    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.

    *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).    *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

    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 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

    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

    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. 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.

Et pourtant ! et pourtant si Dead Rising n'est pas devenu bon, il est devenu presque acceptable...

    Quelques détails symptomatiques du particulièrement mauvais "game design" ont été lissés comme la sauvegarde qui n'impose plus d'aller aux gogues ou la possibilité de fabriquer des armes à la volée. Et les véhicules ! la partie vraiment réussie du jeu qui se marie à merveille à ce bac à sable désormais assez grand pour boulotter du zombi à une cadence industrielle. Du coup, il est possible en farmant comme un gros porc de se construire un perso enfin moins balourd et nul à chier.

    En ce qui concerne le reste, on surnage toujours quoi qu'il en soit dans le maniement foireux, le même inventaire merdique, les QTE à foison, les boss bien lourds, l'histoire sans intérêt et les missions chronopost. Le remplissage affecte bien entendu la carte truffée de conneries à récupérer et ramasser pour les victimes de la collectionnite. Le temps limité demeure pour la campagne et le reste, ce qui implique de recommencer de nombreuses fois pour tout faire : principe complètement con dans un monde ouvert !

    Techniquement si le jeu n'est qu'en 720p, il n'en est pas moins agréable à l'oeil et maintient son 30 im/s malgré le nombre astronomique de morts vivants à l'écran, rapidement écrasés et éviscérés. Naturellement gore et riche en hémoglobine, il satisfait les instincts primaires avec un empressement étonnant. Enfin, dernier bon point (si, si, je vous jure) Dead Rising 3 est entièrement doublé en français, un doublage de qualité qui plus est !

    Tout bien considéré, la licence Dead Rising a toutes les cartes en main pour devenir éventuellement un excellent jeu un jour ou l'autre si Captron se sort les doigts et prend des leçons de "game design" (on ne sait jamais). Présentement ce DR3 n'est qu'un brouillon bordélique et mal dégrossi qui parvient à divertir de temps à autre... c'est déjà une petite révolution en soi !

    PS : signalons que DR3 se signale par un patch de 16 Go (seize gigas ouais ouais ouais) et qu'il se permet de grossir de 7 Go à l'issue, grimpant ainsi à 27 au lieu de 20 : c'est le contenu des DLC, prêt à être acheté...    … Expand

    It seems Dead Rising 3 has missed the point of why we are wanting to play the game. It clearly shows in the poorly written story, bland characters, and far too easy difficulty. It assumes we are wanting to play the game to depose zombies with wacky weapons and wear goofy clothes. While that is all in fun, but without a half decent story, believable characters, or a challenge this game doesn't have much legs to stand on. If you aren't interested in the story or can't relate to the characters you don't have much incentive to keep playing. Once you've tried all the weapons your going to get bored with game fast.

    You could go back and play any of the older games despite being at max level still face some challenge, but that is not the case for this game. Once you are maxed out, you are basically a god. Especially with any of the over powered gun combo weapons. I didn't find myself dying once through out my several play throughs. The only way you could die is if you were actively trying to kill yourself. You might as well be playing a flash game for three year olds that is how easy the game is. Even playing on nightmare mode which is basically Dead Rising 3's hard mode which was supposed to make the game's difficult more on par with the first game which was the hardest one in the series. It didn't make the game any harder. It just made the game play a bit more inconvenient.

    You have six in game days to complete the story before its too late, but don't worry the game's overly easy difficulty ruins the timed aspect of the previous games. Its possible to complete the game's story all within the first day in approximately 3-4 hours, 2 if you skip all the cut scenes and do none of the side missions. On top of these many complaints, Capcom expected players to play $30 for 4 dlc, that added barely 2 hours of additional story in total and tons of collectibles and challenges to pad the game's total play time. Not to mention there is a 5th dlc that isn't covered by the season pass costing you additional $10 which is a repetitive and boring mini game type arcade game.

    Do not buy this game if you enjoyed all of the previous games.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

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 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

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

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).

