Dead Rising is a game for the Xbox 360. It is sort of based off the cult film Dawn of the Dead. You play as a wartime photojournalist named Frank West that is looking for the next big story of the century. Frank gets a tip that something big is going to happen in the small town of Willamette, Colorado. When Frank West gets to the small town of Colorado he finds biggest story you can get the undead rising. He tells the pilot drop him off at the mall and pick him up in three days. As he enters the mall he finds a band of survivors trying to barricade the door from the undead. When Hank tells him to find supplies to barricade the doors the undead break in start attacking the living or anything in their way. Frank Degets pass the hundreds of undead in his way to the stairways. When he gets up the stairs he is confronted by Brad (Homeland Security Agent). Frank asks Brad what happening but Brad says he doesn’t know what is happening. When he reaches the security room Otis welds the entrance door to the security room so no undead can get in.

That is a taste of the story of Dead Rising. As l stated in the first sentence of my review it’s an Xbox 360 game and a good one. Frank West can use anything in the mall of Willamette up to guitars to guns and my favorite the samurai sword. In the game there are about fifty survivors in the mall that find can only find on a certain day. As you play the game Otis calls you not only about where survivors are but the location of psychopaths you can dodge or decide to fight to the death. When you defeat enough psychopaths in the game you unlock points towards your Game score card and your XBL live account you can use to buy games or wallpaper. Also if you defeat psychopaths you can get some special weapons that will help you a lot during the game. When you progress in the game more of the undead get into the mall and it gets a lot harder to get around the mall.

Around day two in the game the convicts break into the park of the mall with a military jeep armed with a M60 machine gun and cult members decide to kill the unclean (Frank). As I stated in the psychopaths sentence you can dodge them or fight them to the death. On day three the special forces come in to clean up the mess by killing every little thing in their way and they bring a new weapon with them a M16 or M4 machine gun. Also on day three Frank makes his escape from the hellhole of the mall with all the people he saved during the three days. If you beat all the cases during the three days you get a mode named Overtime Mode. In Overtime mode you get then extra day in the because he have been infected with the virus that turns the living into the undead. As you continue the story in Overtime you find out that the queen bees(the ones who spread the virus) also have the cure in their body. Dead Rising is a great game to get achievement points and the game play is superb because of the very set up controls. Also the AI of the enemies and bosses are one very tough to fight off. In my opion on the music during the boss battles that is it great that they got some good indie bands and artists to make music for the battle fights. In the end Dead Rising is a must own if you own a 360.
