The Last of Us is one of the biggest hit video games of 2013, and YouTuber Brian Aderson commemorates the game with this awesome LEGO Last of us mock trailer. The game, in which the player fights off people infected with a zombie-like fungus, is parodied brilliantly here with CGI LEGO block figures in the place of the original game characters.
Viewers watch as the LEGO hero shoots, bludgeons and otherwise defeats moaning zombies with fungus growing on their faces in a bid to reach a weapons cache to reload on ammo. The video copies the game right down to finding lives and collecting coins and points from killing enemies. This LEGO Last of Us video is a fun tribute to an incredibly popular game.
