Grand Theft Auto with Zombies! Sounds great but it's not quite all there yet.

User Rating: 8.5 | Dead Rising X360

Dead Rising is an interesting action game which puts you in a Mall full of Zombies and gives you 72 hours to do what you like, allowing you to use all manner of objects from the shops inside the mall to kill the Zombies.

It's an innovative idea but the presentation isn't quite right. The developers seem intent on taking away the horror element completely and failing to give us suspense and humour.

Being able to use different objects gives the game some depth, but it can get boring. The "Save Status" system doesn't work properly and clashes with the Real Time system. If you can get over these flaws, however, this is a great game. Getting scoops and researching cases while fighting off hordes of zombies and keeping ahead of the time system can be tricky but it gives the game a lot more longevity than mindless zombie slaying. The Photo Mode is also fun, but can become a distraction over time.

I recommend this game if you can find it for a low price, but it isn't worth paying £40 (or $60 dollars.)
