I don't think they could survive in the Left 4 Dead scenario. It's not much different from the HOTD Outbreak except for the special zombies, and those are what would cause problems. Other than Saeko and Kohta, none of them are skilled fighters and would quickly die. Kohta would only last as long as his ammo supply, though I think he could easily be killed by a witch, charger, hunter, or jockey. Even Saeko wouldn't last long with only melee combat. She would easily be killed by a smoker or spitter because of their range. No one in the group would survive a tank. They would quickly be decimated.

I think they would fare much better in the world of Dead Rising. The HOTD scenario is actually very similar to DR as they have to deal with humans who have gone bad like the psychopaths in DR. It's also much more realistic, which is a major part of what makes HOTD great in my opinion.

There's a game coming out next month called Lollipop Chainsaw that I think will be very much like HOTD. There are actually Rei and Saeko costumes available for the main character to wear. You may want to check it out it if you're a fan of zombie games and HOTD.
