the Zombie... a GREAT game. (see Gamespot.com 7.7 Good)
I say: 8.0 Great :)
Fun, but not for children June 11, 2007

Original gameplay, amusing story, and lots and lots of zombies... Do your eally need anything else?
This isn't a deep game. Nor is it meant to play with your children. The violence is over the top and there's a fair amont of crude dialog. But the atmosphere, retro-future, seems perfect for a zombie story and there are times when the jokes make me laugh out loud. You shamble, eat people's brains, throw "gut grenades" and possess people with your detachable hand. If it's too hard or too easy, you can ajust the difficulty accordingly, increasing or decreasing the effectiveness of your human opponents. Mostly, I play it for the humor and the silly zombie schtick, things that could possibly get old after enough hours of game play. But I've also found that as you move through the game there are enough variences and challenges in the game play to keep me shuffling forward.
The game plays like a console game, one save point, automatic saves at various checkpoints, and no manual saves without exiting the game, but there are plenty of checkpoints and I haven't really been frustrated by scheme yet, though there was a level I had to restart because the save point came at a particularly bad time.
All in all, it was probably not worth the ~$50 a new game usually costs, but at $15 or less, it's a definite bargain for your own personal zombie hoard.
 It's an OK game, but just plain ridiculous when it comes to errors. May 22, 2007

Well, I've had Stubbs for over a year now, and just tonight, I popped it in and played it. First off, I liked it. The sound, graphics, and AI is memorable, but 10 minutes later I decided to quit, due to the fact it got boring after a while, same old "rip this apart, form the zombie horde, die over and over", you get the picture.
Well, I went to play it again, and then the errors start. I first get a message when I click the "Play" button at the menu that the game has encountered an error and needs to close. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, patches, cracks, even a couple of files for download off of the Internet. Finally, I consulted Aspyr, an experience I shall not soon forget due to their inept workers.
I received the reply about, oh, 20 minutes ago of,
"I need to know more about your computer. I advise installing the latest drivers and updating some stuff on your computer."
That's an exact copy and paste from what he said. I gave him, however, full technical documents via the DXDIAG command in RUN. How much more info do you want, buddy? Would you like me to rip my computer apart and snap photos of it then upload them to you? My drivers are completely updated. What doesn't make any sense is that I played it for the first 10 minutes with no problems at all, then it doesn't work? I didn't modify anything at all, either. I just quit via the EXIT button. My request for answers was changed to "Resolved". The problem is not resolved. It would seem that they don't know what to do and so they stop trying to help. One thing is certain, I will not be purchasing another item from Aspyr until the day they are run out of the business.
From what I played, it's not a bad game, but it gets old after a short time. Also, don't expect any help if you have a problem. Aspyr's tech support, as you have hopefully read, is about as helpful as asking a blind man to read a manual to you. They will stop trying before they even begin. Stubbs had potential, but it's just too faulty.

This game doesn't necessarily have the best level design, or insane graphics or anything, but I don't care. Every once in a while a game comes out and it's just ROCKET JOCKEY and what the hell can you do but let it have its way with you. I love the concept and the mechanic. I love this game, it is crack.
You stagger around and bite people's skulls and eat their brains! Which makes them zombies! Under your control! THEN YOU ATTACK COPS AND MAKE THEM ZOMBIES TOO!!! And hillbillies! AND THE ARMY!! You can fart and knock people out in a 15-foot radius! You can fart people right out of cars and tanks!! Then eat their brains while they're staggering! You can rip out your guts and throw them and they blow up like remotely-tripped grenades! You can bowl with your head and knock the crap out of dudes and then make the head explode and KILL EVERYONE! YOU CAN POSSESS PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM SHOOT EACH OTHER! WITH BAZOOKAS!! YOU CAN EVEN POSSESS A COUPLE DUDES WITH JET-PACKS!!!
I'm frothing. OK, time to be serious now...
Like I said, if only DOOM8 or Metal BladeGuns: Kill All The Insane Telekinetic Convicts In The Incredibly-Rendered-But-Disgusting Prison With Your Bare Hands is your only cup of tea, then this isn't the game for you. It's not the latest graphics card/render engine advertisement that also happens to be a 1st-person shooter (don't get me wrong, I love those games). This is a *game*, first and foremost. So if you dig stuff where the point isn't to perfectly render sweat while ragdolling your frag victims with realtime physics as they break into realistic bone fragments and their body chunks become inseperable from the fully ablative environment, you should look into this.
This is for us oddballs out there who love a great sense of humor backing up FUN GAMEPLAY...
Do you think Rocket Jockey was just way too ahead of its time and unleashed on the world far too early to be understood as the complete work of genius it was? Did you play all the way through No One Lives Forever 2 more than once because, damn it, sometimes this game is as fun as HitMan and it's funny to boot? Did you giggle endlessly as you used the LandShark Gun and that awesome glider pack in Armed And Dangerous? Do you long for another Thief game (but not T3 haha - OK wait I'LL BUY ANOTHER T3 GAME IF THAT'S ALL YOU'LL MAKE, SPECTOR, just please give me another Thief game) because the gameplay was just so unique and addictive? You know who you are.
Hell, do you just like zombies? That alone is enough to make this sucker worth it.
I got this game and a Belkin Nostromo n52 thingamabob controller I found for like $6 after rebate and the two together nearly killed me dead. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to uninstall this sucker and get my life back it was so damn fun. I miss it terribly but won't dare reinstall it. Damn, I wish I'd had this controller thing back when I was a Thief junky.
Holy crap, buy the game, it's like 16 bucks or something. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
