    A game where you run around killing zombies with a huge variety of weapons...how can you possibly go wrong ?

Well this statement must have read like a challenge to the game developers, because they have magnificently managed to suck the enjoyment from what should have been a brilliant game. So how have they managed to do this ? Well their first mistake was having a time schedule that you have to religiously work to. In simple terms you are a reporter who is trying to piece together why a town (in particular the shopping centre) has been overrun by zombies. To finish the game you need to do ALL the cases, and to do a case you need arrive at a set location at a set time (I would like to meet the reporter who operates in this way !!!). So what happens if you miss a case time ? You can either restart the whole game (screaming and abuse will follow) or you can reload your last save.....well that's not a hard decision, just reload your last save and try again. One problem, well in fact it's a HUGE MONSTER of a problem. You are only allowed 1 save at a time, so if you were unlucky enough to save at a point whereby it is impossible to ever be able to get to the next case then you will have no choice but to restart the whole game (more screaming and abuse is acceptable at this point !). Why the developers could not have had a multiple save system like Bioshock is beyond comprehension. ... and their second mistake ? A horrible antiquated control system. Most of the action is in the 3rd person view which works quite well, but it is when you have a gun and you need to accurately shoot that the controls become so frustrating to use. You squeeze the right trigger, the view changes to first person and a little aiming reticule comes on the screen. Whilst in this mode you can move the reticule but for some strange reason you can not move yourself, which means you are open for attack from zombies. If you release the trigger to move you then need to go through the whole process again to re-aim at your target who has a horrible knack of moving just at the wrong time. What makes all of this worse is that the game itself and the act of killing zombies is really fun, and it would seem that these 2 big problems the game has would not have been hard to fix. If they had been done better then the game could for me have been an 8 or even 9 out of 10, but with the problems as they are the game is just way too frustrating to really enjoy.… Expand

Friendly AI is as brainless as the zombies and loves to get itself killed. Terrible save system that makes you replay huge segments of the game. And cheating boss fights. In the first battle when your shooting your enemy he will simply ignore the fact he is being shot and fire back at you, But when you get shot you stumble around like a retard unable to do anything. Why doesn't this happen to him too? And when attempting to aim with your gun the game will suddenly snap your view to a completely different place then where you were looking, meaning you have to very slowly turn your crosshair back to where it is you wanted to fire.… Expand

    I agree with some positive reviews given, but this game is very frustrating, repetitive movements, in spite of not having time to solve some secundary missions, the victims that you rescues are very idiots, having that be repetitively by pressing the y button to call them, aiming is horrible, I do not recommend.

    I found this game fun for the first week but it went downhill from there. Forgetting to save was a BIG problem especially after of hours of play, which led me to think that they (the developers) never had enough time to implant an auto save after each mission. Good game but gets boring after a while after you get used to the cheesiness.

I don't really understand modern pop cultures obsession with zombies, between Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead all the story that can be had out of the zombies has been extracted. So the story was something I was not interested in from the start, also I found the boss fights incredibly hard but maybe I'm just crap. At the end of the day I see saw real potential within this game and I think it can appeal to a wide audience who would be more patient with it than me and enjoy the story. I do recommend having a Dead Rising title in your 360 collection (for the right price, like under £5) even if it's just to pick up now and then just to cave in some zombie skull but despite the game being memorable and fun it's all very short lived and is only worth playing in 20 minute spurts every blue moon so I can't say it belongs with any gaming greats, I can't even say it's good just average.… Expand

    This game showed promise, and in theory should be fun. But the CONTROLS are terrible. Really, among the worst I have ever seen in a game. Plus the uber-tiny type made it impossible to read the text. I don't get how so many people like this game... I got so frustrated with the horrid control scheme (specifically combat and guns) that I traded it in after a few hours.

Visually, the game was nice but not as revelutionary as some of the other games for the 360. While playing this game i couldn't get over the feeling of something was missing from the game. Maybe i was too busy comparing it to the supremely well done resident evil, oh wait, that must be it, it trys too hard to be like resident evil, but fails miserably. The story line for this game is kind of cool, in that choosing different doors or pathways leads you to different parts of the story line. However, the storyline seemed thrown together from our favorite zombie take over the world movies, and lacked the luster and essence of resident evil for which it tried so hard to measure up to. This would be a fun game for someone with nothing to do on a weekend, and who enjoys mindnumbing button mashing fun, that is pathetically repetitive and...hmm...oh yah BORING!!!!. Well done xbox 360, if you keep this up you will eventually game yourself out of buisness.

    I found this game completely dull and repetative. Sure there are a ton of ways to kill zombies, but thats essentially all the game seems to have going for it. Theres no eeriness in the game and nothing to make you think. The only feeling of tension, or should I really say pressure, comes from the race against the clock.

    A relentlessly inventive game worth the price of entry...The experience is flawed -- some might say hampered -- by the save system and curiously designed game structure. But whether you 'get it' or not, Dead Rising nevertheless provides a wealth of secrets and mysteries for both eager gamers and the adventuresome.

    A unique, inventive, and fun game that youll most likely want to play and own due to its huge amount of replayability from random slash-a-thons to side quests and item discovery; you can spend a whole lot of time in this game. Then again if the save system and RPG leveling system turn you off you might be better off renting it first.
