Keep in mind that zombies aren't intelligent, but they eventually do come after you once they realize you're there. Remember these are slow moving zombies and you're always running at double their speed. If you have your back turned for too long you'll probably turn around and see a horde of zombies heading towards you, with a couple lunging at you if they're in range. If you don't have that lawnmower (it has limited use) you're pretty much screwed. The zombies are slow but it isn't so much about the lack of any AI intelligence, or at least I didn't find it to be the case. In that lawnmower scene it's right by a set of mall doors that go out into a courtyard. There are three (or more, can't remember) entrances that lead to the courtyard and it's a way to access different areas of the mall. It's a nice open area so the zombies are spread out more.

In that video it's day. During the evening the numbers of zombies double and they're a lot more aggressive. This person playing probably wouldn't have been able to get away with it (chopping them up) during that time.

There are literally thousands of them throughout the game. In some areas (like inside the mall) there can be hundreds in one location, it's insane. It's more numbers than brains.

It remains one of the best zombie games I've ever played.
