In the European version his chainsaw was replaced with an axe and any reference to him being a "chainsaw maniac" was changed to describe him as a lumberjack. He's got a chainsaw and he puts it to good use by carving his way through walls to get close to you. The guy on the left here represents the most modern monster in ZAMN's menagerie - the masked serial killer. They only move when you do, which leaves you feeling a strange sense of control over them as you walk the monster - the monster wearing your own face - into the whirling blades of your weed-whacker. you!? No, it's not some "mankind is the true monster" deal but instead a Zeke doppelganger created Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style by some sinister plant life. The very worst thing about them? If you try to hit them with the bazooka, they simply duck underneath the shell. Even killing them isn't always enough, because sometimes they burst into flames and stumble around on fire until you put them out for good. These tiny axe-wielding terrors are mostly found in the mall stages, bursting from their environmentally-unfriendly packaging with a laugh so creepy Ed Gein would have used it as a ringtone and heading straight for you (or more accurately, your ankles) with nothing but murder on their tiny plastic minds. The devil dolls are introduced early, and boy are they a step up from the zombies. They're slow, they're feeble and it doesn’t take much to kill them think of them as an elderly relative, except they want to strip the flesh from your bones instead of giving you embarrassing public kisses. The title promised zombies, and zombies you shall have - they're the most common enemy in the game, crawling from the ground in almost every level and offering little in the way of a challenge. Here in Europe the name was changed to the rather more banal Zombies!, although this was apparently because the game's European distributors thought that a simpler name would sell better and not because the idea of zombies eating neighbours was considered too violent. Of course, these stages would be pretty barren if they weren't packed with every kind of hideous fiend ever to grace the silver screen, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors is not lacking in the monster department - in fact, the game's working title was simply " Monsters" until it received it's now-familiar name. It's not real science unless you've got coloured liquids flowing through curly tubes and the local villagers are stocking up on pitchfork handles and torch oil. This place makes the Large Hadron Collider look like a Fisher-Price kitchen set. Strange coils that pointlessly launch electricity into the air? Check and check.
Bubbling vats of unidentified liquid? Check.
