Like the movie it's based on, Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green is not much more than a flat out zombie bashing festival (or bludgeoning or shooting festival as the case may be), with caricature violence and cathartic mayhem aplenty.

You play as an unsuspecting farmer for a minute or two; a thoroughly suspecting farmer for the rest of it as you set about looking for weapons, bullets and health-pills and a bit of elbow room that the walking dead are reluctant to give you, because they're hungry, and they want you for dinner. They're your garden variety zombies for the most part, slow moving and dumber than the door knobs that baffle them, though there is the odd creep with a weapon and others that will puke on you to death. Seriously.

Looks shoddy, plays predictably and lacks longevity, but it is decidedly "festive" in the way of mindless horror movies and it's almost appropriately "value priced" to boot.
