    This game was one of my favorites in high school, I probably spent too much time playing it instead of chasing girls. But it was an awesome game.

But it was an awesome game. The idea is genius, you're stuck in a shopping mall surrounded by zombies and anything can be used as a weapon. And they really mean anything. Of course, it's most effective to use weapons like katanas, chainsaws, shotguns, and assault rifles all of which are featured in the game. You play the game as Frank West, a photojournalist, who has some experience covering wars so apparently he knows how to use a gun. One cool aspect of the game is sometimes you find other survivors and you can help them get to safety in the saferoom and they can wait for the helicopter ride away from the zombie-infected town. However, there are some survivors who have lost their minds due to the trauma of the predicament and have become psychopaths you must defeat. Some of the psychos are really cool like a crazy clown, a cult leader, and a Vietnam war veteran. The cult leader actually has some followers that wear masks and raincoats that attack you and sometimes try to kidnap you so they can use you in a ritual. Eventually, the U.S. military gets involved and sends in troops to clean up the facility. This is when the game gets difficult, as they have orders to shoot anything or anyone in sight. So on top of the zombies, you also have to contend with military personnel with assault rifles. The game ends with you fighting a corrupt military commander on a tank, and even if you manage to kill him, the ending is left up in the air as it seems that Frank is stranded. Oh well, at least he has the hot sister of the terrorist who was behind it all with him on his side. If you do well enough and get enough achievements you can unlock the megaman costume, the megaman gun, and the megaman lasersword. But that's if you have no life.… Expand

    "Dead Rising" for the Xbox 360 plays like a spoof of "Dawn of the Dead". It's also a spiritual cousin to the company's "Resident Evil" series. This open-world game set in a shopping mall is terrific fun despite a few nagging issues. I would rate it with an 8.3 out of 10.

    its like that dawn of the dead movie (04') but you are Frank the Photographer. great weapon variety and different concepts, good story but theres the thing the voice acting was fine until you look closer during the cutscenes and realize the lip syncing is totally off...boss fights are refreshing and unique in their own right. the game was definitely a console seller at the time.

    When it comes to killing zombies, no one knows it better than Capcom, the makers of Resident Evil.

Unlike Resident Evil, Dead Rising is an action game, with zombies that are much easier to kill but travel in great numbers. So if you ever dreamt of slaughtering thousands of zombies in a mall using everything from plotted plants and frying pans to baseball bats and assault rifles, Dead Rising is all that and a whole lot more. The game has thousands of brainless zombies to mutilate, hundreds of usable items, completely over-the-top gore and is by far one of the most imaginative horror games ever created on Capcom.

    You play as Frank West, a freelance photojournalist who has been to a lot of war zones around the world. However none of that has prepared him for what he sees in a small town of Willamette, Colorado. After being tipped off about the unfolding events, Frank charters a helicopter and flies into town to get images that could take his career sky-high. What he does find is a town overflowing with zombies desecrating everything around them. After being a witness to a scene in which a woman is thrown over the side of a building, Frank instructs the pilot to drop him off on the roof of a local shopping mall. It will take the game 72 game hours for him to figure out what is actually going on before his pilot returns to pick him up. So it's up to you to find the truth, save as many survivors as possible and get back to the chopper to catch your ride home.

    Make sure you gather Prestige Points (PP) when you start up, because Frank's run is as slow as a snail. Leveling up will not only give Frank more speed but also increase his attack damage, throwing distance and melee attack power, helping him to survive. Taking pictures can be a good hobby and you can also level up through Prestige Points by taking interests shots. After having taken a picture you'll be graded on the number of faces in it and the type of shot taken, be it brutal image of a human being torn apart, a dramatic shot like the reunion of the two survivors on the roof at the beginning of the game, or an erotic shot, such as pictures of some of the female character's assets. However, you tend to get so drawn into the zombie-killing parts of the game that you forget to take many pictures.

    Skills can also be gained by reading books that teach you everything from combat to driving a vehicle.

    Another way to earn experience is by accepting missions. Throughout the course of the game, Otis the janitor will call you every 30 seconds – at least that's what it felt like – to give you updates about what is happening in various areas of the mall. The updates Otis offers give Frank many advantages, such as being able to dodge large groups of his undead friends. By finding survivors and returning them to a secure room, Frank earns experience and levels up faster rather than exclusively sticking to the story missions.

    Once you have found and convinced your survivor(s) to follow you, you have a few additional commands at your disposal. You can have Frank command any followers to pick up speed, or you can command them to head to a specific place. You can also equip a few survivors with pistols, axes and just about anything that you can get you bloody hands on. The game includes a large array of murderous tools and Frank can use dozens of objects as weapons against the swarm of zombies. The sports shop will give you stuff like baseball bats and golf clubs, the hardware store offers sickles and chainsaws, and you'll find a variety of firearms at the gun shop. Every item has its own style of attack. While you can smash a zombie using a sledgehammer, you'll also find that a guitar not only has a space-clearing 360-degrees arc, but also hits multiple victims in its path.

    The most unique aspect of Dead Rising is the missions. Each part of the main story is broken down into cases that need to be solved. Since all the case files are connected, failing to complete them will hinder your progress and the trail might just go cold. Making your way through the game is a little tougher than it sounds; largely due to the fact that the game has a frustrating save system and time-based gameplay that will require players to replay large portions of the game repeatedly. You are only allowed to save one game at a time, as any save will overwrite the previous one.

    The overall sound effects in Dead Rising are truly disgusting in the best possible way. The sound of each weapon is created to perfection and some cut through the zombie with an amazing gushing sound. Every weapon makes a totally different sound and each one sounds exactly right…this is what I loved most about this game.

    Dead Rising is not meant for everyone, as it includes tons of violence and gore, but the endless number of possibilities in this game makes it a wonderful addition to almost every Xbox 360 owner's library.    … Expand

    Firstly, the game is really stressful and that is (in my opinion) a good thing. It gives the game a good replayability, because you would want to preform better then the first time you play the game.
    Another thing people expected the game to be was a mall full of zombies and you could just go crazy with all stuff found inside. Well this is somewhat true, and if you don't care about the story that is exactly what the game is so it shouldn't be a disappointment.
    I recently replayed this game from the beginning and then followed by a game+, and it made me realize just how fun the gameplay is and of course how frustrating it is to fail a mission because of the timed story line (It forces the player to think and plan for the upcoming storyline, which I think is a good thing)    … Expand

    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.
