Zombi holocaust
User Rating: 9.4 | Dead Rising X360
Zombies, the undead, brain eaters, walking corpses etc. Choose whatever term you want, but they're fun as hell to kill no matter what you call them. And no game, in my opinion, has mastered the time-tested art of zombie killing as well as Dead Rising. You can kill these buggers in almost any way you can imagine. You can go the old fashioned route and put a bullet into their head, or...use a lawnmower and watch as limbs and blood go flying as you run over a vast horde of undead. Speaking of blood...it's absolutely fantastic in this game. When you slice a zombi in two with a katana (diagonally) it flies EVERYWHERE., and in a realistic fashion. The vast showers that spew out of the nech after you've popped a zombie's head (literally) with a sniper round is also satisfying. Another nice effect is the motion blur. This is the first game I've ever played the uses it so well. Hell, I spent minutes making the camera zoom around just to gape at it. Now, on to gameplay. The analog setup is a bet confusing at first. You will look around as you roam the vast mall with the upper left analog stick. But, when you pull out a gun or throwable object, you use the right analog stick to aim, and you are completely immobile. But, if you've played Resident Evil 4, this shouldn't be a problem. This game is not without its fair share of glitches however. The most annoying one, would have to be the respawning convicts in the central park. You made those bastards eat lead the first time around, but get ready to look on in horror as you lead the pair of survivors you just found through said park and get run over and shot by those damned prisoners in their jeep. Other than this though, the game's flawless. I know, I know, some of you people may be frustrated with the save system (you can only have one save slot per profile), but I think this help add to the fun-factor. For too long, we've been pampered with the quicksave feature. What's so hard about a game where you die and respawn at a point thirty seconds before? That's right, it isn't hard. Anywho, Dead Rising is one of teh best games out on the 360 now, and I highly recommend it to anyone over 17 (there's alot of gore in this game kiddies, I'm not joking). So, get it, pop in the disk, and get ready to fulfill any fantasies you've had about beating a zombie to death with a plastic toy sword or mannequin
