KILL ZOMBIES! WIN MONEY!
As you start off in the handicap wrestling match, press the Square button to attack the three zombies and wiggle the left toggle stick if they sink their teeth into you in order to break free. Once the next group of zombies enter the ring, feel free to pick up an object (the foam finger is fun) to use as a weapon.
Once the sides of the ring drop, jump up on one of the corner posts to lure the zombies through the grinders. Go around and jump on top of all four, but then quickly jump off to avoid getting burned. After you jump on the fourth one, wait an extra couple seconds before jumping off because there will be flames that shoot across the ring.
Beat up the burnt zombies, then once the four corner posts reset, jump back on all four to reactivate the grinders. You can also earn some extra cash by taking out a few zombies in the audience as well before the timer runs out.
Following the cutscene, exit through the locker room door and head straight down the hallway. Head into the bathroom on the left to save your game, then continue to follow the arrow down the hallway for a cutscene.
Follow the onscreen instructions to take picture of TK and Brandon. Wait till they move to the left, then when you see TK hand over the card key and the “PP” circles appear above their heads, press X to zoom in and then Square to take the picture.
Quickly walk along the catwalk and turn left up the steps to follow them. Then take two more pictures when you see the “PP” circles above them again. Follow them when they walk under you and snap a few more pics when TK hands him a briefcase (note: you can still earn points without the “PP” circles appearing).
Following the cutscene, snap a quick pic of the three body guards to earn some points, then beat them up. Work on the guy with the weapon first. Once he drops it, pick it up and use it to your advantage.
Following the next cutscene, pick up some of the nearby items and follow the arrow down the zombie-filled hallway (snap a pick to earn a bunch of Horror points). Once you get to the lobby, snap a pic to get some Brutality points, then go and try to save Dale and other civilians you can.
Continue to follow the arrow and exit through the glass doors of the lobby. Following the cutscene, turn right out of the control room and save your game in the bathroom on the left. Exit, head down the stairs and examine the door to the vent on the right.
Proceed forward and pick up the shovel on the floor (great for zombie bashing!). Turn left and head up the stairs. Pick up the money on the hallway floor, then head through the double doors into the Royal Flush Plaza.

Whack some zombies as you make your way through the Plaza. Turn left through the glass doors on the left when you reach Roy’s Mart.
Following the cutscene, take out the three looters. After you acquire the Pharmacy key, hop over the counter and enter through the door on the right. Pick up the Zombrex on the counter in front of you.
Press the Triangle button to call Denyce (the pharmacist) to follow you out the other door. Exit Roy’s Mart, stick to the right wall and book it through the Plaza to get back to the hallway leading to the basement of the Safe House. Wait for Denyce to join you, then head through the vent door.

Survivor: LaShawndra and Gordon
Back in the Plaza, head for LaShawndra, who will be standing up on the counter of The Dark Bean. After you talk to her, run directly across to Casual Gals with her to reunite her with Gordon (snap a pic of them hugging to get extra points).
Once Gordon decides to join, lead them down the hallway and through the vent to the Safe House.
Following the cutscene, check your watch. If it’s not quite 8:00 a.m. yet, you can head back into the mall to explore a bit and do some zombie-killing to maybe raise your stats. Or shop a little.
At 8:00, give yourself the Zombrex shot, then head back to the Safe House.

Pick up the bat on the floor and combine the two on the work bench by pressing the Square button. (From here on out, you can combine weapons for some pretty awesome combinations.)
Exit through the double doors and test out your new weapon on the group of zombies to the right. Head into the Royal Flush Plaza and answer your blue tooth to talk with Stacey.
She will present you with a couple missions to escort survivors back to the Safe House. These side missions do not need to be completed to beat the game; however, completing them will earn you, cash, points, skills and health.

