Great game, even with a few bumps...
 
Review Date: August 15, 2006
Reviewer: Jeffrey S. Stanley, Houston
Well, I have been enjoying Dead Rising for a week now and I can't honestly think of a game out there that is more fun than this one. While I do agree with everone else that the small font puts a damper on the mood, I have just learned to move on with it. I can read it but it is tough on the old eyes. I have a standard def 36" WEGA and while it is small, it is legible. I will try it on my parents 61" Hidef this weekend to see any difference. I can only imagine what the graphics look like if they look this great on my standard def TV.

This game is very deep. The save feature is disappointing and you will find that you will learn to constantly bring up the map to check for save points. After you play for a hour or more and die and have to replay through it, you quickly learn. Another thing I don't care for is having to restart the game if you miss a "scoop" and it throws the rest of the game out. You can still play and do the missions, atleast for a while but you can no longer find the truth. This happened to me twice. The first time, I just plain didn't realize that it would happen and did not do the scoop missions in a timely manner. The second time I played through it, I thought I was doing great time and kept checking the watch (another feature you learn to do quite often) and when it said my next mission would begin at 3:00, I noticed that when it turned to 4:00, the missions ended and once again I lost the remainder of the scoop missions. Learn to watch the scoop timelines. They will slowly count down and turn colors to warn you. I guess I just had too much fun whacking zombies and lost track of the in game time.

The depth of this game comes from the many ways in which to dispose of zombies. You can pretty much use ANYTHING in the game to take them out. One spot had me pick up a power auger, which is used to dig post holes. I stuck a zombie and cranked the gas and watched him spin around. Then, I proceeded to walk through the crowd of zombies and take them out. In the process of this, the zombie spinning on my auger started to break apart. This was a great laugh. Again, you can use pretty much everything in the game and while most do eventually tear up, you can always find something else. Another fun part was walking to the other end of the mall through the Leisure Park and seeing a push mower/brushhog and mowing down the crowd of zombies.

I was completely impressed with the graphics of this game. While the zombies do tend to look a lot alike, the environment is just gorgeous. Capcom did a great job to put so many of the zombies onscreen at once. Later through the game, you will encounter bosses that can be difficult to beat. Just be sure to save before you fight a boss, although the first time around it is hard because you don't know when you will fight a boss. You enter a store and then wham, you have a boss fight. As you play through the game, you are encouraged to take pictures and help escort people to the security room, which is basically your home base. You will see that if you can capture pictures that pick up on drama or horror or even erotica, among others, will get you more points and these points along with the points for saving people will get you to level up which will help you increase your life or the amount of things you can carry or unlock special moves.

This is definitely not a game for the younger crowd as it is very gory. I think Capcom has a hit on their hands and hopefully they can work it into a sequel in some way with improvements to the aforementioned bumps but hopefully they will get a patch over Live to help correct the text problems. Most of the time during the normal text there is not much voice over work. During the cutscenes, which are nicely animated, there is no problem as their is good voice over acting, incredible good when compared to the Resident Evil series. You won't go wrong with this game. It is a great game to enjoy so long as you are old enough to understand that things that you can do in the game can't be done in real life. As dumb as that sounds, there are those out there who might want to recreate something they did in the game.

Enjoy this game and know that you will die often and have to repeat things over again but for the majority, it isn't a problem as things aren't often the same way the second time around, except for cutscenes of course. That is another great thing about this game, the repayability is incredibly deep. Forgive the text, the dumb AI and the lousy save functions and enjoy the game for what it got right.

