    I love this game! It had the interesting Day One edition also. I always loved survival horror of Dead Rising 3 with all the zombies.

    Aunque muchos lo describen como un mal sucesor de la saga, el estilo oscuro le da un aire fresco a la saga, agregando el concepto de los autos combo ademas de que mejoraron todos los aspectos técnicos que tenían, el punto negativo es que ya no le dieron importancia a sus personajes y redujeron el nivel de profundidad de los psicópatas.

    Dead Rising 3 wraps up the original story for the series and it does so in an epic way and leaves no loop holes in the series. It had the second strongest story after Dead Rising 2 and it is a very good game. It was the last game made by the original Capcom Vancouver team cause Dead Rising 4 was made by a separate branch.

It had the second strongest story after Dead Rising 2 and it is a very good game. It was the last game made by the original Capcom Vancouver team cause Dead Rising 4 was made by a separate branch. It took me awhile to get into this game cause a lot of the magic that Inafune gave the series is gone since he left by the time this game was being made. I'm someone that has 100%ed every Dead Rising game on 360 and I adore this series. While Dead Rising 3 was a launch game for last gen, it still holds up today. The map takes a little getting used to as there's roadblocks when the city was quarantined and there are crashed vehicles everywhere, but I came to appreciate the map. This game truly feels like a larger scale Dead Rising game and I really enjoy Nick and his character progression. The combo weapons and collectibles are great and I also enjoy the survivor quests. While psychopaths are goofy, they still are fun to fight and are better than Maniacs from the fourth game. I highly recommend this game even if you didn't like the earlier games cause the timer is incredibly relaxed. You have 7days in game and that's plenty of time to mess around and play at your own pace. I messed around a lot and completed all of the survivor and psychopath quests while doing the story and I had 2 days left in game before the bombs were to be dropped. This was the last good Dead Rising game in my opinion and you can find it for $10 in most places. I played this on Xbox One X and the graphics and zombies are still amazing to this day. The detail in killing zombies isn't something that I see in other zombie games cause they can be missing half of their chest, their head, or legs, and they still try to harm you.… Expand

    game that I thought I would not like but that I think is the best dead rising they have ever done. good open world with good combination of main missions with psychopaths, a good story and the most important of this game with many great zombies combination of weapons to be able to kill them in many different ways

    Dead Rising 3 is a culmination of everything that was presented in the previous entries: Cheesy story, streets swamped with the undead, crossdressing and the ridiculous combo weapons. DR3 brings things up a notch by adding a much higher number of on-screen zombies (thanks to it being on a current gen system) You'd think that would be a good thing, it is and isn't.

DR3 brings things up a notch by adding a much higher number of on-screen zombies (thanks to it being on a current gen system) You'd think that would be a good thing, it is and isn't. Sure, there is an added challenge to having to deal with more zombies, but it doesn't give you enough breathing room to truly enjoy everything that Los Perdidos has to offer. (Which is a lot)

    The combo weapons are back in higher numbers but suffer for way too many similar variations of a weapon. (Just look at the plush bear combos, there are like 8 or 9 FFS!!) Granted there are some that stand out and are still pretty fun to use. Kinda like the gun glove or lightsaber that still don't get old to me. Combo VEHICLES have also been put into this! Initially I was impressed but was let down by there only being 7 types to make. (Excluding the junk varieties)

    The game itself is fun and enjoyable, but gets old due to there being no real tension to get things done. Sure, side quests and the main story are still on a clock. But it takes a LONG time for you to screw that up.

    If you do the side quests, you'll most likely see almost everything there is to explore on the island and if you complete the DLC, you will for sure.

    As for the additional content, the side stories do flesh out some things and explain some of the events not fully covered in the main story. They aren't necessary, but are worth it, especially for the new toys you get to play with!

