    If it wasn't for the dumb AI I'd like this game more. I've waiting for Dead Rising to be on other platforms other than Xbox.
    Was the wait worth it?
    Yep It sure was. The execution wasn't the best but it was one of the most memorable experiences yet. You're free to do anything and everything you want. Anything is a weapon.

    It was the first game so I won't hold anything too much on it. The psychopaths are top notch and the soundtrack was just too good. Frank West is a hero of Willamette and the Story is definitely something worth checking out... just try to deal with the bad AI.

    Just finished my playthrough loved it very much i played it after finishing Dead rising 2 back in 2013 which should tell you something, i love the graphics so much the game engine is very beautiful can't get bored of it, and gameplay i like how the story is locked with a timer gives the game more purpose and feel like you need to make the most of your time playing the game.

    Overall great game.

    This game had an amazing premise, and a beautiful execution. Sure there are bugs, and if you play for too long it can get repetitive, but that repetitiveness isn't always a bad thing. The arcade style does make me not want to play ever again sometimes, but always I can come back after a break, and play my heart out again. My main gripe with the game is the absolutely stupid AI.

The arcade style does make me not want to play ever again sometimes, but always I can come back after a break, and play my heart out again. My main gripe with the game is the absolutely stupid AI. Both the people who you ally with, and the enemies can be braindead at points. But in it's defence, this was a graphically hard game to run at the time, thanks to the at some points ridiculous amount of zombies on screen, and Capcom Vancouver (at the time Blue Castle Games) was a quite small team. Overall, I would recommended this game to literally anyone who enjoys gaming, but I would give them a caution that it can be very frustrating at times. Especially achievement hunting. Lord, 7 day survivor was pure agony.… Expand

    This game is one of the best zombie sandbox games ever made. The gameplay is pretty fun and exciting. There are so many ways for zombie killing that you can spend a lot of time discovering them all. The only reason to continue following the story is a strict time limit. The story has many endings and you must put effort to get the better one. And the reward is worth it. The graphics lookThis game is one of the best zombie sandbox games ever made.

The graphics look ok for those times. The game sometimes freezes in scenes with a large horde of zombies. It happened on the PC.
    Highly recommended.    … Expand

    After all these years Dead Rising’s design is still absolutely unique. There’s no way you’ll finish the game in the first attempt. You’ll have to repeat it over and over again to work out the optimum scenario, but Dead Rising is so good you won’t mind that at all. [12/2016, p.56]

    Though it hasn't aged that well, Dead Rising remains a good experience. The game can be tough as nails due to the intentional design choices and flaws that stand out in comparison to modern conventions.

    In 2016, Dead Rising is fantastic nostalgic trip that benefits from the higher resolution, frame rate and graphical options greatly, despite the overall textures and models not being as magical as they once were.
