Brilliant game overall, and though I like many things about this digital version such as the zombies voice and the overall simplicity, there are just too many problems to make it worth playing. I even paid for the upgraded version and my achievements are still not unlocking as they should be. Ways to make this more enjoyable would be getting the achievements working (and maybe even add more achievements to give the game some longevity, adding additional statistics to log and track, letting us have more control over the dice (forces a reroll when you don’t score brains which I don't see anywhere in the original rule book), perhaps different zombie skins to play against, and explain somewhere what the Game Center nickname is, how it effects the game, and make it so that it remembers your selection so that you don’t have to reselect it every time. I’m not too savvy with modern tech so I’m sure some of the fault here lies on me, but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement to make it more user friendly and less clunky. Overall, I think this is a really amazing game and I hope it gets the love and attention it deserves. Meanwhile, I will be feasting on the brains from my hardcopy of the game and checking back here for updates. Please don’t overlook the potential of this digital version of a masterpiece dice game!!!

UPDATE: When I updated my iPhone to IOS 5.1, somehow Zombie Dice got re-sync'd to my phone even though I had deleted it. Since this has happened, while the AI is still often very cheap, I have been able to win about 20 or so games. I'm not sure if something changed when it was re-installed, or if I was just super unluckly when I first installed Zombie Dice, but it is actually pretty fun now. I originally gave it 1 star, and would give it 5 stars now, except for the fact that the AI is still pretty unfair sometimes, so 4 stars it is.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Zomebie Dice is a fun game. This iPhone version is not. As others have said, the computer AI is very cheap and cheats in every game. I played quite a few games, and I got very few brians and a lot of shotguns, while in every game the computer AI got mostly brains. In one game, I was up 10 to 2 after a relatively long game, and I got nothing but shotguns and feet from that point on, while the computer player got, you guessed it, 11 brains in one turn. In another game, I actually got to 13 brains and thought I might finally win seeing as the computer rolled 2 shotguns and was only at 7 brains on the very last turn of the game. With those 2 shotguns, the computer didn't roll any more shotguns and rolled 7 brains, finishing the game and beating me 14 to 13.I suspect that the programmers made the CPU this way to try to get people to buy the full version to play with friends, but all they did was turn me off from even wanting this on my iPhone, much less wanting to pay for the full app. This one has been deleted.

There are 2 expansions… Are they ever going to be added into this digital game?I’d play a LOT more if I could see total games played, total won, total lost, win%, loss%, avg score One rule change in this game would make it more strategic; let us CHOOSE which dice to add to the 3 we get to roll. Ex; start game, I might want to CHOOSE 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green. I roll red shotgun, feet for the other yellow and green. I re-roll those 2 dice AND a third that I get to CHOOSE!! (This is how we play the yphysical game). This game should let us choose when appropriate... this would eliminate some RANDOMNESS in this game. Btw, I payed the $.99 and it lets me add more ai players but so far I’ve seen a whole 2 additional animations. Thats kinda LAME. AT LEAST add different graphic-mugshot faces for the different zombie opoonents (ai) that we play against. And GameCenter achievements are registering... the game sees my nickname but the achievements are not happening (i know i’ve achieved them but GC icon does not enable). There can be soooooo much more to this game. As it is, its too random, too basic, not enough stats... what a shame for a digital game.

I only have the free version, and I've only played 12 games, but in those 12 times I've lost all but 2 of the matches -- and those losses weren't close by any means. I realize that dice results are randomized (like in the real world), such that one could really have such bad luck to consistently roll poorly, but when I'm not touching the physical dice myself, it feels like there's more at work than simply the arbitrary nature of dice themselves :-/.The zombie players seemed to always run by the rule of "roll until you get two shotgun blasts", and that worked well; not only did they usually get the small gains (1-3 brains), but they also got the huge gains (5-8 brains) too often. I, on the other hand, tried to also observe the "roll until you get two shotgun blasts" rule and suffered for it. More times than not, I would have a single shotgun blast, think that it's safe to roll again and immediately get 2 more blasts. And then, of course, there were the lovely times of rolling well to start with 2 or 3 brains and then immediately getting a roll with 3 blasts. Now, in all fairness, if I would sit down and play many more games perhaps the win/loss ratio would begin to even out, but this heavily skewed beginning leaves me completely disinclined to attempt that stretch goal. This is the first time I've encountered an iOS game where I even began to consider the possibility of weighted dice … and consequently I probably won't be picking it up again :-(.
