After I played the demo of Dead Rising i knew i would be in for a gory, zombie infested, treat. But after about 30 minutes of the actuall game play i descovered the horrid saving system. After dying you have to go back to your last save; and you can only save in the bathroom and the security room. This sounds like a pretty good idea at first...but as soon as you get past a mile stone in the story you have low life left so you head for the bath room... but in between you and the bathroom are 500 zombies that want to feast on your brain. After dying a couple times and going back through pretty much all of the game (i only had one chance to save before this paticular missions) i kept dyin, so then my dad comes in and i offer him the controller because after redoing that part of the story so many times i was a bit frusterated... he then makes a new game and plays for about an hour. So then i felt i was up for another try, so i go in there and start up the only save i see... i thought my dad hadn't saved his game... his loss... but to my sad surprise he did.... so after that you can imagine my frusteration.... so i check up on gamespot to see if i hadnt saved my game or something else.... but i soon figure out that Dead Rising only supports one save.....it made me almost want to break the disc at that point... but i didnt.. i just continued on with my dads game... and we have continued to play one story mode...
Pros -seemingly endless amount of ways to hack and slash your way through zombie crouds -the story is quite interesting -having the option to do the story missions or just kill zombies -the graphics are some of the best on the 360, especially the cut scenes -the sound of metal (or anything else for that matter) through zombie is great
Cons -the game is made for one player and one player only -the saving system is one of the worst i have seen -when you miss the time for a missions it is gone forever so you eather have to start the game again or just kill zombies
Overall The cons are over shadowed by sheer greatness of the the rest of the game
A console could never call itself complete without some sort of blockbuster zombie affiliated game lying around in its library. Capcom, who has always been there for the horror genre, has released another zombie thriller... Read Full Review
