    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Dead Rising 3 is fun and genuinely entertaining. Its packed with open world shenanigans and silly/humorous side quests. The story is interesting and should motivate most who play to the very end. Some may not enjoy the tone as this game takes itself less seriously than previous entries(if you can believe it, as silliness permeates through the franchise).    *Reviewed on Xbox Series X*

    Dead Rising 3 is fun and genuinely entertaining. Its packed with open world shenanigans and silly/humorous side quests. The story is interesting and should motivate most who play to the very end.

    Some may not enjoy the tone as this game takes itself less seriously than previous entries(if you can believe it, as silliness permeates through the franchise). Nick also lacks personal motivation and is generally less interesting than Frank or Chuck, although I did enjoy him as a character overall.

    Technically, the game suffers from graphical issues including weird aliasing. There are very noticeable huge jagged squares, especially in up-close character shots in cutscenes.

    Design-wise, there were some odd choices when it comes to the third person camera. It is way too zoomed in and Nick is always blocking the players view. Annoying.

    Gripes aside, I believe Dead Rising 3 to be a good game game, and a worthy entry in the Dead Rising franchise.    … Expand

    Dead Rising 3 is an entertaining open world experience with a lot of fun things to do that never gets uninteresting. Great weapon selection, decent protagonist, and the psychopaths are fun to fight. This game is not as good as the two before it but is still a fine addition to the great Dead Rising series.

    Years ago, when making my console choice between PS4 and XBone the thing that grinded me the most about having to choose PS4 was that I'd miss out on Dead Rising. I'm that much of a fan of the series. The first Dead Rising was one of the more jaw dropping moments of that generation of gaming for me and one of the first "Next Gen" moments for me. There was so much to do, so much on screenYears ago, when making my console choice between PS4 and XBone the thing that grinded me the most about having to choose PS4 was that I'd miss out on Dead Rising. I'm that much of a fan of the series. The first Dead Rising was one of the more jaw dropping moments of that generation of gaming for me and one of the first "Next Gen" moments for me. There was so much to do, so much on screen it was amazing. So when I saw Dead Rising 3 get pretty average reviews I was somewhat relieved. So when I picked up a XBone one of the first things I got myself was Dead Rising 3 for about £8, When I loaded it up and remembered it was now 4 years old I braced myself for what was likely going to be a pretty dated game that given its reviews probably hadn't aged so well. But I was entirely wrong. DR 3 is a worthy continuation of an already great series and I enjoyed every minute of the 30 odd hours I spent on it.
    GOOD
    - Even for a 4 year old game the amount of zombies on screen is still pretty jaw dropping and I can only imagine how much more it was if you had played this game at launch. The world is diverse and looks great and there is always something to do without feeling pressured by the time limit...
    - The final game to feature a time limit in the series and you can tell they basically included one because it is a staple of the series. The time limit is there but is very lax. This isn't like the first two games where you need to decided what to do or what not to do very often. I missed maybe 2 or 3 side missions mainly because there were on the other side of the map and I couldn't be bothered to travel at the time. I like the choice though. Whilst the first two games relied on the time limit for tension it wasn't for everybody. I didn't mind it because was sometimes annoyed I couldn't have the freedom I wanted because we were on a clock.
    - Plot. Decent enough. I had heard the game had taken a more serious, dark slant and I've no idea if I made that up in my own head or what because it's still the off brand wacky game DR has always been. I suppose the main character shows a bit more emotion, "Old Wide Eyes" as I came to call him from his constant shocked/scared/gaping expression in cutscenes. The characters are on the whole likable and the plot keeps you interested.
    - Survivors. Capcom essentially took one of the more annoying but necessary features of the first two games and turned it into one of the best features of this. Survivors are now less babies you need to escort and protect but your own personal zombie killing army. By the halfway point when you have three survivors armed with good weapons with you then the level of chaos on screen gets hilarious and awesome to see. I rarely was without a band of them by my side and a few issues with them killing people they shouldn't have aside they were almost always a big help. Almost game breakingly so with the right weapons.
    - Combo Weapons. They really one-upped themselves with them. There is an absolute wealth of them available and all are worth trying at least once. Often hilarious, often brutal and nearly always fun to use. Again, like survivors they can be a little game breaking to use but that often made them even more fun. With the right weapons pretty much every boss in the game is hopeless against you.
    - Fun. My whole playthrough was just immense fun. I laughed and grinned most of my way through the whole thing. It's visceral, bloody, wacky and just about doesn't overstay its welcome.

