Lock on would make this impossible at the higher levels. Simply because the key to keeping hordes of zombies off your ass is strafing the crowd to cause them to stagger. If I'm locked onto one target, there's no way to do that. Also the running melee attacks, and melee attacks in general, would be plain broken with a lock on.
I have a lot of little complaints about the game so I'd give it an 8/10. Single player seems to be a bit too unbalanced. It takes too long to clear a room, but at the same time its usually too easy. I'm near the end of the game now and have 40 continues.
Glad I bought it. Just the sort of Final Fight like mindless fighting action I needed to counteract my Morrowind obsession.
