Saints Row 2 Has Hidden Zombie Mini-Game

5:20AM September 16, 2008 | Stuart Houghton

Zombies. Can’t live with ‘em.. and they just can’t live. You also can’t avoid ‘em at the moment. They are the fixed-gear bikes of horror.

Not content with infesting hundreds of video games of their own, the Zombie horde has slowly shuffled onto the back lot of the Gang-related sequel Saints Row 2 for a fully-3D mini game.

Pop into one of the game’s many arcades and you should find a Zombie coin-op that uses the main game’s 3D engine to pit you (actually, your avatar’s avatar, I suppose) against an army of undead brain-chompers, like a Left 4 Dead-lite.

What could be better than this? Two things – first, if Rockstar take up the challenge and implement GTA IV in an in-game console in GTA V. Second, two words — Zombie Busey. Saints Row 2 Hands-On – Story, Co-op, and Zombies [Gamespot]

The park’s got five themed zones: Spookyville, Fairytale, Space, Pirate and, quite logically, Carnival. There’s a single-player Story Mode and multiplayer for up to three that I assume is local-only. Spookyville sounds rad, and while I’m no coulrophobic, this clown definitely spooks me a little.

Coyote Console’s the developer; full details after the jump.
