Parts of the town should have been in the mall layout, i find the mall too small now!. I want to grow and get out of the mall. !

This game from the day I played it was indeed very addictable and I instantly fell in love with the depth of gameplay. The ammount of weapons is truly jaw-dropping and the AI are rather intelligent for zombies. Graphics also were top of the range. I just had one problem which lost it 5/5 stars and that is the story, its really short but fun. Overall I would highly recommend this game as firstly its great quality for money, its a classic and its zombies, what more do you want

The premise of Dead Rising is that you, a photographer, persuade a helicopter pilot to drop you off on the roof of a shopping mall in a zombie filled town. The pilot will pick you up in 72 hours, so you're immediately running against the clock to save as many people as you can and uncover the truth behind the zombie invasion.
It can seem quite tough at the start, for a couple of reasons. Firstly your character has a variety of abilities that level up as you play the game. You start out slow, unable to fight well and can't carry much, but this improves as you gain experience. The second issue, is that you really have to know the layout of the mall - where weapons and food are, and especially where the save points can be found. They're actually quite common and the save system is no longer frustrating when you know where to find them.
So, chances are you're going to start a few games and never make it more than a short way into the plot to begin with. This would be frustrating, except that between games you keep all of your experience and skills, so a lost game is never a waste. This works exceedingly well - by your 3rd or 4th play, the early stages of the game will be a breeze. The main story itself isn't long - the 72 hours isn't real time - it's more like 10 hours, but after you complete the main story a new infinty mode is unlocked that allows you to spend as long as you want in the mall without replaying the story. There are 50 acheievements in the game, each worth 20 points, so there's plenty to bring you back, quite apart from the sheer entertainment value of killing zombies with lawn mowers, bowling balls, chainsaws and shower heads (use your imagination!).
Dead Rising can take a little effort to get going with, but if you invest a couple of hours at the start, it wil pay you back with gaming's greatest zombie filled riot.

Blah blah blah, enough with the people complaining about the save system, youre adults (or you should be to buy this game) so use your brain and get used to it. This game is fantastic, it's fun, a little disturbing at times granted but overall has alot of playability and is definetely in my top 5 must have xbox360 titles.

I'm a real game lover so I decided to get this one after hearing it was a bit like the dawn of the dead scenario with the shopping mall. I gotta say soem of the features in this game are pretty poor but then others are really good! You can tell where the developers spent their time with this one. For example you have to go to 2 certain places on the map to save and you cannot save anywhere else so if your out across the other side of the mall and need to go somewhere (in real life) you would have to go all the way back. But then saying this the fighting mechanisms in this game are pretty entertaining, for example a lot of objects all around you can just be grabbed and used as weapons, chainsaw, hot frying pan, lawn mower, you name it you cna use it! This game is sort of two in one you can either follow the story or jsut kill every zombie you see move. So if you not a fan of the story like me you can just spend your time chucking bowling balls at zombies. A litte iretating sometimes but good old fun!

i have had this game seven months and it is a must have considering the free roaming abilities the freaky bosses and the weapons and survivors the camera lets you save photos of funny like a lego head zombie so it is one of the most expansive titles on the 360

Storyline was VERY good for this game i thought. Lasted long and visuals were ok. Only let down was after a while it became boring. But a very good classic game

Bashing and slashing zombies have never been more fun than in this game. Yes, the save system may be frustrating, but the awesome gameplay makes up for that! This was my first 360 game and still one of my favourites.

This game has an irretating save system and is timed so whatever u do ur game will be 6 hrs. However if theres a limit to the fun u can have with it, i havent found it yet.
Whislt the survivor AI is poor but that adds to the experience if any horror movie is anything to go on when surrounded by zombies people will do stupid things, and if cornered even take there own lives.
This game is really what u make of it. If u choose to just play the story through once then u probably wont really rate this game but if ur the kind of person who just likes games for fun you will have endless fun trying to fill the screen with zombies with buckets on there head or pretending ur late for something and have no time to avoid them as u run a shopping trolly through hundreds of zombies at a time. The graphics aren't anything special however considering the amount of enemies on screen they hold up well.
Above all its just enjoyable (and cheap) which is what every1 wants from their games

This game is for the horror movie lovers out there to be honest.

After playing this i started to feel it was kinda the same old thing.

Although it can't be compared with other games around, it has got some annoying features which i would hope people would agree with!

there are huge ammount of weapons to kill the zombies with i do find it very boring to have the weapon kill them in the same way each time.

Wouldn't say its good for the collection. But if your a horror movie fan and always wanted to be in action killing the zombies then you should definatly try this!
