    Ah, Sorry. My fault. Let me translate the whole article for you:

    Fleeing the Zombies!
    by Wolfgang Harbauer

    Zombie Run! brings real horror on your phone. With GPS and Google Maps the freeware locates the player and starts a horde of virtual zombies hunting the victim. You may escape only by fleeing from the army of zombies.

    When you start Zombie Run!, tha game activates your GPS. The game shows the player's location in Google Maps, and with your finger you mark your destination. Then numerous green zombies show up on the display. The player must reach his destination without touching the brain-eaters. If you happen to establish line of sight with a zombie, the undead turns red and starts moving towards the player. If It is too close, the game is over.

    The game offers a variety of options: You decide the masses of zombies with "controlled outbreak", "early local spreading", "advanced outbreak", and "uncontrolled pandemic". The different modes of speed of the raised dead in Zombie Run! are named by the movies of "Night of the Living Dead", "Resident Evil", or "28 Days Later".

    Bottomline:
    The concept of the game is called augmented reality - extended reality. The combination of virtual zombies and real escape routes is very fancy and leads to excitement and goose skin. Because you need to use GPS you may only play the game on the outside.

    The game should be available in English as well ... http://zombie-run.en.softonic.com/android; but there is no review or description available ...

    Advantages:
    original game-concept
    combination of game and reality

    Disadvantages:
    zombies move through buildings
    playable only on the outside
    I hope that helps; and I hope I did not butcher English too much ... Am not in the translators' lodge ...

    All the best!
    Liam

    Zombie Story:
    - raises the acceptance of killing humans in huge numbers,
    - reveals everything bad and and even worse about human behaviour and psychology,
    - is fun.
