Oh Sega. What, you don't know that the mere premise of teaching people English by having them type zombies to death guarantees sales? It does. So while the flash demo you've provided of one of the game's cheesy tutorial levels (the real typing of the dead comes later) is greatly appreciated, it's not really needed. Thanks anyway, though!

I'm still traumatized by the zombie in the bikini D=
The first fucking sentence it gave me was "I want to win big money."
I see it prides itself on teaching accurate English.
Hey, I'm pretty good at that game!
When I got it to say "you are already dead," I was disappointed that the zombie's head didn't explode.
@Zerozaki Ishiki: Win xD
I'm pretty good at this "English"! I might start listing this as my second language.
I want Japanese of Dead D=
@Zerozaki Ishiki:
"I want to win big money" is a pretty useful sentence if you wind up stranded on an episode of Press Your Luck.
C'mon, big money, big money, no whammy and ..... stop!
@Zerozaki Ishiki: Hey. When you're basing your sentences off of Cash, Guns, Chaos, what do you expect?
Result: I am Winner.
Retry.
"You are already dead" scared me.
What on earth are the yellow symbols above the English, like in the photo there? Are they some crazy system of explaining how to pronounce the words, or was there bad encoding in the Flash game itself?
@jenvik:
The system that took the screen shot likely didn't have Japanese character encoding installed/enabled.
The reason the buttons are still readable is because they are just graphic images rather than text.
@Philondra: Okay, that makes way more sense! I guess mine doesn't either, although the kanji in people's names on this site works fine. Maybe it's just my Flash that isn't Japanese-enabled.
Hahaha great way to learn "asci code of the dead" if you don't have Japanese font. Nice Pic =)
"You are already dead"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Delicious delicious mojibake.
"You are already dead" had the blank in the wrong spot. It should be ____ You aqre already dead.
With the answer being YATATATA, of course.
Aw ye-aaaaah! Top score!
Okay, so they obviously don't take all valid answers, only their valid answers.
How is "He is cool" grammatically correct, but "He was cool" isn't?
All this game needs is a grammar nazi!
@Palladium:
The game is intended to teach English to Japanese speakers. There's a sentence in Japanese right above the English one and you're supposed to be translating it.
@Palladium:
Sorry friend, you'll need to brush up on your Japanese before you can learn English.
@Palladium: Yeah, I got "I came ( ) Canada" and both "from" and "in" were available as answer.
So the Japanese text is rather necessary to know which version is the intended one :D
I came in Canada?? What are they trying to teach the youth of japan!?! Fox News at 9 Banzorizing this adult rated game that is teaching your childen to come into japan, probably illegally to exhume corpses and spray non sense grafiti everywhere.
witness: "all he kept saying was "he is cool he is cool" as he went on a rampage in the grave yard, it was horrible!"
