Hmm, the chainsaw, or the 2x4?

User Rating: 8.8 | Dead Rising X360
Ok, this game is a zombie slaughter fest that can unfold itslef in many ways and can end in only so few. For example, in one game playthrough, you could choose to do the story. But wait, the story got boring so you go and kill some psychos and save some survivors to gain PP and levels. Then when you've got the desired level, you attempt the story again and beat it. This is, for the most part, how you'll end up playing Dead Rising.

To start, the gameplay is extremely addictive. Even though smashing a zombie to death seems like it would get boring, the number of ways in which you could do it would keep it from getting that way pretty well.

The graphics though, are another story althogether. For a next gen game they really arent all that stunning. The way everything looks is still pretty good, but overall, they generally dont come close to the way GoW or even CoD 2 looked. However, this doesn't subtract from the game all that much.

The best way to keep from getting bored here, is to just do side quest (aka Scoop Missions) and killing non-story related psychos. Other than that, this game has a pretty large amount of replay value. Hope you enjoy if you do decide to buy it.
