New Line Cinema is stating that the Xbox 360 zombie game too closely resembles the movie, Dawn of the Dead.

They are basically stating that the game is too similar to the movie. Both have zombies and the locations both take place in a shopping mall. It seems that they are wondering if this somehow infringes on any intellectual properties.

Capcom responded as many of us would have ourselves stating that "humans battling zombies in a shopping mall" is a "wholly unprotectible idea".

I have to say that I agree with Capcom on this. Not just because I loved this game and still play it to this day but honestly. Not to mention there was a label on the game case stating that it has nothing to do with Dawn of the Dead.

We'll keep a close eye on this just in case it gets serious.
