Other reviewers are pretty much right on the money. It's a nice game if you like top-down driving games involving zombie-killing. Runs fine on low-spec laptops and won't kill your graphics card.
The camera perspective, as noted, moves around a lot and can cause headaches for some people. The devs are releasing a patch to fix this sometime soon, though, thankfully.
The weapons system is somewhat weak - you can only have one weapon active on your car at a time and to switch weapons during a mission you have to find a powerup somewhere in the city for the weapon you want to use.
One nice touch is that most of the game's files are easy-to-modify text files. You can mod just about anything - weapon damage, car health, zombie running speed. There are already quite a few player-created mods on the Zombie Driver forums.
According to the devs the patch coming will add a menu option to enable/disable mods so you don't have to do it manually.
In the end it's a nice game for short spurts of wild zombie action. There are better games out there for 9.99, though.

Zombie Driver is a mission-based, arcade-esque, bloody survival driving game with the usual zombie theme. Perspective/View and steering is reminiscent of the old (pre-3d) GTA games - the view is 3d, though, and turns/pans as you go, which can be a tad difficult to get used to.
It's mission-based, that is you progress through the fairly linear storyline in a per mission fashion, always starting fully repaired at a base with a timer, specific survivors to rescue and probably other objectives.
It's arcade-ish as you collect most stuff in form of randomly spread power-ups (although they can be found in practically unlimited amounts at the starting base of the mission you're in) - like weapons, after you bought the respective upgrade, as well as repair.
The missions tend to take 5 to 15 minutes each and difficulty (as well as car and weapon selection) increase as you progress. All in all, it delivers what it can be expected to and is well worth the asking price.

Cute graphics, nice physics, simple & addictive gameplay. Supports widescreen and triple-screen displays (horz+). There's blood everywhere and a lot of breakable props. The game could have been more "crazy" though, it's not as irreverent as a GTA2. It's somewhat repetitive, too - but hey, you don't have to rush through all 17 missions in one afternoon. Too bad there's no competitive multiplayer, split-screen mode or mission editor, but it's still a nice little pop-corn game at the right price.

An arcade-ish car action game where you drive vehicles(you start out with a Taxi, Police car, Limo, Ambulance and other cars will be unlocked as you progress) and kill zombies. It's very simple and you have to save people and kill zombies. Camera is a little troublesome, and I really felt a need of GPS or some minimap. Other than that, It's not a bad $9.99 game if you love killing zombies.