    BAD
    - Speaking of overstaying its welcome, it just barely manages not to. By the endgame there are so many zombies on screen that one of the games great initial points ironically becomes a flaw. You literally can't get anywhere in a hurry but unfortunately that's exactly what the game wants you to do. The distances you have to travel at this point are almost always one end of the map to the other and it gets old, very old slogging through a billion enemies to get there. By this point you've just about had your fill of the game and they only just avoid it being over-long and boring.
    - Challenge. I don't really play a game like this to have my ass kicked by the CPU or anything but DR3 is very easy and with certain combo weapons equipped, laughably easy. I died perhaps 3 times in a playthrough of 30 hours and I'm sure one of those was because I just stopped paying attention.
    -Variety. It felt like the game sacrificed variety of it's internal locations; stores and the like for greater map size. This was a launch game to be fair but around halfway through you figure out that whilst the map is pretty big, there isn't a great amount in it to be found. Now you can't expect too much of a huge world with great attention to detail in this sort of game but this is part of the reason that by the games end, you ready for it to be over.

    Overall this has aged well and is worth picking up    … Expand

One of Dead Rising problems is the plot, which is more or less clear and very poorly done and problematic, not to mention its very poorly developed characters and no charisma. At the end of all Dead Rising 3 is a game average fraught with problems and what was your biggest asset (yes, talking to the porralhada zombies.)

    The Game most fun thing is the incredible coop in a vast zombie open-world. The story is simple, very straight forward, the characters aren't has great has the ones in the first game. And the most fun part is destroying zombies heads with the awesome guns. This is a very fun exclusive, with a poor story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have mixed feelings about this game , I absolutely love the original game , and liked Dead Rising 2 aswell , but I feel like Capcom are stepping away from what made Dead Rising so good. This isn't to say I did not enjoy Dead Rising 3 , as i did and played it for probably more than 100 hours, my problem is it did not live up to my expectations and I feel like it is too little to late with the changes that have been made. Part of the reason i loved the original so much was the feeling of being in an enclosed space , there were lots of interior levels to navigate and shortcuts to find out to get from place to place efficiently. I feel like Dead Rising 3 is less about being methodical and learning the quirks of the game yourself.

    This isn't new to the series either as this trend started with Dead Rising 2 and trying to streamline the series and make mechanics smoother for new players to come in and enjoy the series . Dead Rising 2 brought coop a bigger open world and combo weapons , Dead Rising 3 brings a bigger open world combo vehicles and coop . I don't feel like the massive open world of Los Perdidos does Dead Rising 3 any favours , I get the feeling of lifelessness even in a big open world with thousands of zombies on screen and a fair few survivors to save.

    Blueprints and tragic moments are littered around the map as your collectibles with Frank West statues , which again makes me think Capcom are trying to shift Dead Rising into a series with more appeal to the casual gamer which isn't necessarily a bad thing but with such stiff competition in the "zombie genre" of Video games these days , isn't it better to stand out from the crowd?

    I have mixed feelings on the story too , I feel like this is the sequel storywise to Dead Rising 1 with the way the plot details were used to tie the story together. I was intrigued when this plot detail came up in Dead Rising 1 and wished they would have touched on it in Dead Rising 2 (*SPOILER* Nick ramos is one of the orphans that Carlito had put the zombie virus in to be a ticking time bomb all over the US) but now I feel like it's too little too late.

    This series has a weird sense of progression we've gone from Shopping Mall , to Vegas Strip to a whole city. I feel like it hasn't progressed because the survival elements of Dead Rising fits a more isolated and enclosed setting , otherwise what threat are these massive mobs of zombies you've created? Even though we have these massive sandboxes to play with in Dead Rising 2+3 it misses the intricacies that Dead Rising 1 had with trying to get around and using shortcuts.

    I thought the boss fights in Dead Rising 3 ranged from decent to great , a step above Dead Rising 2 and a notch below Dead Rising 1 in my opinion , i enjoyed a fair few of them and a couple definitely had the creepy , weird vibe of Dead Rising in their character designs. I'm interested to see where this series will go in terms of storyline because of the bombshell that the storyline ends on ( Isabella started the Los Perdidos outbreak to clear her families name from the events of Dead Rising 1) but it makes me question why Capcom didn't include this in the plot of the second game.

