I know you asked for good graphics and good controls, but this would be the best free roaming zombie game ive played to date, and its free!
If you can get past the ASCII graphics, and the keyboard controls of the game i am sure you will have alot of fun playing this game.
At the very least you should check it out, here is the link
Cataclysm : A Zombie Survival Roguelike
"The game challenges players to not only acquire essential supplies to survive, but to battle with a wide range of zombies that will continue to threaten the life of the player. The game challenges players to play with a plan on mind as they try to survive both the day and the night."
In this game you need to eat, drink, and sleep.
Its a really really large randomly generated level, all buildings can be entered, You can break down doors, smash out windows to get inside, There is a pretty nice damage system where parts of your body can be damaged and will hinder you depending on which part it is, ect. Do check this game out, one of my Favorite Roguelike games of all time.
I bet most people dont know about it, after getting into other roguelikes like dwarf fortress, and what not, I came across this little gem, have played it almost everyday at least for a bit since.
Then i recommend waiting for Fortnite; introduced by Epic Games at the VGA. It sounds like it will be exactly what you're talking about except for the graphics. Yeah its cartoony but they say it will be a resources managing, fort building, free roam scavenging, spooky horde mode game. I am excited for it. And it looks like it could be multiplayer based, which is cool too!
Late Reply hehe, but a games/projects I forgot to mention was Class3 and Class4 from http://undeadlabs.com/. Currently they've stated that both games will be 3rd-person. Sadly for people who don't own an Xbox 360, won't be able to play Class3 & Class4 as they're both Xbox 360 Exclusives.
Quoted from they're blog "‘Class3’ is the code-name for our ambitious zombie-survival open world game, currently under development at Undead Labs for release on Xbox 360 as an Xbox LIVE Arcade title.
We’ve all sat around with friends, debating the best ways to survive the zombie apocalypse. Well, the time for speculation is over; ‘Class3’ will let you put your personal survival plan to the test, on your own or with a friend over Xbox LIVE."
"‘Class4′ is the codename for our subsequent zombie-survival online world game that we will develop by building on the ‘Class3’ platform with feedback from ‘Class3’ fans. The game will provide a much larger server-hosted world for thousands of simultaneous players."
So basically, Class3 is a Zombie Survival free-roam/sandbox co-op game and Class4 is pretty much the same thing as Class 3, but as an MMO.
Recently, They announced that the games would be using CryENGINE 3 and released a video showing the Day-night time cycle.
So this is a free-roam realistic zombie survival multiplayer mod http://dayzmod.com/
It requires Arma 2 : Combined Operations. ($30 on Steam)
It is currently in Alpha.
It has hunger, thirst, perma-death.
It has alot of potential.

Finally, someone mentions it.
This is what you're looking for OP, if you have the rig to handle Arma.

This thread is from January, of course it would take a few months for someone to post Day Z...
But yes, Day Z, while being a mod of ARMA 2: CO, meets all of the requirements and is the ultimate game for free-roaming, scavenging and surviving.
Remember kids, when the mod crashes delete system32!