Reviewer: ChonoStream, Online
I don't quite understand people who think this game is lacking. I wonder if they've played it enough. Lets see, you got alot of zombies, of course, you can use just about everything as a weapon (including chainsaws, lawnmowers and of course gigantic teddy bears) along with various types of food and make mixtures of certain items to form some realistic like powerup. You gain points to eventually level up and get more moves, add more life, hold more weapons. become faster. Gigantic Mall inside, large area outside. Several Psychopaths who are smart and aren't slow. Rescue survivors, seems simple, unless they gotta battle there way through 500 zombies along with you. Then you got to protect them and yourself. Find survivors who don't want to be rescued and enter into little mini-games of varying degrees with them to get points. You've got missions to complete helping DHS Homeland Security Agents, if you don't, you can't win the game. You can drive vehicles when ever you can find them. You can take pictures, the better the picture (with more carnage) the more points. Also posters and other random items have stickers attached to them for even more points. Change your clothes and then rewatch the cut scenes in your new clothes (if seeing Frank with a megaman helmet on and kids clothes way too small for him while having a serious conversation with the Pilot doesn't make you laugh, your already dead). Oh yea and you gotta do all this in 72 hours. And don't forget, the lights go out at a certain time so, get ready to fight those zombies in the dark. Good luck. This is a really deep game, much deeper then anyone gives it credit for. I just wonder if naysayers dissing it's lack of depth have actually unlocked it's true potential. Graphically its very good, not the best, but solid next generation. Controls are also good and get better, as you level up. Sound is excellent and really captures the impending doom that anything with zombies should have. Gameplay like my entire review explains is much deeper then people give it credit for. Storyline is good and keeps you wondering like a good zombie game (or movie) should. The only flaw is the save system but thats not enough to stop you from buying this game. Let me also add that during cutscenes there is voice acting and the voice matches up to the lips very well. Its only during gameplay that you get text, rpg style. Something many games do, rpg or not. Its a truly great game and worth the money. Go For It. A++
Zombies dead in the first ten minutes:228
 
Review Date: September 2, 2007
Reviewer: M., Mass.
This might be the best video game I've ever played. Within the first ten minutes my zombie kill count was 228 (they actually keep the zombie kiil count in the bottom of the screen, awesome), and was using bat's, guns, poles, benches, and anything else I could find to slaughter hordes of zombies.
I actually found a lawnmower and was cutting zombies up like grass, a la Dead Alive, you can even use decapitated limbs as weapons. If your a old zombie movie fan, this game will appeal to you even more. The obvious comparison is to Dawn of the Dead, considering that your in a mall with thousands of zombies. Even has the creepy mall music playing the whole time.
If you like open world environment games and zombies, this is a must have.
Just what the XBOX 360 needed
 
Review Date: August 10, 2006
Reviewer: Ayinde Waleed,
Disclaimer: I must admit this review may be a little bias, I absolutely love this genre, and third person action adventure games are my first love (RPG and 1st person shooters, 2nd/3rd). With that said lets get into the review:

Dead rising is the story of a photojournalist dropped off in a mall full of zombies trying to get the story of his life, but gets way more than he bargain for.

I will admit I started not to buy this game because I thought it was a mindless run around and beat'em up kind of game, until I played the demo, which in turn prompted me to purchase this game.

Genre/Gameplay - 9.5/10 if you like third person action adventure/RPG games you will love this game. It has a GTA type mission factor complete with side quests; you also get to level up RPG style so the more ZOMBIES you kill the more you level up. There are also side quest and picture taking that can earn you more points towards your next level. Gameplay smooth, easy learning curve, and extremely fun. A thing that wouldn't allow me to give the game play a straight 10 was the saving feature, while it is original isn't very user friendly. You can only save the game in bathrooms and on Couches (yep a sofa) that is it, no auto saving before going into a boss battle, you had just better find a bathroom close to your objective and save there. This wasn't too much of a problem though. Also the weapons (just guns) used are a little difficult to aim, in first person (by holding the R Trigger) it works but with out going to first person aiming and hitting your target can be frustrating. Also not much of a problem since using guns in this game is extremely boring. Being able to pick up absolutely anything (I mean anything) you see and kill a zombie with it is this games defining charm. Absolutely fun game!!!

Graphics - 8/10 I play all my 360 games on a Samsung 32 inch HD TV and the graphics in this game are definitely not Next Gen (not like say fight night) until of course you see 100's of zombies on the screen at once then you see the 360 power but character models and scenery are only slightly better than that of the original XBOX. The graphics are good enough though and in NO WAY hamper the playing experience.

Sounds - 9.7/10 Sounds to me are pretty much as good as it gets, scary zombie noises and screams accompanied by great background music. The Voiceovers are great!

Overall I would give this game a 9.5/10 (not an average) it's replay value seems like it would be pretty good, but since I haven't beaten the game yet, only 95% done, I cant really tell yet.. But it does seem as though there will be other modes once you beat it and I am very anxious to see what they are.

