Yes, Mannequin torso is BY FAR the best weapon in the game in terms of how easy they are to come by to how much damage they do.

The katana is incredibly useful (though hard to come by) and if you are in the right area, the battle axe is phenomenal as well.

Helpful hint: Everyone says the mini chainsaws are the best weapon. Given where you have to go just to get them, that’s nonsense. Instead, triple book the mannequin torso.

(A friend of mine got all 1000 Gamerscore for this game. Considering the DIRT STUPID survivor AI, I have NO idea how in hell he pulled that off.)

It was the little things that just killed it for me. The Wii port is coming out next year, if I can get it cheap I’ll pick it up. SUPPOSEDLY they are fixing the bugs and changing the concept of time, so we’ll see how that works out.

RJ just inspired me to pick this up online from Walmart for $15.

The wife has been complaining about GTA4 and that my only goal in the game is to kill police officers. I’m not sure she will like this game any better but at least my victims will be dead already.

I agree on this one. There were so many points in the game that frustrated me as I played through that it was hard to enjoy the game. I had more fun with the game just running around the mall killing zombies…and that got boring quick.
