Kill zombies with your English! New "English of the Dead" video.

Gothic Girl | April 08, 2008 | Video | DS 
A while ago SEGA announced their newest game: English of the Dead. The aim of the game is fairly simple - Defeat Japanese-speaking zombies by using English.

So what's the game like? Well, here's a clip ...


While I still plan on one day being able to speak and read Japanese fluently, there are times when I am grateful that I can't. This is one of those times. This is an extended trailer for Sega's English Of The Dead for the Nintendo DS, which combines the joy of learning how to write and speak a foreign language with the fun of slaughtering the undead. I don't think I would be giggling half as much if I knew what the announcer was saying. I can only hope that some enterprising Japanese native will pick this game up and test to see how much English they walk away with versus their zombie-killing skills.

    This game was announced quite a while ago, wasn't it?
    No screens yet, even?

        I meant "nothing except this?"
        Should've made it more clear.

    I dont know why but I was watching that and considering, that isnt a bad idea ya know. Though it could do with a re-vamp up the idea of drawing the characters just seems great in a game that incorporates it ^^

    Typing of the dead has been out years.

      Yep, I remember playing it on the Dreamcast. This is a "English Of The Dead", though. It's fundamentally the same, but relies in writing and pronunciation of English words.
