I can't say I do at this moment in time. I have had it for over a year and haven't played that much of it. Reason being, its very frustrating. Running about the mall killing zombies using practically anything is endless fun, but the missions are what I hate. Seriously, I hate escort missions and the 'boss' like battles are far too hard unless I go through and get my stats up, but I am not really wanting to do that.

I do plan on getting back into the game, eventually, but not at the moment. Who knows, I may end up liking it in the future but as of now, I do not.

Hell yeah Dead Rising is nice, the perfect game for blowing off some steam by taking a bat and give zombies a good wallop in the face :)

i enjoyed it all around. For those of us who grew up with the atari, nes, sega, etc, the save system was simple. Everyone moaned and complained about it but it's nothing compared to the old systems in say ninja gaiden or megaman on the nes. It reminded me of the original RE and the typewriter. You had to think about when and where you were going to save. Kind of takes the fun out of a game if you get to save every 10 seconds.

One of my favorite games on the 360, though it can get a little bit stressful sometimes.

I liked it a lot. They really over exaggerated with you can use ANYTHING in the mall but it's still a really awesome game. The game really isn't that hard. I don't see why 3 quarters of this thread struggled with boss fights etc. The saving system could have been better but I didn't mind. The only complaint I have was the AI when you escorted people. It was pretty bad. I still managed to get Saint though only losing 1 person :D.

It can be frustrating with the save system and the timer. However it is a good game and once you beat it once it has some good replay value. I would recommend buying it.

Eh. It was ok. The saving was stupid and made the game not worth it.

It's so frustrating at times, makes me want to punch something. I am trying to go through it again though, partially because I feel I judged it unfairly and my XBL ran out so why not right?

ok dead rising is way too hard. the shooting controls suck, the fact that you have to run across the whole damn mall just to get a decent weapon sucks, trying to escort some retard who needs to hold your hand through a park filled with zombies and dudes on a jeep shooting at you sucks, if you take too long to do a story mission, you'll finish it then find out that you missed the deadline for the next mission, and the game ends and you have to restart the entire game. that sucks, and you can only get health back by eating food, which is only found in restaurants, and if your nowhere near a retauraunt which most times you arent, your comepletely screwed and have to restart from your last save. also the fact that weapons break if you use them too much is completely gay and messes up the game.

I cant believe so many people say they didnt like this game, the game was awesome and the save system made perfect sense, if you dont want to buy it then ro rent it, I rented it for like a month when it first came out but I just bought it like 2 months ago for like 29 bucks and it was a steal.

dead rising is one of those games that i can't say enough good things about. ppl who say the save system is broken simply just don't understand how the game is suposed to work.

I liked it as a demo, but when I bought the game, I got bored of it after a while. I would give it a rent imo.

Initally no, i got frustrated as hell with it mainly because of the save system. But then i came back to it and had a blast. It is an awesome game if you accept the save system for how it is and you play the game around it!599USDollarsHEH

Exactly the same experience for me. The first time I picked it up, I was just unwilling to learn it because there were too many things that just bothered me. The save system, and no way to shut Otis up on the radio.... But once I gave it a shot again later, it quickly became one of my favorite 360 games (even today).

I grew to understand the save system as well though... the majority of the mall is unsafe for obvious reasons, so you need to get to a safe room/area to save your game. Thats the point of a lot of the challenge in the game, that is to get from point to point, or escort people to safety from start to finish without being killed, its all a big RUSH when your out in the open. If you could save halfway through, there would be no real challenge... imagine being able to save your game during a racing game when you're doing well.. and if you end up losing, being able to load up your save from midway through the race while you were still winning, and continuing from there. It would defeat the purpose.

It is amazing. Difficulty curve like a brick wall though. Infinity Mode sucks, only thing keeping me at 960 GS from it.

I loved it. For those who complain about the save system, just stay on track, and don't goof off too much.Monkey-Man1234

dont goof off...this game asks you to goof off with all the zombies and millions of weapons to kill them with

and as for the save system...it just plain sucks....its the biggest turn off for people who are new to the game...so damn confusing and shytty

i was really looking forward to getting into this game

Am I mistaken, or was everyone new to this game when they first played it? If anything, there are now people who can explain it to you, and seriously, it's not difficult in the slightest. Figure out where the bathrooms are and save. You're not obligated to do a single thing in this game, you set your own goals.
