Not working for me...

I've tried... Really I have...

I can't seem to get into this game. I have it and plan to finish it... It is a zombie game after all but these are so many little things wrong with this. Let's start with the basics.

Saving games: What the hell... Having to find a bathroom? What are we in the 80's. Save places, save points, save puke. You should ALWAYS be able to save wherever the hell you want. Come on guys, this was an easy one.

The fighting mechanics: They are horrible. Most 3rd person games have horrible fight mechanics. Only "Gears of War" has 3rd person down pat.

The story: Not good.

Cut Screens: Also, not good.

Side games: Just Annoying.

Mixing to get odd, useless weapons: So tiring and not fun.

I've been waiting a long time for a great zombie game, I'm a horror and zombie fan and I guess I'll be waiting longer. This just didn't have anything I was looking for in a zombie game short of the setting and lots and lots of zombies. Worth trying out or buying when the price is nice and low.

Great Game For Zombie Fans

This is a zombie fan's dream. The most remarkable thing about it is there are limitless things to use to bash the zombie. and plus this game has an intresting story line. Although not for young kids or for the squimish. Lots of gore.

This Game is Freakishly Awesome!

This game's pretty awesome ~ I like the combination of free fighting plus the open options of photography and stuff for your missions. It gets kinda freaky sometimes, but nonetheless - this game is awesome, and sometimes I wish the mall in the game wasn't so big so i would know were I'm going! Too many zombies! Oh well - I highly recommend it though. Enjoy!

Great game and overall a great concept.

Fun Game, there could be an better way to fire a weapon. Or maybe even a multi-player option. But over all a great game. Destroy Zombie's till your eyes bleed, get this game!!!

Once again a game I've been looking foward to play and once again am left disappointed and ask 'Why?'.I'm not going to go in to a great deal of detail about the whole game.I will say the good parts first-fun killing Zombies in different ways,voice acting nicely done,great graphics and a large area to explore.

Now the bad-buttons are mapped incorrectly making it confusing and cumbersome to use.Random people calling you in a middle of a mission or when a bunch of Zombies are about to surround you and tear you apart.You run like one mile an hour at all times.Time and Map not correctly displayed.

Now the ugly and these REALLY cripple the game to the point that you'll lose excitement and encouragement very quickly.The first major one is Save points or lack there of.You can only save at the Security Office and if you die you actually start the game over (and although all your stats and abilities are there)all your missions you've completed,all the items you've collected are gone.AND your time that you were on is present when you start over so let's say when you died you had 62 Hours 13 Minutes that's what you'll start off with when you begin the game again.And that's another thing that mad me mad-the time limit.I am not a fan of games that puts time limits in games especially ones of this type.I feel it artificially adds difficulty and rushes you way too much.You never get that GTA-type feel where you feel free to do just whatever or choose to do a job.Dead Rising's approach is to always have one mission activated with a time limit so you have to drop what you are currently doing and run half way across the map.Weapons like guns you get are practicily useless.You can't auto target which is essential in this game or should have been.You have to select it,hold down R2 and you stay there like a statue most of the time completely vulnerable and with a little tiny reticle try shoot someone with a high powered machine gun while you're left with a weak pistol.And most of the stores are bare of weapons and practical usages.And really everywhere you don't find much weapons.And the weapons themselves disinigrate after 3-5 usage.

What can I say-oh I KNOW-RENT THE GAME DO NOT BUY IT!If you do Buy it the first half hour will be left with boring opening with the arrival of the Shopping Mall where you Escort people,then BS around,save your game and then try to kill a man who has an P-90,die and start the game over not knowing that you have to start the game over from the very beginning.That's it in a nutshell.And if anyone else has the patience to over look these damaging flaws and enjoy this game more than I have then you have the patience of a Buddhist Monk.I hope they make a sequal to fix all these flaws and learn from their mistakes.Because this game is certainly what I call a mistake of monumental perportions.

Zombie bashing at its best!!!

Dead Rising is a fun game that plays kind of like a beat-em-up.You are Frank,a photojournalist who is trapped in a shopping mall and later on the government wants to deny what happens their and drops in swat guys to kill the zombies and blocks off every thing around the town.You can use anything to kill zombies.Their is main missions and optional missions throughout the game to gain special abilities and experience points.The game is a sandbox game with everything at your disposal including 2x4s,chainsaws,guns,skateboards,guitars,water-guns,swords,baseball bats, and many others weapons.The game has three modes: 72 hour mode,overtime mode, and infinite mode. The 72 hour mode is the mode where has to complete the main missions and side missions to escape the mall.The overtime mode is unlocked after you beat the 72 hour mode,this mode is harder and has the swat guys(come out at end in 72 hour mode)and zombies trying to kill you.Infinite mode is where Frank survives long as you don't starve and don't get kill by zombies.Dead Rising is a fun amazing zombie game and is almost like the movie Dawn of the Dead.

Overall,this is well done and has nice elements that make this game more fun by adding two extra modes after beating the game.The game has so many weapons,just about everything is a weapon even a plant or a chair.Dead Rising has a lot of replay value because you can just run around and throw things at or shoot zombies after you beat the game.

Pros: tons of weapons,fun to play, lots of modes, replay value,
Frank can wear different clothing/accessories

Cons: A.I needs work,end was disappointing

Waited too long to play this

Each time I thought about buying this, I was turned off by all the negatives that this game has received, mainly, the save system. Well, I finally overlooked it and decided to give it a try.
Honestly, I don't care if I ever win this game, it's so much fun just running around and killing zombies from the multitude of weapons available at the mall. I'm currently just doing the side missions like trying to save people than concentrate on the main story. I'll probably try to beat the game when my player is powered up some more; he is rather weak to begin the game with. The graphics surpassed what I thought from a 2006 game--its better than a lot of games currently. Its definitely a keeper with lots of replay value. What's not to like, it feels like being at a mall where you can grab a yogurt and bludgeon zombies to death with a nearby trashbin. Just keep in mind the save system stinks and you'll have a good time.

decent

This is not like the majority of zombie games, but it is really fun and has a really good feel to it. I love just going around and beating down zombies with random objects found around the mall. It's really satisfying! Also love to just shoot their heads of from a safe location. It's great! This isn't as scary as resident evil, but that's just because there's so many all around and they are all weak and stupid, but that makes it really fun to grab power tool and rip them to pieces!
