    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

    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]
