You can buy your zombie horde a number of upgrades, but these are all locked behind a system of challenges, and unlock in a very specific order, leaving out any customization options unfortunately. However, it is very satisfying when you finally get to do that. While a trash bin is opened by just two, you will need a lot more to overturn a bus, a tank or even an airplane. Of course, you get some powerups from time to time in order to spice up the action and there are other reasons for keeping a large team, for example you will encounter standing vehicles that can be overturned to get their occupants out, but you will need a certain number of zombies to bump into that vehicle simultaneously. It's true that during your never ending romp through traffic, minefields and unstable terrain not everyone is going to make it, but the herd mentality makes it irrelevant who draws the short stick as long as at least one brain dead guy keeps on running. Honestly, would you rather scream your lungs out on a hanging highway, terrified of the carnage around you, or join the party? I think the choice is easy. By turning a terrified civilian into an ecstatic running zombie you're making the guy a favor. This is accomplished by chomping on a prospect's neck to add him or her to the ranks. The best thing to do in order to preserve your existence is to "recruit" new blood. The goal in Zombie Tsunami is a rather humanitarian one.
If zombies are usually reason to fire a host of weaponry, in Zombie Tsunami you play as the bad guys as you're literally controlling a horde of green hominids running through a classic American backdrop. As a matter of fact, you could easily use stock footage of zombies bursting into a mall on Black Friday for your average amateur horror flick. Could it be that zombies are the most politically correct euphemism for the brain-dead of today's society? Could be. The never ending fascination with hordes of (usually) dead humans with a heavy case of rotten flesh never ceases to intrigue me.
