I really wanted to like this game. I enjoyed the demo, but wasn't blown away. I read great things about it, thought I was missing out, so I decided to buy it.

RENT FIRST!!! This game has limited replayability. Granted, the developers are banking on the fact that you will play this game through a number of times to get different endings. However, this assumes you can stand to make it through just ONE ENDING...

Where to start? Okay...
1) Horrible aiming scheme. Trying to shoot someone before they shoot you is a difficult enough task. What makes it worse is the fact that five shots can kill you, while it takes fifty or sixty to kill the other guy! Not exaggerating!!

2) Stupid time limits!! This takes a lot of fun out of the so-called "sandbox-style" gameplay. When there is so much to do, you can't sidetrack because you're on the clock. No fun!

3) Bad Save game mechanic. Only One Slot!!!! If you mess up, TOO BAD, you have to start from scratch!!! 4) I am too bored to continue complaining about all the ways I am disappointed in this game. And, no, I will not be interested in a Dead Rising 2!!!
