I’ve been goofing around with this game for a few days, long enough to pick up 200 achievement points without even progressing past the second mission.

What sets Dead Rising apart isn’t in the graphics or sound, it’s the humor and creativity it brings to the 360.

The demo does not do Dead Rising justice — there’s a lot more to the game than killing zombies. As you level up, you see zombies as less of an enemy and more of a routine obstacle, kind of like bad traffic.

The review is good, and I agree that audio is excellent. Killing a zombie with a shovel really does sound like killing a zombie with a shovel. A baseball bat is totally different, yet equally convincing.

I have to disagree, though, with labelling a lack of multiplayer or excessive mission repetition as “minor.” This is a good title, with the potential to be a great one, where basic oversights drag down an otherwise outstanding game.

Originally I decided against buying DR because to me a $60 game should include some form of multiplayer, co-op or LAN at the least. Luckily I found it for $50 at Fry’s (western US). It truly is a good game, but the flaws are far from minor.

Gamefly shipped it to me today, cannot wait to get it in my hands. From playing the demo this game is a 10′er, but your review is fair.

its pretty much fixed, you’ll only find a few slow spots and i think its just from the 360 running too long and trying to catch up with itself, its a really good game if you dont mind the annoying pinpoint accuracy of the convicts heavy machine gun at about 200 yards

I noticed this in the demo too. They fixed it mostly. It happens at extremely rare times, which is why I didn’t think it was necessary to mention in the review. You barely notice it at all with as many weapons that are available in the full version.

Man I can’t wait to get my hands on this one Chris, I’ve played the demo but your review made me want more!

While at that subject, in the demo I experienced a couple of framedrops everytime I used the sledgehammer to KO some zombies (the long “hard” hit), is this in the game or is it fixed in the full retail?

Nice review.. I can’t agree or disagree on it yet though.
