Either way, it’s a decent scenario and Jack is fairly likable.

The plot is barebones, and just barely ties into the film. This quest eventually leads him to one of the last surviving outposts, and finally the community of Fiddler’s Green (the same one ran by Dennis Hopper’s character in the film). Eventually Jack sets off for a safe zone in the city. Our soon to be hero fends off a few corpses and makes way for her neighbors. He’s unaware that the walking dead have besieged the land. You play as a simple farmer named Jack who one day notices someone standing on his property in a daze. It does however take place in the same universe, but at the onset of the zombie epidemic. The game is pretty loose with the license in the beginning. You don’t get to play as John Leguizamo or Asia Argento or anything like that. Okay, so Road to Fiddler’s Green doesn’t follow the license exactly. The results are mixed, but Land of the Dead on the original Xbox has a few tricks up it’s sleeve. Admittedly it wasn’t until years later that I finally dove in to this one. A licensed survival horror zombie game? Count me in. First of all, this marked the first time any video game developer attempted to make a playable adaptation of anything related to George A. Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler’s Green was a very interesting release for a few reasons.
