This is now being released as a standalone game for £17.99! Quite pleased as I didn't like RDR as found the missions boring, but this means that I get all the stuff I liked, and a decent plot!!!

Well yeah it's a full game lasting about 6 hours but you also get multiplayer with it too.
I'm pretty sure you need RDR to play the DLC version of this, I might be wrong?
Even so, a disc version will be available.
You Do need the original RDR to play Undead Nightmare, but this Disc version (which I told you all about weeks ago but didn't believe me) packages Undead Nightmare on it's own so it doesn't require the game data from RDR, it also bundles in the Multiplayer with all the Multiplayer DLC such as Outlaws To The End, Liars & Cheats, etc, and this will be compatible with players who own RDR, so for instance, if you get Undead Nightmare, and jump into Multiplayer, you can play with a friend who only has RDR.
Well for £17.99 it's an absolute bargain.
HOWEVER, I love Zombies, and I loved the idea of RDR, so is it worth buying the Disc version of UN? For £17.99 it aint bad, but is it worth it for an add on? i.e. is there enough to call it a full game?
From all the reviews I have seen, both critic reviews & user reviews, it is well worth it. Proper DLC, which will last as long, or longer, than some "full" games which cost £40-50!
More than enough. The single player is about 6 hours long and you also have the multiplayer too.
It can be annoying when you end up out of ammo but other than that I HIGHLY recommend it.
You do get your moneys worth if that's what you want to know, currently there is a bundle on PSN, which includes all DLC for £13.99 but that requires the original RDR, so with the Disc version, not only do you get a physical copy, but the likes of new artwork, etc.
Oh right I never knew that. I thought it was just UN and a multiplayer option. It could be worth £17.99 then. So basically I get RDR with a better story I like, and all the multiplayer options offered in RDR. Sounds like a bargain really. Although....is it actually good?

Thats longer then most COD games which RRP at £55
I'm loving Undead Nightmare though I think it was a great purchase.
Undead Nightmare is exactly the same as RDR, same sort of missions and traveling long distances on a horse. Fast travel is slightly change though.
Its is an excellent piece of DLC though, Rockstar are certainly the best developer making DLC at the moment, its one of the few DLC packages that is real value for money and not just a cheap ploy to just extract more money from you.
It took more 10hours to 100% the single player section of the undead DLC, I have had full priced games that offer less hours to complete :eek:
I hope Rockstar have more single player DLC planned as based on Undead it will be a must purchase for me.
Had a few glitches along the way, not least this, genuine wtf

That's not a glitch, Landon Ricketts is THAT awesome he can be in two places at once, even if it's right next to himself
It works fine as a standalone story.
Its just like the GTA4 DLC.
See I hated GTAIV but loved the online, so bought Episodes and loved the stories and online.
So nothin stopping me from going for it then.
I do fine in the single player. Each safe house has a few ammo caches nearby. If you don't give it to the survivors but do all the zombie slaying yourself you'll be fine and it's more fun that way
Best game add-on I've played I think.
You start off with a difficulty setting before then entering freeroam? How can you choose difficulty when playing against others online?!
I also don't get where the additional built in packs are, i.e. liars and cheats?? I am presuming that multiplayer is like a campaign thing, you do missions and go to certain icons on the map?? Would appreciate some help. Thanks.
Press Select during Free Roam, the game modes listed on that menu, the bottom ones are what would usually be DLC, so you have the Co-Op missions, Poker, Blackjack and Liars Dice will be open in Free Mode for you to join, etc, basically, it will just all appear there as normal, nothing to stand out. Skins, etc, will be in the customise zone for your character so you can choose the DLC skins from that, along with the titles, weapons, etc.
As for the difficulty, that's just for the Free roam mode, Friendly turns off Friendly Fire, so other players can't kill you (Good for doing Gang Hide Outs), Normal means they can damage you and the target style is semi-lock on and Expert is the same as Normal but with Expert Targeting.
Thanks Ash. I don't have that many game modes to choose from. Alot of them say Locked.
In free roam though, do I go to certain points on the map and do stuff? I take it the main point of free roam is is to earn XP to rank up, and you can earn XP by doing the modes and going to locations inf ree roam?
