Do you enjoy zombies, gore, or malls? Well if you do then Dead Rising is the game for you. In Dead Rising you play as a hardcore photographer named Frank West. Evidentially, Frank somehow managed to get his hands on some information of a disaster going on in a small town. Frank takes a helicopter to the town, but is forced to jump out above the town mall. He lands on the ceiling with no idea as to what will happen to him inside. The helicopter will be there to pick him up in three days. You have 72 hours.

Inside of the mall, you can choose to do whatever you would like to, dodging the zombies of course. This gives the player a sense of feeling, but it seems constantly hampered on by the fact that you have to be in certain places at certain times. It just doesn't work. Throughout the game, you encounter various psychopathic characters that make the game seem more life like. The voice acting is decent and you begin to feel as if you are though you are really Frank West.

However, you begin to get tired and annoyed by the constant number of escort quests that you have to do. Also, it seems virtually impossible to save every single survivor in the mall. The controls are also a bit poor.

Dead Rising is a decent attempt at a game. Don't get me wrong, it is entertaining, it just seems as though it could have been so much better. I like to think of it as a beta version of a great game. Dead Rising had potential; I just hope it uses more of it on the sequel.
