George A Romero's City of the Dead

George A. Romero's City of the Dead, or simply City of the Dead, was a cancelled PS2, Xbox, and PC game from Kuju. It was a Romero-approved first person shooter.

Plot
The game is set in Isla Morta, where four survivors must fight for survival. The remote island has a secret military base chock full of weapons and goodies.

Gameplay
City of the Dead would play like Left 4 Dead, as you and three others wade through zombies. There would also be co-op split screen, four player online, and a party mode. In the multiplayer mode you can play as a human or a zombie.

Development
George A. Romero was brought aboard the project to direct the cutscenes. Tom Savini was also brought in to ensure the zombies look and act authentic.

Cancellation
The publisher Hip Games went bankrupt in 2006. City of the Dead got turned into Day of the Zombie for the Russian Commonwealth in 2009.
