Dead Rising (Zombies Galore!)

Somewhat....but from what the review said, that the developers make you play chapters over and over to find out what's happening, which is a cheap way to increase playtime, but overall, it was a very good game.

I was not impressed at all with the demo. 😬

Why?

It was extremely repetitive. (Every time you kill a zombie with a certain weapon, the same animation ensues. That... is painful.)

The controls were clunky and illogical.

And all you got to do was run around the mall. No sort of mission or objective. Just... run around. 😬

Hence why it's a demo, you seemed to expect the full game for free or something. The full game will have missions and objectives.

Controls are perfectly fine, had no problem with them at all.

Did you hold X down for longer, because the animation changes a bit.
But that's the case for most games, the animations for attacks are the same. What's good about it is that each weapon (I think over an hundreds items) each have the seperate animation. That's pretty damn good.

I agree with Backfire, I didnt find any problems with the controls. I kept on using the RT button, but thats because most games, thats the attack button.

did you notice the case files at the start of the game? Or I think three cutscenes when you changed areas that kinda of show something of an mission.

But you could be right, I'll have to wait and see before purchasing, but I think the style, humor and originality will win me over.

Obviously I didn't expect a full game; I'm not stupid. 🙄

What I didn't expect was to run through the mall, and not have anything to do. Besides kill zombie... after zombie... after zombie.

I did hold down the X. I believe I was using a pickaxe; I would hold down X, go into the animation of beheading the zombie, turn around, and do the same exact thing again.

That isn't very fun. 😬

I read the actual game you have to solve a certain mystery about the characters you rescue. Which may increase the challenge level in the game. Or you can just whack zombies left to right. I'm nearly convince the game is worth it. At least for me.

Really, oh, that didnt happen for me....I got the whole side swiping action where you decapitate thier legs.

I think it's worth a buy. It's nice to see a developing firm make something original.

It's definitely original.

Does anybody know if it's coming out at standard price ($60) or will it be lower?

59.99 at EB.

Which means in Canada, its roughly 69.99. Ah crap

Damn... I was hoping it'd be $50, at the most.

No such luck I guess. I would think this game would definitly warrent an rental.

It's certainly good for a rental; I'm just hoping it has a bit more depth than what the demo showed. 😬

I think they're will be.

The main gripes with the game is basically the save system. Some reviwerers criticized the case system, but not for depth.

Hmm, I've been thinking about buying a 360 for a while... this game looks good though, but not a reason to buy it.

Well that's great to hear.

Okay, I made up my mind. I'm buying this game whether it sucks or not. Then I going to load my Xbox360 music with the soundtracks of the following films:

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Zombie 2
Cannibal Holocaust

Then I'm gonna fix me a meat sandwich and play this games till I completely pass out of exhaustion or if finish it first. Have fun everyone.

All reviews have been very positive, it's getting like 8.5 and such in most cases.

Game comes out tomorrow, I have my day planned.