Bottom line: Go get this game!!! The 360 doesn't have many games like this out, (3rd person action) with the exception of Tomb Raider which is more of a plat former. So whether you like this genre or not you WILL enjoy this game.
Achievement Unlocked!
 
Review Date: April 24, 2007
Reviewer: A. Sartini, Burlington, Vermont
As I write this review, I have just finished my final achievement in the game, and let me say this: it was worth every minute spent.

Dead Rising is THE quintessential zombie game. You are Frank West, a freelance photojournalist who's looking for his next big story. And that story just happens to take place in the confined (and zombie-infested)space of Willamette Mall. After a rather long fly-by over town that introduces you to the mechanics of your camera, a helicopter convienently drops you off on the roof of the mall, (where one of the main protagonists ominously greets you with the proclamation 'This, my friend, is hell') and there your 72 hour journey begins.

And that's where the genius that is Dead Rising begins. From here on out YOU have total control over how you want Frank to spend his next three days. You can follow the Cases that appear (there are 8 of them spanning the three days) and unlock the main storyline and the truth behind the zombie outbreak. OR you can spend the three days rescuing survivors and fighting some of the games 11 PsychoPaths (which are arguably more terrifying and creepy than the zombies themselves). Or you can simply spend your time killing zombies and leveling up, ad nauseum. And for some of the game's 50 achievements, youi'll be doing all three more than once. That's the beauty of a sandbox game; there's nothing linear telling you what you have to do next. For 72 hours, everything's up to you.

Of course, the game is not without its flaws. There is only one save file per game, (which other people seem to have an issue with but frankly worked just fine for me). My biggest issue with the game was the survivor AI. Some of the people I was trying to rescue were just downright STUPID. Escorting one or two wasn't bad; the crippling came when herding large groups of people (you can escort a maximum of 8 people at any given time). Some of the survivors actually died because they were either too busy fighting each other rather than the zombies trying to eat them, or else they were dumb enough to just run straight through the middle of a zombie horde.

Still, the game is an amazing gem to own. Two modes open up upon completion of the game: Overtime Mode and Infinite Mode. Overtime Mode grants you an extra 24 hours to reveal the truth behind the outbreak. Beating this unlocks the true core of Dead Rising: Infinite Mode. Infinite Mode is zombie survival at its finest. This mode is all about endurance. Food no longer respawns in the mall, everyone is out to kill you (including the survivors), your health continually degenerates and the save function has been disabled. It's just you, what meager supplies you can gather, and your wits against a mall full of zombies and psychopaths.

There are a total of 50 Achievements worth 1000 Gamer Points, everything from trying on all the clothes in the mall to killing all the psychopaths to eating every different type of food you come across. But the crowning achievement to get is, by far, the Zombie Genocider. If you manage to kill 53,694 zombies (the exact population of Willamette, coincidentally) you can access to the uber-powerful Mega Buster Cannon. That's right. Now you too can blow away zombies with MegaMan's classic arm cannon! It's these kinds of nods from Capcom that makes playing Dead Rising over and over so much fun.

All in all this is a must own for any 360 owner. If you are comtemplating buying this game I would say go for it. If you are a fan of horror games (and zombies!) you won't be disappointed.

Best Zombie game since Resident Evil 4

Reviewer: Courtney Jay Seckner, livermore ca
I love zombie movies and I love zombie games and this is awesome. It is pretty much Dawn of the Dead, but I guess they didn't have the license.

I never got tired of finding new ways to kill zombies and the replay value is high. I actually restarted the games 3 times just to do things better and quicker once I got the hang of it.

This is the first 360 game I haven't sold back to buy a new one. I will keep this gem.
This game is AWESOME!
 
