User Rating: 8 | Dead Rising 3 XONE

Dead Rising 3 is a great game. Better than the 7 rating it received by Gamespot. I would give it an 8.5 (any less than a 8 is ridiculous). I wanted to write a review, but I wanted to complete the game first (1000 Gamerscore). I completed the game once by myself, once in co-op and once on Nightmare Mode by myself. I collected everything across the three completions. Your skills and collectibles always carry over so you don't have to worry about collecting everything on your first attempt. My favorite melee weapon is the Electric Rake and favorite guns are the Jazz Hands. The Ultimate Shout, Flaming Sword and the ZAR are nice as well. There are also many other weapon & vehicle combos which are fun to use, but the above five weapons are what you should use in Nightmare Mode. The game is a great game. The weapon selecting, the running, jumping, punching, kicking, stomping are all done so well. The weapon creation, the vehicle driving, the zombie killing is better than the three previous games. I will agree with the Gamestop review that the missions are short, but completing the missions are fun as you go through hoards of zombies to complete the tasks. The game is definitely worth buying and keeping to play over and over again. I plan on playing the game many times over jumping in and helping others online and playing the game on Nightmare Mode again to see how many missions I can complete before time runs out. This is a game (and series) not to overlook.
