Just reading you guys descriptions of this is making me want to get an xbox, sounds like a right laugh

I now know where the maintenance key is. It's just sitting around in a room that is fully accessible. Would anyone like to know?

I would (I've added a spoilers tag to this thread btw) I'd also like to know where the gun shop is.

There must be some areas I haven't explored yet including the car park and apparently you can get outside!

OK, those who don't want to know, look away now!

Grab a vehicle from the car park above the tunnels (accessible from the central mall gardens) and head down the ramp. At the bottom, go right, then left, then right again to come to a dead end with a door. Enter the door and the key is in the far right corner of the room.

I think I've discovered how you might be able to get outside, but only by accident and not until after the first 72 hours. I'll leave that one for people to find though.

Edit: Gun shop is in the North Plaza. It looks like it's directly opposite as you enter through the main door but it is in fact down a small alleyway to the left that leads behind the row of shut-up shops. I wouldn't bother going in there unless you've saved in the closest bathroom though - the dude guarding it is a right pain and tosses you back over the counter if you go for the guns. After the 72 hours are up he's not there any more though.

I went to the gun shop just before the 2nd meeting with Isabella, and there wasn't anyone there, I was free to jump behind the counter and get all the weaponry I needed. Was very useful.

Belmit · 12-09-2006, 23:07

Oh. My. God. When will this game end?! Halfway through day five and I'm not even in the mall any more! Just got well and truly owned by a double hard bastard boss, but I don't want to give anything away.

I managed to get back to where I was before, just defeated Isobella but now at Level 25 and the game is much more playable now. I managed to save too late last time and couldn't get to her AND kill her before the time ran out whatever I did.

Really enjoying this now, particularly the small chainsaw with the blade and construction magazines, it seems to last for ages and if it runs out I can go and get another. One thing I have noticed is that the Uzi in the first section (on top of the awning) seems to have disappeared

.

Will have to start going to the gun shop soon I think.

Rescueing the guy who is with the clown and opening the short cut really help you to get around without venturing into the open area in the middle

If you have the uzi/katana etc. in your possession then another won't respawn until you've used the first one up, although I guess you don't have it if you're searching for one! Only recently found the blade shop next to the supermarket - it has a couple of katanas and another sword in, and you can shave your head too! My character's currently running around bald in a bright yellow suit.

I've just started playing this through again having completed the main storyline and I'm finding it much easier at level 35. Killed the guy in the gun shop with about six swipes of the katana, and some of the moves you can perform at the higher levels are just hilarious. Wall jump and suplex are quite good, but my favourite so far is the hammer throw. You shove a zombie sideways and he/she runs off, arms flailing, either until they hit a wall or trip over. Apparantly there's fifty levels so still a good way to go yet - looking forward to the neck twist and disembowlment moves. My housemate also informs me that there's a mimick zombie move, which I'm not so sure about, where you behave like a zombie and they ignore you.

I've read about the zombie walk move so yes it does exist, I must admit I'm really enjoying this game now, its the only thing which has kept me away from buring loads of petrol in the new car

Sweet - a la Shaun of the Dead.

"I'll do it on the night."
"This is the night!"
"Alright... mmmuuurrrr."
"What was that?!"
"Who died and made you king of the zombies? Go on then."
"Uuuur-uuuurgh."
"Yeah, that's pretty good."