Review Date: January 31, 2007
Reviewer: David M. Brewster,
Okay, first you can totally believe the hype that surrounds this game!
If you like horror based games (RE, AITD, etc...) this is a great game for you, but even if you don't like horror games, you will find plenty to challenge and thrill yourself with while playing through this game.
The mall and surrounding area that you can explore is huge, which is where it seems games are going (Huge maps, lots to explore, tons of enemies, hundreds of weapons - we've seen it before, but not quite like this).
The battle axe, shotgun, chainsaws, and katana are the best weapons in the game. I also like the idea of being a journalist and having to take pictures. It's fun to look back at the the photos and reflect on things that you did in the game that you snapped pictures of. I love this concept, but sometimes I get so into what I'm doing I forget to snap pictures.
It would be interesting to see other games using the journalist/camera/take pictures idea.
Maybe a crime scene investigator or something like that. Imagine a creepier version of Seven (the movie) in a video game, that would rock!
I've even read online that if you kill the population of this town (53,000-ish) you unlock a tank!
I'm almost through the game, and I've spent plenty of time killing zombies, but I'm barely hitting the 4,000 mark.
(!)
To kill 53,000 would take a while and probably be boring to accomplish, but hey, you do get a frickin tank!
The replay value is extremely high, alternate endings, different outcomes, unlockables, etc... (Thanks Capcom!)
There are missions and survivors to rescue, but there's also tons of fun areas to explore and plenty of time to fart around the mall.
Walking between stores and dressing your character as a child or a woman is fun at first, but once this game grips you, you'll forget about shopping and you'll get locked into an addictive game that you'll be thinking about and planning what to do next, even when you're not playing it.
I've caught myself at work thinking about where to go, who to rescue, etc...
Also, if you're a horror fan like me (I love the Romero movies, and zombie movies in general), you'll find yourself getting hooked from the start, with plenty of surprises around the corners.
I've noticed that during intense sequences, my heartrate goes up, my hands get sweaty, and sometimes I found myself standing in the middle of a sea of zombies armed with only one baseball bat, when it finally breaks and there's nothing around the immediate area to defend yourself with, I usually started running and squirming like a little school girl to get away from the zombies, fleeing to a nearby sporting good store for a fresh baseball bat or the nickknack shop for a sword or axe.
Once I'm armed again, it's back to slaying zombies. FUN!
Great game!
I also like the idea of using time and having to check your wristwatch, it kind of drives the whole game and makes you have to hurry to the next area or safe zone to see what happens next. Great concept!
You won't be let down, it's fun, addictive, and best of all creepy.
YES, thank you Capcom, may I have another?
Bring on the horror games and more zombies please!
RE5 is going to be so awesome, I can't wait!
Dead Rising is simply an amazing game!
Worth every penny of $60.
But it now, you can thank me and Capcom later...
Amazing

Replay value is infinite. This game is just too great. I hope they make a sequel set somewhere else. This game is seriously engrossing, so watch out if you don't already have a lot of time on your hands!
Not gonna write a full review, 'cuz you already have 148 of those. Just my $ .02...
 
Review Date: June 29, 2007
Reviewer: Collin D. Foust, Ohio
Put simply, this game is brilliant. Its gameplay is in line with classic non-stop action games, and it has a revamped old-school feel that we haven't really seen except in Ninja Gaiden (though this plays nothing like Ninja Gaiden.) While the basic gameplay always comes back to "kill zombies, progress through story, repeat," this formula has enough variations to maintain intensity throughout.

What it all comes down to is this: This past winter, my whole dorm was snowed in for a few days. We killed most of that time taking turns playing Dead Rising. It's playable. If you're actually reading this to decide whether or not to buy it, just do it. it's well worth the $30 used you can have it for now.

ok i was reading the reviews of why this game is poorly made.

this game is about a year old, and still fun. the whole game is about this guy named Frank West. and he is also a reporter. He's in a helicopter and sees a mob in the city. eventually he decides to go inside a mall. once he lands on the rooftop, he tells the pilot to come back for 3 days. thats when the nightmare begins.

-learn several moves to kill zombies
-save survivors
-discover the truth
-RE4 fans will love this
-kill phycopaths
-and KILL ZOMBIES
Classic Zombie Game!

Reviewer: N. C. Hill, Springfield, MO
This is one of my all time favorite games. If i were to ever have any children or grandchildren, which i won't because i hate kids, i would share this game with them in a father son bonding ritual. This is the zombie game that brings families together. This is a difficult game in regards to the time limit you have, it doesn't mess around. If you don't hurry yourself along and save some people from being eaten by zombies in a timely fashion its game over for you. This game has wonderful graphics and plenty of weapons and zombies to bring them to life in all their gory detail. It does have some slightly annoying load times between the areas but i can deal with it. There are all kinds of fun close combat moves to humilate any zombie around. You can also pick up just about anything and use it pummel them. All the different outfits you can wear crack me up too, at one point i was running around the mall in my briefs with a megaman helmet, funny stuff. Every zombie movie lover needs to own this game.
awesome...

don't believe the negative reviewers...this game is incredible! it's one of the best games released in the last few years, and definitely one of the best for the 360. it's a difficult game and can be frustrating, but the things it does well are flat-out great. the graphics are very good, the gameplay feels right (weapons, controls, etc.), and the story is top notch and keeps getting better the longer you play through the story or even in multiple plays. this is a superb game, a true 5 star effort. i just had to write this because i was in serious shock over seeing such negative reviews. dead rising is the s%^t.
Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. This game rules!
 
