A braaaaain twisting thriller.
User Rating: 9.1 | Dead Rising X360
In Dead Rising you take the role of a freelance reporter who is just looking for a story. He finds himself in a city overran by hordes of zombies. He ends up in a mall where the zombies have infiltrated and the fun begins. This game is quite difficult in my opinion. Others may disagree with me, but thats my take. Many of the psychopaths are quite difficult to defeat, but you are generally handsomely rewarded for your efforts. The zombies themselves aren't all that difficult to manage... until night comes. This is when all hell breaks loose. The zombies can take roughly twice the beating, and seem to me to increase in number. You should really stick to saving survivors in the day if you can. The gameplay is fantastic in Dead Rising. You earn lots of useful hand-to-hand combat moves as you level up. The vast array of weapons, which seems infinite, is very well done. You'll find powerhouses such as Aks and a heavy maching gun as well as novelty weapons such as gumball machines and a lightsaber. You'll find you can run out of ammo very quickly, but you can replenish your ammo for free at anytime at the gunshop. Of course you can pick up any weapon that's laying around if you so wish to go that route. This game isn't the longest I've played but has lots of replay value. You'll definetly need several playthroughs if you wish to save everyone and get the whole experience. Plus you'll just want to, as it is very enthralling and simply engaging. Finally what most 360 owners seem to care about most, the graphics. You will be hard-pressed to find better graphics to date in any game. From spurts of blood to decapitated zombies, you'll almost feel like you were there. Overall this is one of if not the best 360 game to date. Most definetly a must own.
