There have been many comparisons to what this game is like, is it gta with zombies? is it resident evil without the dark areas and jumping moments, and to be quite honest it defines itself in a new genre, just like shaun of the dead did being a rom-com-zom (romantic comedy zombie film) this is a zom-rpg-tps-zandbox hybrid (zombie, role-playing, third person shooter, open-ended game)The story is as you'd expect from a dawn of the dead knock-off, Frank West (the main character you control) is a reporter who hears about the story of a lifetime and so gets dropped off by helicopter into this town (unbeknown by him at the time populated by zombies) and tells the helicopter driver to pick him up in three days,

I have NEVER completed this game, and this is nothing to do with my level of gaming, or the lack of a good story, it has more to do with how much freakin' fun it is to just go on a bit of a rampage.Every so often i will look through my 360 collection looking for a game to pass the time, and nearly every time i pick up Dead Rising i get about three missions in an end up beating the stuffing out the zombies with a big plastic sword. And every time i play i find new areas, just last week i walked into a multi screen cinema and found about thirty or so zombies just wandering around.The controls are easy, and the breakable weapons are realistic, if a little frustrating at times.

Dead Rising is really an unofficial adaptation of Dawn of the Dead. The premise concernes Frank West, a photojournalist who has crossed an army blockade to find out what's going on in a small town cut off from the outside world. You find yourself inside a shopping mall with hundreds of very gory looking zombies with the aim of surviving for three days until a helicopter comes to pick you up. Other than meeting the helicopter there are no set objectives, accomplishing certain things will allow you to discover different stories unfolding within the mall. You will also be able to rescue and interact with other survivors, kill zombies or just hide out on the roof where it's safe for three days.

I have had this game since I first bought my 360 years ago, and it is the only title I have never even been slightly tempted to trade in or sell. It is that good. I am a fan of Capcom's survival horror games, especially RE, RE2 and Nemesis, and was dying to try a 3rd person game made in a similar vein - and I just wasn't disappointed.People whine on about the savepoints etc, but to me they just are the sort of gamers who demand an easy mode for all their games. There is NOTHING wrong with the saving in this game, and anyone used to the old "look for a typewriter" RE savestyle will totally understand where Capcom are coming from. There are toilets everywhere in the mall, and that is where you save.

This is a brilliantly constructed game, with the game makers making perfect use of new graphics capabilities to create hundreds of zombies on screen in one go, all moving independantly and freely... Definately the foundations for a few titles to come...When you first start out on this game, you might find it difficult to bash your way through the zombies you first encounter due to being a low level... You pretty much either button mash or try and clear a fairly good way through and then run... Though the more zombies you kill, the higher your level gets, so it's probably worth having a go at finishing them all...The vast array of weapons available is incredible, my favourite in particular being the lawnmower...

Picture this: 1 mall, 1 hard as nails photographer and a boat load of zombies! deadrising is undoubtabally the funnest game xbox has to offer. From the powerful (excavator) to the hilarious (king salmon) the mall is full of every weapon imaginable! My favourite is the showerhead, stick it in a zombies head and blood will rain out until the zombie dies. This game IS the poster child of xbox.Now ive people say that the save system is annoying, but come on people! The game saves at the start of each case and there are toilets in which you can save everywhere! But bewarned, the writing in this game is very small (i bought a huge tv for the game alone) but who really reads the subtitles heh heh heh.Did i mention that this game is huge?

This game is truly the best undead bashing game there is!Firstly you don't even have to follow the story, you can just stand in a room for 6 hours if you want to unlock the overtime mode easily, how great is that!!!However, if you're a zombie genocidal maniac who just wants to massacre every zombie you can get you're hands on then this game is for you!!Why do the story?? Just massacre THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of zombies for 6 hours with anything and everything you can get your hands on. Chairs, benches, lawnmowers, chainsaws, knives, guns, bats, steel, iron, pots, sickles,domestic items,DIY items.... JUST EVERYTHING CAN BE USED AS A WEAPON!!!Not only that but you can learn new skills to fight with like walking on top of a huge horde of zombies,

First time i played dead rising i absouletly hated it. But just before I was about to trade it in I gave it another chance. After you level up a few times the game becomes substainally easier. The fact you can keep your levels and skills when you start a new game is a good feature. The multiple story endings are cool. However there is no story line like mass effect or oblivion despite capcoms best tries to make this a in depth storyline to be hnoest i wasnt really bothered who brad was or why they were here. Another flaw is the poor cut scenes which luckily you can skip. For example in one franks hand was holding a camera and the his hand started to flap back and forth.

