DESCRIPTION
No stranger to walking corpses, Capcom unearths another zombie-themed franchise with Dead Rising on Xbox 360. Players take command of a forceful photographer named Frank West, who believes he is on the verge of a breakthrough story at a remote suburban town called Willamette. Yet this is no ordinary visit. West soon learns that the unfriendly locals aren䀙t just wary of the media — they䀙re hungry for flesh. Players must somehow find a way past hordes of zombies lining the aisles of the one place thought by West to be safe: a shopping mall. He was obviously wrong, but it䀙s up to players to keep him from being dead wrong.
Unlike the carefully scripted games in the Resident Evil series, Dead Rising features a more open-ended, action-oriented design where players can freely explore the various mall stores to use whatever tools, weapons, or items they find, from frying pans and umbrellas to lawn mowers and bowling balls. Time keeps ticking away as players search for potential survivors as well as a way out, with the zombies growing stronger as the sun goes down and certain events only occurring at specific intervals. West will be able to replenish lost health by finding vending machines or the food court, and he can also snap pictures of the chaos and mayhem to unlock different bonuses. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“A REAL MAN'S GAME. NOT FOR PANSIES.
The save system implemented in Dead Rising might have frustrated some people, but it forced you to actually play the game and live with decisions you made. And if you got yourself stuck in a sticky situation then you could always restart the game, only this time bring your Level 30 Frank West. Speaking of Frank West, I liked him as a protagonist. Although not the type of person I would hang out with in real life, he had a well developed personality. Also, I could relate more to an ugly American than a super-pretty femme-boy from Final Fantasy games. The setting is classic for zombie movie fans, and the resources at your disposal are mind boggling. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who thinks they're a real hardcore gamer.”

“When I saw Dawn of the Dead, I told myself, if I was in the mall, I'd do things different. Well, here's my chance! Dead Rising is a fun game, because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Although the save system is frustrating at first, it's important to keep in mind that you're not bound by the story. Without a care in the world (or caring about saving the world), you can explore the mall of Willamette, Colorado. However, if you do finish the story, you might be pleasantly surprised that it's not totally random. The delivery of information and missions through Otis is the only annoying part of the game. He literally does not know hwo to leave you alone.”
