So what's negative about it may I ask? Well anyone with no patience and no skill will say it's too hard. ****
The graphics are good, although they aren't perfect.
The sound is good, but the music for boss fights is really random. For example, when you are facing white convicts there is rap music in the background. When you are facing a crazed deli owner (not a tough boss, you can tell just by that.) there is a mix of hardcore rock and rap in the background. When you're not in a boss fight there is absolutely no music. So my only complaint here is the music.
Imagine GTA+Oblivion+Resident Evil 4 and you have Dead Rising. It has good plot for a zombie game, and despite what I saw one reviewer say, most boss fights to contribute to either the plot or new abilities. Such as one boss is in a gun store, when you beat him there is no addition to the plot, but you gain access to shotguns and smgs, and of course a buttload of experience.