    Conclusion : Dead Rising 3 is a good game but not the true sequel Dead Rising has needed since the first game , i'm interested to see where it's going to go storywise but I'm a lot less hyped for a future installment as it seems to be heading away from the direction that I really enjoyed    … Expand

The control mapping is incredibly clunky and the visuals do look very X360. It was awesome to see how many zombies they were able to fit on screen though, but I cant help but think if they had sacrificed some of those unnecessary 'extras' for a visual bump it would have been far better.

In a sense any zombie game is basically stupid. What I do like about this game is that it helps you achieve the simple satisfaction of killing those damn zombies. While it should offer more choices, like a good RPG, it still gives you options for that simple task of blowing the brains off zombies. That makes this game, and more than that, this series, good. But, for the flaws, there must always be those. For me, it's the lag. But also, it's the fetch quests. One can make a unique game and destroy these simplistic rituals. But, this game does not set out to do that. We hold high standards for the games and companies we respect, but just the same, this series is looking to grow. Grow in fanbase, but also grow in their general gameplay. They are doing that with this game. I know I am biased, I do love the simple, stupid gameplay of a zombie hack'n'slash, but at the very least this game acknowledges those desires and builds from them. This game, despite its obvious flaws, still delivers on its promises of stupid, simple zombie slaying. It tries more for story this time around, but while it might not tell a unique story, and still, the story of this game is still trite, it does offer fans of this type of gameplay a new way of seeing this sort of story. That being said, gameplay is the tasting of the pudding, and I very much enjoy the flavors offered by this attempt.… Expand

It's a bit cliche, but adds that Dead Rising charm that kicks it up a notch. You'll meet new and familiar characters that you will wish there was more of. The story this go around actually has some answers to what the first two games set up, involving zombies and conspiracies. The World itself is fun to explore, is bigger, and actually open world (meaning no loading each zone every 2 minutes). I wouldn't say that DR3 is worth getting an xbone (especially since its on pc now), but if you own one or have a pc that can run it, it is worth getting, and even better if a friend has it too.… Expand

    I played the demo and was bored from that. I'm glad the heavens above granted me the foresight not to buy this game. The first two were niche, they were special in their own slightly-above-average way. This game is just more tools, more zombies, rinse and repeat.

    While this game excels at being a well-made and engrossing open-world title, and massively falters at the narrative and the sense of survivability. Granted, the game still has many ruthless moments that will take many tries to perfect but the urgency that was unique of past dead rising games left the game completely. Personally, I was flying along the story making sure to do only the essentials because I though the game would play out like the others with a pressing time limit and hyper sense of "get-it-done."

    However, I beat the narrative with more the enough time by the end. I remember beating the last mission with the clock still forebodingly chiming in that there's only 8 hours left. I had actual done some side missions as well but there was still that much time left. Plus, the storyline is honestly terrible and features a horrible protagonist that is cliche "edgy" and an extreme idiot. The incentive to beat the game to unlock new game plus barely exists because the story is nothing all that fun. The main draw becomes the insanity of the weapons and vehicles that you can create.

    I personally really missed the urgency of past dead rising games even if I found them annoying at the time. Looking back, the clock and restrictions on the game were unique and I honestly want the pulling feeling back. The original is still the king of the series to me,    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game starts out well and boasts a great number of on screen zombies, but this is the main problem I have with the game. You cannot physically move from one place to another easily and cars last about 5 minutes. The side missions are boring as they make you go hunt for items and overall I just feel there is no motivation in this game. I was more frustrated than entertained. If you are a fan of the genre that's fine I'm not looking to start any discussions here. I overall felt the gameplay was laggy, had poor control response, repetitive, and unimaginative. Awesome amount of on screen zombie generation but that's about all your getting. I finished this one and got rid of it. DLC was not interesting either.

    A plus is the psychopaths in the game. This was the funniest part. The boss battle against the crane is beyond silly, the loaders in the factory are annoying and the spec ops guys are beyond tough to kill. This game was a good time killer at best.    … Expand

    A fun, wild waste of time that doesn't really live up to its predecessors.

    Get ready for a new generation of zombie-slaying thrills where there's only minimal gameplay to get in the way of the thrills!

    Out of all the Xbox One launch titles Dead Rising 3 is definitely the most entertaining. There's no denying that mowing down crowded streets full of zombies isn't a guilty pleasure. What Dead Rising 3 lacks, though, is next generation visuals. The game could easily pass as a fancy looking Xbox 360 title. [Feb 2014]
