TOPIC: Zombicide: Black Plague - Should I Kickstart??

So, I'm thinking of Kickstarting this edition:

Was wondering if any of my fellow forumites have played the earlier editions, what they think of them, and what they think of this latest one?? I do love board games but am only mildly into the zombie themed games. However, the first few editions seem to have gone over quite well with the general board gaming community and with this edition having a tie to fantasy I'm thinking of giving it a shot. With add on's it looks like I'd be up around the cost of another $250 Token pack and I just saw the announcement that there's still two Golden Tickets left..... Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated!!

I don't know much about what changes in this edition, but previous ones I haven't liked very much. It has some screwy targeting rules (if you fire into a space it hits friends first), maneuvering on the map is difficult, and the game discourages killing too quickly because as you level up, more zombies spawn. Also the game can take way too long, especially on some scenarios where you must find specific items in a large item deck. There are also larger zombies that you also must have specific items to kill (again, need to get lucky in item deck draws). Why they can't take partial damage, I don't know.

That said, I know I'm in the minority on this, because the game has done insanely well on Kickstarter and is well rated on BGG. And maybe the new edition is different enough to have fixed some of these things.