    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

    Like its predecessor, Dead Rising 3 has a lot of the common mistakes of an unpolished game. A poor storyline, bad dialogue, stupid A.I. and a truly horrific combat experience are among the worst qualities of this action zombie game.

    The zombies, though numerous and scary looking, are buggy, glitching through walls, like in the previous title– mind you I played Dead Rising 2 in the upcoming days of the release of this game, and it was still a buggy, unfinished mess. But surely this time it will be different!

    Having the ability to craft weapons everywhere seems well placed in a game such as Dead Rising, and is definitely a step in the right direction. No need to complicate the game any further, mashing buttons is hard enough as is. It is too bad, however, that when you find a blueprint, there are always matching items for the recipe right next to you. In fact, it seems that most every weapon that you find is near another weapon that you can combine with it! Awesome, right? No - it takes away the very experience of the craft weapons, making them as mundane as if you were to simply pick up a regular one. But I guess that you do get half a cutscene to watch, every time you craft a weapon. And there is a new attribute system. Neat!

    Yes, surely Capcom cares about delivering a good product to us, the consumers. This cannot be yet another example of unoriginal, unpolished, uninteresting undead action garbage. Did someone say day-one DLC? More DLCS to come? We should all purchase this game and its coming extra material; we should have even pre-purchased it, despite pirates having access to it days before us. It’s not like we have anything better to spend our money on, right?

    TLDR:

    Dead Rising 3 is not worth buying, just like Dead Rising 2 was never worth buying. Do not let yourselves be convinced by expensive trailers and paid off reviewers – this game is, I am sorry to say, just another example of overhyped trash.    … Expand

    Overall I found DR3 to be a pretty fun game: The game world is huge (but still not anywhere near the size of an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game), the story line is actually pretty decent for this genre and there are a ton of side quests to do, there are tons of zombies on screen and tons more to kill, the weapon variety is great and the weapon/vehicle synthesis is a fun feature.

    On the flip side, the graphics are pretty sub-par; there are 360 games that look much better than DR3. Once you get around the max level I find the game starts to get boring really fast.    … Expand

    Dead Rising 3 is an awesome game. The story is fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. The gameplay is fluid thanks to a variety of weapons. My only complaint is that the game crashed about three times on me.

    This is just a pretty bad game in a lot of ways, I'd avoid it. The graphics are awful for a supposedly next gen game, there's nothing the 360 couldn't do really, everyone says it's the number of zombies on screen that makes this next gen but to be honest, Dead Rising 1 had plenty and that was a much tighter game control wise too, and it was better aesthetically in my opinion.

    There's a plane featured at the very beginning of the game, and it looks like it came straight out a PS2 game, the controls are wonky and all over the place on the controller and the story is non-existent.

    When I got Dead Rising 2 for free with Games for Gold on X360, I was not a fan of the game. The constant time limit that was on side quests and the main story in the game just sucked the fun out of so much in the game, collecting Zombrex was annoying, the combat was slightly dull, and the game was too harsh on you in other points.

The constant time limit that was on side quests and the main story in the game just sucked the fun out of so much in the game, collecting Zombrex was annoying, the combat was slightly dull, and the game was too harsh on you in other points. Thankfully, with Dead Rising 3, it throws away all that BS, but it doesn't make the game perfect. Yes, DR3 is hands down one of my favourite games on Xbox One, but that doesn't mean it has its fair share annoyances. Let's start with the graphics. Overall, the game did please my eyes. Textures up close looked muddy, though. Then again, the game makes up for all the small flaws in the graphics with how many zombies it puts on screen. There might be so, so, so many in a small street, and the game needs that because you will kill A LOT with the creatively awesome weapons you use. The weapons by themselves are pretty basic and boring, but if you find the blueprints around the city, you can combine those things into killing machines. While the combat with these weapons is basically just light and heavy attacks, it gets very varied because of how different and awesome these weapons are. They can range from flaming giant scythes to a shotgun with a blade on it. I constantly had fun killing countless numbers of zombies, but the zombies won't stop coming at you, and that got challenging at points (not a flaw). The game also makes you fight human enemies at times known as psychos. These boss fights aren't amazingly designed, but they were a good break from fighting zombies. The city you roam around in the game is meh. I actually liked the setting of Dead Rising 2 because I felt one area was always different than the last. The city here is more urban, so they weren't very creative with it. Plus, it seemed like I always came across roadblocks when I was driving a car, which was annoying. The story here is ok. What I really disliked, though, is the constant change of tone in the game. One minute you'll hear a sex joke, then the next you'll be grieving over the death of a loved one. I wish they just focused on one, single tone. Dead Rising 3 is not a perfect game, no, not even close. However, it offers the one and only thing I really want in games: a good time. And that's what I want, first and foremost.… 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

