Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse. Be the Zombie. Show the living that law and order are no match for a dead man on a mission! Co-op Single Player. Show the living that law and order are no match for a dead man on a mission. Chomp on the living and replenish your bodily arsenal of: zombie sputum, gut grenades, and the stunning unholy flatulence. Invite a friend to play as Grubbs for classic couch cooperative hijinks. Friend not included. Fast-forward 26 years. It's , and a super-rich playboy has decided to build an ultra-modern city called Punchbowl on top of Stubbs' resting place, waking him from his eternal slumber in the process.
The zombie doesn't know much - who killed him or why he's back - but he has an unbelievable hankering for human brains and the sort of power he never possessed in his previous existence. So the game casts you as the fagsmoking, hat-wearing ghoul, rampaging through various parts of Punchbowl -a fusion of small-town Americana and Flash Gordon - in a gore-drenched third-person action stylee.
Developer Wideload Games' past experience with Halo many of the team helped make it has led it to use the game's engine, and so Stubbs is shaping up very nicely indeed on the visual front. Stubbs himself has access to a remarkable range of talents. Like any self-respecting ghoul, he loves to feast on brains.
Should Stubbs kill a human this way, he or she is resurrected as a zombie ally who attacks adversaries on sight. While you can't control these directly, you will be able to influence them by either whistling to attract them to you or shoving them in whatever direction you want them to go. These septic sidekicks aren't much cop on their own except as decoys , but like most zombies, they can be deadly in large numbers.
If he's in a tight spot, Stubbs can also call upon his supernatural zombie strength, which allows him to pummel victims to death, sometimes using their own torn-off limbs as improvised cudgels. Our rotting chum also has the ability to hurl his rancid guts at enemies, or loose a burst of unholy flatulence upon them. Finally, he can send his arm toddling off in search of living prey; find a victim, affix the hand to its bonce and hey presto, you can then call on any of his or her abilities reminiscent of Shiny Entertainment's cherub 'em up Messiah.
If you possess an armed redneck, for instance, you can start popping shots off at other humans. Wideload's Alex Seropian claims that all these powers - and the inclusion of driveable vehicles - will work towards making Stubbs The Zombie a rewardingly non-linear experience in places.
Say there's a posse of cops in pursuit of Stubbs. He can bum-rush them and try to beat them purely through brute strength in melee combat. Either that, or he could hide somewhere and send his hand to possess one of the cops and then use him to shoot the rest. Or he could zombify several less dangerous enemies - a gang of teenage hoodlums, for example - and lead them to where the cops are.
The whole thing is beginning to look extremely promising, not least because of the jet-black humour and the chance to experience the world - albeit a weirdly skewed sci-fi version of the s - from a zombie's point of view. Fans of indie music may also be intrigued by the lineup of strangely-coiffed bands enlisted to provide audio accompaniment. Just copy the stubbs. From the Stubbs installation folder, don't click "Stubbs". There should be two files named Launch, but just click the file with the one with the green arrow in the icon.
Then click Troubleshoot compatibility and it should choose XP compatible settings. If the game launches, make sure to save compatibility settings for next time. If the launch fails, google search OpenAL installer and download and install it. It's a very small and quick install. Now the game should run. You'll still need to setup up proper display settings and controller or keyboard settings. Game looks and plays great for being from and an XBOX port.

Can't seem to get this to work on Win 10, I downloaded the needed. Jammy dog08 1 point. Im downloading now its taking ages for a 2.
After I crested the 60 minute mark I found the action to be repetitive and grating. The battles consisted of simply striking your opponent, throwing your explosive body parts at them to kill them or alternatively, eating their brains to turn them into a member of your growing zombie horde. The formula falls down to move to an area, eat some brains and gain some followers, fight the police to win and move to a new area.
Rinse and repeat. There are a few moments throughout where you may possess an enemy and turn their conventional weaponry against the living, small reminders that although this game was good for its time; it could have been even better. It failed to keep my attention for prolonged periods of time which is a shame for what I consider to be one of the best zombie games available.