Review Date: September 27, 2006
Reviewer: Me,
I rented this game last weekend from Blockbuster on Friday and stayed up until 5 am Saturday morning playing it. It is only a one player game, but my wife and 2 friends of ours took turns playing it. Normally, it is boring watching someone play a video game, but not this one. The atmosphere in the game is creepy, and there are an almost infinite number of ways to kill the zombies, which gives this game a nice replay value. The mall is huge, and there is a lot to explore. Adding to the replay value is a multibranching story line that has multiple game endings. To me, this is the best game I have played in several years.

The only knock I can find against this game is that you really do have to have a high def tv to play it. Even on my KDS50A2000, the font for the mall's stores on the map is still almost too small to read. I can see how this would be frustrating on a smaller tv. But, if you have a big screen, then this is the perfect game for it.
If you like Down of the Dead...

Broken Steel moves the level cap for your character from 20 to 30, allowing you to experience even more of the game, including new perks and achievements. Story: You may have dealt the Enclave a serious blow at Project Purity, but their forces are still out there, and still pose a grave threat to the people and security of the Capital Wasteland.

So hop on the ferry to the seaside town of Point Lookout, for the most mysterious and open-ended Fallout 3 DLC adventure yet. Story: Buy a ticket and hop onboard the Duchess Gambit, as Tobar the Ferryman takes you to the strange seaside town of Point Lookout. What secrets does the dilapidated boardwalk hold? Who lives in the sprawling mansion? Why is the Punga Fruit so important? And what horrors lie in the depths of the murky swamp? Point Lookout is the most open-ended DLC yet, and allows you to explore a huge, swampy wasteland any way you’d like.

Product Description
Jigsaw has killed your partner and destroyed your life. Now he has trapped you in an abandoned insane asylum that he alone controls. If you can defeat his brutal traps and survive, you may just discover the truth behind what drives this twisted serial killer. SAW is a third-person perspective, survival horror game based on the SAW film franchise, which has grossed more than $665M worldwide and sold more than 28 million DVDs. The game features many of the deadly mechanical traps seen in the film, as well as terrifying new ones. Players will pit their wits against Jigsaw as they navigate his world in an attempt to evade and escape his gruesome traps, while also struggling against his minions in brutal combat by using weapons found within the environment. SAW, the video game, is based on a treatment from Zombie Studios and the creators of the SAW franchise, Leigh Whannell and James Wan. The timeline for the game takes place between the movies: SAW and SAW II, giving the game its own story, yet fitting within the narratives of the movies. The story centers on Detective David Tapp who awakens in a decrepit, abandoned asylum. He has been captured by his longtime nemesis, Jigsaw. Obsessed with catching this serial killer, Tapp’s mission has consumed him and ruined his family, resulting in divorce, mental imbalance, and abandonment. Worse yet, this frantic hunt destroyed Tapp’s career while he watched his long-time friend and partner get killed by one of Jigsaw’s traps. Now Jigsaw has the upper hand and has captured the detective. Tapp must play a deadly game—the likes of which he has been investigating for years—to escape, and in order to do so he must survive the lethal traps and puzzles that Jigsaw has put in place for him and others. But each victim has a dark connection to Tapp. Will Tapp save them? Can he survive his obsession to find the Jigsaw killer?

Product Details

  • Mysteries Revealed: Unanswered questions from the films are finally laid to rest. Gamers will discover the origin of Jigsaw and why he devoted his life to games, while also finding out what happened to the characters from the first SAW movie.
  • An Ecology of Terror: The asylum in which Jigsaw has trapped you is abandoned, but it is far from empty. It is a living world of horror populated by Jigsaw¿s minions and the insane souls they torture¿ and they have no intention of letting you leave.