    Starting with the good, the thousands of zombies is cool, and the home made weapons are fun. That said, the story line is really annoying, and the boss fights are pathetic, out of place, and ruin the feel of a zombie apocalypse. Also,This absolutely is not an open world game!!! It is as linear as a game can be. A true disappointment

    Incredibly fun game, even if the story is far-fetched. There is nothing horrible or unplayable about this game other than a slow-down when there are too many explosions and zombies in one screen. It is worth the full price, compared to Ryse: Son of Rome.

    This is the first Dead Rising game I've played and I have enjoyed it but there are a few things to note before someone makes a decision to purchase this game. When I searched Googled DR3 what I was looking for was someone saying the game had no time limit. What I found was a mixed set of responses stating that there wasn't a time limit if you selected a certain story mode option and othersThis is the first Dead Rising game I've played and I have enjoyed it but there are a few things to note before someone makes a decision to purchase this game. When I searched Googled DR3 what I was looking for was someone saying the game had no time limit. What I found was a mixed set of responses stating that there wasn't a time limit if you selected a certain story mode option and others say that there is a time limit it's just more than 3 days.

    So I purchased the game and discovered that there IS a time limit and it is more than 3 days. I have been unsuccessful in finding any way to remove the time limit. Although the time limit that is given is more than enough to complete the game and side missions so the time limit isn't a huge bust but it is a negative factor.

    When I discovered you can recruit survivors and give them weapons I became excited and made it a personal goal to recruit several survivors. I don't feel that the AI for the survivors was very well thought out, sometimes they'll shoot zombies at a fairly decent distance and other times they won't. One thing I did notice is they never run out of ammo. I handed 5 survivors assault rifles and LMG's and I never had to swing my weapon. While it would be troublesome to constantly have to worry about your survivors, it takes from the realism of a survival game if you have unlimited ammo. I was able to walk through several crowds of zombies without ever being in danger as my team decimated any opposition.

    The story line isn't all that interesting. It seems to be that almost all zombie games and movies always show the government killing the innocent and they're going to bomb the area and you have to get out before it's too late. Developers need a new approach to getting out alive in the game, we already have a zombie apocalypse on our hands why add the government trying to kill everyone to it?

    Let's talk about the soldiers that we have to fight, the AI specifically. I've seen several shows and movies that involve SWAT, government agents, soldiers, etc and yet I can't recall when they ran toward the enemy in the open while being shot at. I had a set of soldiers hide behind a car from me and I was hiding on the same side of that same car.

    The endurance of weapons seems to be on topic in other posts and it should be. Swords break from killing zombies? This doesn't make sense at all. Bladed weapons shouldn't be breaking after a handful of swings against zombies or breaking at all for that matter.

    Safe houses. Getting to a safe house can be quite the nightmare if you don't know what you're looking for. When I first started playing I didn't know about safe houses or clearing them out. I read on the map that this location was an "Infested Safe House" and I knew what needed to be done but I circled this location for about an hour without any luck. There wasn't a way to set a way point pointing to the exact location, I didn't know about the little symbol that somewhat explains which way you need to go. All I saw was a symbol on the map and I was standing there constantly fighting zombies. I had to Google the location of the safe house only to find that it was above me. Not the most intuitive map.

