17->''"''The War Z'' is not just a bad game. Bad games happen all the time. This is something far more insidious; a shameless attempt to cash-in on a popular trend with the minimum possible effort. It's different from the regular band of clones, copies and derivations because most of those at least attempt to fashion a half-way decent game. This is a focused cash-grab, as plain as there ever has been. Put simply, ''The War Z'' is the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatoing}}'' of video games."''
