Silly name aside, this is one of the most creative action 2D shooters I have seen in a long time.

Overall, I really like Zombie BBQ's art style, sense of humor, and solid shmup gameplay.

Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ will draw you in with its awesome premise, but it keeps you interested with its excellent shooting action. It’s a quirky, challenging, fun game that’s the DS’s sleeper hit of the season.

Worth Playing
The incredible concept and execution really make this a unique game that plays really well. If you like shmups, need a hearty laugh, or just feel the need to blow up some zombies, you really can't go wrong by dropping $20 on this title.

Despite its unconventional title and content, Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ is probably destined to be a big sleeper hit for the Nintendo DS. With off the wall characters, lots of shooting and amusing takes on old fairytales, this game belongs in your collection.

Gamervision
Overall, Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ is a very enjoyable game, with quirky characters, interesting level settings, and a great sense of humor. However, it doesn’t take long for the gameplay to get a little stale, especially when the game slows down when a large amount of creatures are onscreen at once.

Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ is one creative idea that suffers from lack of follow through.

Pesky controls and irritating slowdown curtail the fun you'll have in this zombie shooter.

Call it a fractured fairy tale with guns and flamethrowers. [Dec 2008, p.94]

People who like deliberately campy, cheesy premises (like a Tarantino film) might find some subversive pleasure in this unique-yet-half-baked effort, but those looking for a little more depth would do well to pass this one by.

Games Radar
In an arcade-style game, anything that requires the player to take a break from shooting is a questionable call. We’re okay with reloading, but handicapping us with awkward controls is just uncool.
