It's been a while since my last review, but after playing through some of my games, here my review for Dead Rising. You're in a mall for 72 hours filled with brain hungry zombies. Everything is a weapon and you have to fight your way through the zombies to complete cases, bosses, and rescue people. My personal favorite part of this game is the way you can use certain weapons. Chuck CDs and gems, use cash registers to bash zombies' faces in. I also like how you can try on a bunch of clothes throughout the mall. The graphics are great and the different enviroment of each part of the mall is really great and realistic. There are some RPG genre mixed in the game where you can level up yourself to get more life boxes and longer space in your inventory to carry more weapons and some foods (for health) Even though I have many possitive things to say about Dead Rising, there are still some negative things about it to. The aiming system is very annoying at times. If you're facing the zombie or boss you want to shoot or throw something at it will always seem to aim at the side, so you have to adjust the aimer before the enmy attacks, but if you're facing a boss that uses a gun you will find yourself getting shot at many times unless you're some kind of super fast aim adjuster. As you play through the "72 Hour Mode" you'll have to do a bunch of cases in a certain amount of time. Some cases wont be available to do until a certain time, so you'll be able to run around killing zombies, or just rescuing poeple for achievements or just to get PP Points. When I played my first run of the game, I was to far from the next case that every case I had left to do expired so all I had to do now is just run around the mall waiting for the heli-copter to come, but since you can use anything as a weapon, rescue people for PP points or achievements, it isn't to boring. Dead Rising is a fun game that you will have fun playing if you enjoy blood, comedy, and zombie pwning :D
