Killing Zombies have never been this fun... but be sure to get an HDTV before you play...
This game is pretty hard. Every boss (aka psychopath) take a while to take down. It get's pretty annoying when your trying to get through the story since the zombies are always in your way. Overall, every corner you turn, there are zombies.
It starts out pretty cool, your Frank West, a photographer trying to get photos on what's happening in a town that the military has blocked off from everyone. Your in a helicopter taking pictures of some crazy !@#$ going on in the town, then you go to the shopping mall, which is the biggest zombie infested place in the town. Then you start the story, which kinda sucks...
Why? Well, I'm not going to spoil anything, but don't get too excited on why there are zombies. Your going to be saying, "...That's it? THAT'S IT!!?? WTF!!!??"
But don't let this keep you from getting the game, remember, your playing the game for one purpose only, to kill lots of zombies, and boy are there a lot! What the trailers show you are real in the game. I passed through more than 200 zombies in one small section of the mall. If you think that's a lot though, just go to the maintenance tunnels.
Just about any object you can see in the game, you can use as a weapon. Guns, Shovels, cans, garbage cans, cash registers, plants, toys, plates, CD's, skateboards, hangers, wood, knives, food, soccer balls, and even the zombies. That's not even 1/3 of the stuff you can pick up.
When you play the game, you will immediately notice the very small text. The only way you can read it clearly is to switch to HD. People that don't have one are gonna have to try to read it.
One big tip I can give you in this game is SAVE CONSTANTLY! There are save points scattered throughout the mall. That's pretty good right? I don't think so. Every game needs an auto save feature. If you don't save, you're gonna have to start over.
So, Dead Rising is a great game, I don't really like the story, I don't like the small text, I am a little disappointed on the save feature, but I love the game play, I love using everything as a weapon. I LOVE crashing through thousands of zombies with a shopping cart heading for a restaurant to get orange juice. Dead Rising is great! 8.5/10