    The final piece of the content is an arcade beat em' up version of the game that allows you to play as all of the protagonists in the series and has them in some hilarious cosplay outfits like Chun-li, Captain Commando and Felicia. (Which is Nick dressed as catgirl, F*ckin hilarious!) Honestly, it's the best out of the DLC and was pretty fun to play!

    Overall, the game is a step up from Dead Rising 2 and OTR (Which were pretty good, too!)
    The massive hordes do tend to take the joy out of exploring, but it is balanced when taking out your frustration out on them with an electrified rake. As for the story, it is a bit more on the serious side and does tie into the other games pretty well. But it doesn't in any awards.    … Expand

    Great open world teeming with life (and un-life) and an excellent continuation of the franchise, adds in more wacky combo items than you could wish for, and for a launch game was incredibly polished and fleshed out. The series trademark control scheme is still an issue, but things are improving on that front, albeit slowly.

    It is the best game of zombies that I have seen in my life, a very well done world, stunning graphics, a very complete story, a good story, good arguments, if you're a fan of zombies this game you will love and will leave without words, but what has the game is the amount of arms yourself you can build and who would ever think that that could be used as a weapon.

    The thing about the Dead Rising series is that it's pretty unique. Killing hordes of zombies with a huge variety of improvised weaponry isn't a genre present anywhere else. It's a great game to just mess around in, picking up random clothing, smashing zombie heads in and fighting away psychopaths. I can't recommend Dead Rising 3 enough.

    I went into Dead Rising 3 with very little knowledge or expectations and was quite happily surprised. This game is probably an 8.5 out of 10... If I was rating it right after playing it I might round up to 9, today I will probably round down to 8. I do remember having a lot of fun with it and being impressed with the variety of weaponry and vehicles I could kill zombies with.

    First game on my Xbox One. It was amazing experience. We can do whatever I want. Destroy everything around, kill thousands of zombies, start funny missions etc etc. Crafting is purely impossible. So many types of weapons or vehicles!. The game is pure fun for zombie fans, brings lots of happiness. One of the most addictive games.

Despite it's story being the cheesiest story I'd ever played through in video games, Dead Rising 3 was close to perfect.

The combat, although repetitive, NEVER got old for me, and by the end of the game, my zombie kill-count had reached 30'000. Dead Rising 3 offered a creative crafting system as your character is able to stumble through the street, pick up any small inanimate object, and if you've found the proper blueprint, you're able to combine certain items together to create powerful weapons that let you effortlessly slash through hordes of zombies with the tap of a button. Also, the game lets you throw any non-firearm objects at zombies, like bricks, knives, swords, axes, televisions, microwaves, and hundreds of other kinds of items. Aside from all that cool stuff, the game has a smart built-in system that gives you 6 days (in game) to escape the zombie infested city of Los Peridos before it gets bombed, which makes sure you don't waste ALL your time slicing through hordes of zombies, and that you focus on progressing through the campaign, and completing the story.… Expand

    I really love this game. I have played it for well over 200+ Hours into the game. In many reviews I have heard complaints the world is too big, I think it could have been even bigger. The frame rate sometimes slows down especially at the later parts of the game when there are more zombies shambling around but that is minor and few and far between.

    I loved playing this game Co-Op and I think that is where the game shines. It is an absolute joy playing this with friends. Even my son enjoyed playing with me online.

    I only have a few complaints. I bought the Season Pass from the start and even though the DLC was enjoyable and lent to further explaining the events it was not Co-Op and it was very glitchy with regards to achievements.

    There was also another DLC that added a really fun 4 player Co-Op Competition which I enjoyed but alas was way too short and not enough missions to play.

    The integration of the IR sensor , the Kinect, and Smart Glass was flawless on this game and a glimpse as to what can really be done. Smartglass missions while sometimes reminded me of Animal Crossing side missions lent some depth to the story if you followed them unto the end. Sadly no other games have really followed suite and with the sale of Kinect-less consoles I fear this integration that was so revolutionary will be lost.    … Expand

    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]
