Closing Comments
In the end, The Last Guy is an outstanding title that's challenging, funny, and fresh. Yes, it's a download and it's rather simple looking, but once you get your hands on the controls and get to the point where you've tanked for the fifth time in a row and are plotting a path on the map overview before your next deployment, you'll know why this game rocks. Plain and simple, The Last Guy deserves to have a place on your hard drive.

9.0 Presentation
The first time you play, a voice over TV color bars tells you about the downfall of society. The mission screen has all the vital info for you to see at a glance. You can jump into levels.
7.5 Graphics
This is a simple game, but the city maps look great, and the way the crowd goes from following to freaking out is nice. The zombies and the last guy aren't the most detailed, but they look good.
8.5 Sound
There is only a handful of tracks in the game, but they never get old. The in-game song is catchy; the 8-bit effects are fun; and even when I died for the tenth time, the death music cracked me up.
9.0 Gameplay
Getting people from Point A to Point B is a simple concept, but The Last Guy uses level layouts, zombies, and strategy to make it something much, much more.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
I've beaten the game, and I can't wait to download it on Thursday and go after every VIP, every secret level, the leaderboards, and all 9,999,999,999 survivors I can have.
9.0
Outstanding OVERALL

Very cool. I look forward to getting this, I enjoyed the classic Snake-ish gameplay mixed with HD satellite info and goofy premise. I approve of The Last Guy.

Anybody know if it has trophies? I can imagine some pretty creative ones off the top of my head...

No word of trophies yet. But according to the PS blog, the game will be available (full game) for purchase tomorrow. 8-28-08



Hello, PS.blog readers! At the end of July, we announced the game The Last Guy for North America, and said there would be much more about the game in the coming weeks. Since then, I hope you’ve checked out the trailers that have been released, the special “interview” with the guys in the Himalayas, and the just-posted IGN review.

Ifyou haven’t heard of The Last Guy yet, here’s the run-down. Every stage is a real city, shown from overhead using detailed aerial photography. Basically you make your way through cities, find people hiding in buildings, and lead them to the Escape Zone while avoiding zombies roaming the streets. Use thermography vision to find people hiding in buildings, “dash” to run away quicker, and “huddle” to scrunch up the line to keep the people out of the path of the zombies. The controls are simple, but keeping your line away from the zombies and making it to the Escape Zone without losing anyone is anything but.


We released the demo last week, giving a taste of half of the Asakusa, Tokyo stage, one of the many stages in The Last Guy. I hope you’ve had a chance to check it out. If you’re anything like me, you probably have that song stuck in your head too.


Well,I’m back here on the blog today because I’m here to announce that the full North American release of The Last Guy will be hitting the North American PlayStation Store tomorrow afternoon for $9.99! And you can purchase the game from the PlayStation Store, or from right inside the demo itself. How handy is that?

Withthe full game, you’ll get to experience the full Asakusa stage from the demo, plus a bunch of other exciting cities from around the world, with 15 stages in all. Of course there’s London and Los Angeles, which we originally mentioned. And in the latest trailer above you can see cities like Washington, D.C., Sydney, Berlin, and Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. There are lots of other great cities waiting to be saved by you in the full game, plus a bunch of different kinds of zombies and boss zombies for you to outwit and out-maneuver. You’ll definitely have to use the power-ups scattered throughout each stage wisely to make it through each of the 15 stages.

Hereare a few cool screenshots from some of the new cities, Berlin and San Francisco.


Soyou have until tomorrow afternoon to practice with the demo to perfect your line-leading zombie-avoiding skills, thermography powers, building-encircling technique, and Stamina gauge management. Because the levels in the full game are much more challenging, and even feature online rankings and different ratings for how well you do (like how many VIPs you find and rescue). Who knows, maybe something cool will happen if you get a good “clear” rating on all the levels…

Bythe way, there will be a couple of cool The Last Guy wallpapers on the store tomorrow as well. Hope you like ‘em!

Letme know what you think of the demo, and the full game when it comes out tomorrow. Thanks!

I didn't like the demo at all. It's basically PAC MAN, except you grow a tail.

Too bad this isn't multiplayer, where one person is trying to save people (has all of their abilities from single player mode), and the other players are the zombies and walk around town looking for the party.

It's Snake vs. Pacman. I can dig it.

Awesome game. Even my wife got into it and finished it. Waiting for an expansion or add-on levels hopefully.

I like it but I swear this is one game that is going to make me go blind watching the little figures dash around on my TV on the other side of my livingroom.

Taking my time going through this so I don't burn out on it (actually, I've been rotating all my games so I don't get sick of any of them :p). Still loving it. Remember to zoom in at the beginning of a level to save your eyes a little.

I've been stuck on 3-4 for while now. The constant zooming in and out to keep tracking off all the zombies is nutz :(