    The number of zombies in the game. The quantity is never a problem in this game the problem is that you can NEVER clear an area permanently. I understand that if you cleared the whole city you wouldn't have much left to fight but in the interest of realism, once you clear a massive area of zombies it should stay cleared. If the survivor's didn't have unlimited ammo then clearing the city would be an extremely difficult task. I've cleared an area only to find myself run in a huge circle and those same zombies are back.

    Combining weapons. Weapon combinations tend to be neat but in most cases it's purely fictitious. While there's generally nothing wrong with stretching the laws of realism in a game to add to the experience, some of the weapons you can create can be completely useless and may make you chuckle a little bit but that's as far as it goes. The point behind this is the developers could have spent that time working on the AI of the enemies/survivors but instead they chose to create a weapon that shoots "Massager's".

    One bug I've run into which worked in my favor but a bug is a bug nonetheless. One of my survivors died shortly after I saved him and when I went to the safe house after saving another survivor, I took her out of my posse, put her back in my posse, exited the menu, saved, went back into the survivor list and the survivor that was killed was now available in my list and I have been using him.

    Overall. DR3 isn't a terrible game. It does have a time limit but it's longer than previous DR games. The map isn't very intuitive in most cases. The AI of the soldiers/survivors is rather weak. The story line of the game isn't innovative or new at all. Weapons break too quickly and some weapons that shouldn't break do. Survivors have unlimited ammo.    … Expand

    Ultimately this is a fun @ss game; it's an open world shooter, with hundreds of zombies in all directions. The map is a good size, and there's not loading. The graphics could have been better (during the cut scenes), but they are anything but "bad". They are hit & miss (some characters look really good; others are just okay - comparing to what we think "next gen" should look like). However, the graphics (in-game) are better than any other "open world" shooter, we've played previous gen. The only negatives is that there is still a time limit (despite them claiming there is not), and you're always in the story mode.. Keep in mind that the time limit is extended so far that you don't have to worry about it, but still... it's besides the point. You can also free roam and do your own thing throughout the game (even though your technically always in story mode). I would have liked them to make a separate game type (or say, after you beat the game) that allowed total free roam without the story & time limit, that allows you to just blow crap up. Technically, you can do that anyways (believe me, time limit is not an issue); maybe it's OCD, I would have just liked to see a separate free roam selection. Although, you can always just join a multiplayer game (into someone else's story) and just f' around.

    I love the fact they gave players more time to mess around killing zombies, building weapons and vehicles, exploring the world for blueprints and survivors, etc.
    Capcom designed this game to be an arcady, japanese style zombie killing game. The shooting isn't supposed to be realistic. You can combine a cardboard box with a foam finger to create a poking gun to kill zombies with. (is that not hilarious?) So the graphics are literally 8th or 9th on their list for importance. If you played DR2, Dead rising 3 has amazing graphics comparably. The graphics are probably the only reason for the fps drops and fade in textures from distances.
    The controls are smoother than before and there are a ton of player upgrades and abilities. I love it

    All in all, if you like the Dead Rising franchise, this game takes Dead Rising to a new level. 8.5/10 for me    … Expand

    Dead Rising 3 is a great game. It's funny and fun. My favorite weapon is the thrust cannon. It shoots out fire and ice, is very powerful, and the design is hilarious. Get this game. You won't regret it.

There is such a wide variety of missions, weapons, and enemies. It's tough to get bored of finding new ways to kill zombies - just when I would think I loved using one weapon, a new weapon would come along and become my favorite to use. The same idea goes for enemies and mission types; the game evolves as you become more experienced so that it doesn't overly easy. While the graphics can be a little off during cut scenes or when you travel too quickly using a fast vehicle, they are generally smooth. The game's engine is dynamite. There are thousands of zombies, all with their own, specific coding. Just when you think you've cleared an area, you turn the corner and BOOM, there's another thousand zombies to mow down. Being the first game I played on Xbox One, I feel that there is certainly a little bias. However, Dead Rising 3 is a game that will entertain you for days.… 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]
