Touch the Dead, or Dead 'n' Furious, as it is known in Europe, is a video game made by Dream On Studio and published by Eidos Interactive, on May 15, 2007, under its Secret Stash Games brand, as an on-rails shooter, with survival horror elements that stem from zombies that need to be exterminated by the player.
Touch the Dead uses the touchscreen of the Nintendo DS, prompting players to wield the stylus of the device and point at oncoming zombies through the screen, which fires the weapon currently equipped by the hero of the game, Steiner, who can aim for the head, arms, legs or stomach, depending on his accuracy, and reloading his respective fire arm by dragging an icon from the right to the left side of the screen.
CHEATS
Cheat mode
Press X, Y, Right, Left, X at the main menu. The sound of a zombie will confirm correct code entry, and the logo will turn red. All missions, modes, and bonuses will be unlocked. During game play, you can now use L and R to cycle through the camera views.
HINTS
Alternate reload
Tap and hold the ammunition clip with the stylus. While that is held, tap and hold the left corner where the ammunition is supposed to be dropped with your finger. Lift up the stylus and the ammo clip will instantly appear where your finger is held on the touch screen. Lift up your finger and you will reload.
Defeating swamp zombies
These zombies are smarter than the others. They will protect their heads with their arms. Use your hand gun on their legs when they are at a good distance, but still fairly close. You might have to shoot in quick succession for it to work effectively. Alternately, just blow their legs out with the shotgun. Be careful with your ammunition, as you will need it for the Boss at the end of the swamps.