I purchased this game because a fellow work employee recommend it. He was right!Good - There are a lot of weapons to choose from and use at your disposal, such as guns, benches, flower pots, cash machines etc.The "zombie bashing" is really addictive and you can find yourself going off the storyline in order to defeat all the zombies.Bad - I dislike the save system very much! In order to save your current progress you have to locate a rest room or the security room. From where you are on the map, this can take a long time to reach and you may find yourself running long distances to save points. The weaponary for your first few levelled abilities, don't last long and you can find your self only managing 4 or 5 kills,

Ok Zombies in a huge shopping mall and you are Frank a journalist who must get to the bottam of why all the living dead are eatting all the living alive. Use obvious weopons from guns found in the gun stores to bats, swords, lawnmowers, frying pans...if you can pick it up then you can slap or shoot a zombie with it. 100's of zombies on the screen at once...THAT IS SO COOL. Complete missions and try to save people...or not if you want. Imagine how cool it was to rescue six survivers at once, give them all weopons to protect themselves with and then guide them through the zombie masses...and I mean right through them. Some made it and some got noshed on. Its intense and a bloody good story from capcom.

This is a fun game from Capcom , the makers of Resident Evil where you must survive a zombie invasion while trapped in a shopping mall !You have alot of freedom in this game , if you want you can avoid the story all together and just do whatever you want in the mall until the time runs out.You can use almost anything in the mall as a weapon and there can be hundreds of zombies on the screen at a time !The controls may seem awkward at first but once you get past them , you'll be having hours of zombie bashing fun with this game.The text size may be abit small for those with small screen standard definition TVs too. Alot of the game revolves around reading text ,

This is perhaps the greatest game ever to be created on the console if any liked resident evil but disliked the fact that a few zombies could slaughter you in a matter of seconds. your going to love this game with around about 1000 zombies on screen the blood bath is endless from humble beginings of whacking zombies with baseball bats to eventually disembowling them. the ways to kill never get old. for anyone that plays games for a challenge you in for a treat this game is one of the hardest if not the hardest to 1000/1000 gamerscore with acheivments varying from falling 15feet to killing 53,943 zombies in one playthrough.

Very good game, definately try this regardless if you think you will like it or not. its very different, there is a story line but you dont have to follow it, basically you are just encouraged to survive for 72 game hours in a shopping mall with 100s of different weapons at your disposal...the game is quite achievement based as you play the game through aiming at certain points such as zombie genocider kill 53000 odd zombies (the population of the city) or psycopath killer (survivors who've gone a bit crazy due to the infestation), you can also try to save sane survivors by escorting them back to your security room where you intend to take them with you when the helicopter arrives...but this may change as the game has something like 8 different endings,

The game is fantastic all I am doing now is doing the missions , it is great fun . The gunshop is in the North Plazza . There is alot of blood in it, also when you go up levels you unlock realy cool master skills , andthrowing skills all that is done by doing the missions and killing lots of zombies .The only thing is thats wrong with the game which I had trouble was the saving when you first start the game , however when you start a new case make sure you save it otherwise you will lose it all . Its a shame there isnt an autosave that would be much better .Over all the game is amazing , the weapons you get are realy cool to fight with and kill the millions of zombies .Last thing is that the

Other reviews have described the games good and bad points very well, and in detail, so i wont boher repeating them all again. I wll just explain one major flaw:Although the game is very fun, there is one major problem, and thats saving.The first time i played i assumed ther was an autosave bcauase all the games i have played have had one (GTA IV, COD, Resident evil 5, Fallout 3 e.t.c.) So after dieing after 2 hours playing and finding out i was back at th beginning i wasnt happy. After learning from that mistake i often go to a save room,which can be a right chore, and does reduce the fun of the game.**So be warned, save often!**