THE FACTS
Follow the arrow to the Plaza, then make your way to Fortune Park for a scene.
Go left. Take out the two soldiers, then destroy the Harvester. Proceed forward and destroy the next Harvester out in front of Uranus zone.
Cut across to the right and take out another group of soldiers who will be guarding the next Harvester in front of the Fortune City Hotel.
Advance and take out the next Harvester near the Royal Flush Plaza.
Next, follow the arrow to destroy the fifth Harvester in Platinum Strip in front of Moe’s Maginations. Head into Dining at Davey’s across the way and grab some food lying around for some extra health.
Follow the arrow to the next Harvester, which will be near the Souvenier Kiosk.
After you destroy that one, take out the next one across the way from the Peep Hole.
The next and final one will be just up the way in front of Juggz. Pick up a rifle (you’ll need it later), then destroy the final Harvester.
Following the cutscene, turn left in through Uranus zone. Follow the arrow toward the theme park for an awesome final battle with Stacey.
To start off, dart for the open container to the left. If you don’t have a rifle, there will be one on the floor, along with some health. Peek out from the container and aim for the red “eye” of the contraption and unload on it.
Stacey’s toy, however, will unload heat-seeking missiles toward you, which will get old fast. If ever you need more health, go all the way through the other side of the container and grab some fish from the pond to the left. There will also be a maintenance room nearby to build weapons.
However, the best weapon of choice to take down Stacey’s toy would be something you can hack and slash with, preferably a samurai sword. Take that and get close to it, but watch out for the steam it randomly shoots out from its base.
When you see either of its claws go up, perform a roll to get out of the way. Once one of them gets lodged in the ground, quickly hack it break off the armor around its pinchers.
Repeat this process several times. Keep in mind that once some of the armor begins to fall of, his health will begin to drain quicker.
Once you get it down to one star the real fun begins. Move quickly to doge the containers it will hurl at you, and watch out when it tries to grab you with its pinchers.
Similar to before, the best way to inflict damage on it is after it gets one of its pinchers stuck in the ground, run up to it and hack the exposed circuity.
Once you get it down it down to its final bar of health, walk on the nearby pincher on the floor and use to jump up on the platform. Press the Square button once on top to activate the rack.
Hop down, carefully avoid the missiles and the flames and do the same thing on the adjacent platform.
This will cause the part the Stacey is controlling to collapse. After it does, run up it and press the Square button to fight Stacey. From there, follow the onscreen button combinations to combat her. Repeat this process two more times to defeat her and beat the game.

OVERTIME
After finding out that TK has taken Rebecca, follow the arrow through the Plaza and then the Americana Casino to lead you to the Underground.
Once you get to the platform in front of the railroad tracks, hop inside the orange janitor’s cart and follow the arrow down the tracks.
When you spot the train cars on the left, hop on them and pick up the Zombrex stash inside.
Continue down the tracks until the arrow turns left. Then make your way up onto the narrow platform and use the ladder to get to Silver Strip.
From there, head for Pub O’ Gold. Head behind the backside of the bar and pick up the expensive champagne for TK.
Now it’s off to Uranus Zone. From there, follow the arrow to the back of the First Aid room to pick up some sutures on the back counter

Head back to Fortune Park and then to the arena for a scene. Before you do, though, make sure you have health items stored up.
Just like the opening part of the game, you’ll have to wrestle zombies again. Just like before, jump up on one of the corner posts to lure the zombies through the grinders. Go around and jump on top of all four, but then quickly jump off to avoid getting burned.
Continue to fight zombies until TK decides enough is enough, at which point there will be another scene.
You’ll now have to fight TK. His only attacks will be hitting you with his pimp cane and spearing you into the railing. Once he does the latter, rotate the left toggle stick back and forth and follow the button commands to break free.
Pull out a weapon (if you don’t have on, there will be come on the railings around the perimeter of the area) and use it to beat up TK. The best method is to take a single whack, then perform a roll, whack him, roll, ect.
Rebecca’s health won’t deplete too fast, but if you take too long, stand by her and press X repeatedly to help stop the bleeding. Finishing taking care of TK to officially complete the game.
