 AT LAST!!! A ZOMBIE BASHING GAME WITH NO LIMITS!!! October 5, 2008
William Smith (Bradford, England)
This game is truly the best undead bashing game there is!
Firstly you don't even have to follow the story, you can just stand in a room for 6 hours if you want to unlock the overtime mode easily, how great is that!!!
However, if you're a zombie genocidal maniac who just wants to massacre every zombie you can get you're hands on then this game is for you!!
Why do the story?? Just massacre THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of zombies for 6 hours with anything and everything you can get your hands on. Chairs, benches, lawnmowers, chainsaws, knives, guns, bats, steel, iron, pots, sickles,domestic items,DIY items.... JUST EVERYTHING CAN BE USED AS A WEAPON!!!
Not only that but you can learn new skills to fight with like walking on top of a huge horde of zombies, somersault kicks and many many more cool tricks!!!
Dying on this game is not too bad as you can save you're skills you've learned and use them when you restart the game!!!
WOW hours and hours of fun and gore awaits you with this game.
Overall this is a MUST BUY!!! For zombie mashing maniacs out there looking to vent some steam!!
 Bit of a let down July 11, 2008
Mr. Richard I. Calvert (London, England)
I read the reviews on Amazon and was very excited, but the game is pretty annoying. Maybe I don't get it, but I seem to have to start at the beginning every time I die? How does that make sense? In the "Back up for Brad" mission there is a guy hiding in some signage that you have to literally shoot 150 or 200 times, and it's really incredibly tedious. What is going on? I'd rather just wander round and bash zombies - slashing them with a Katana was hilarious, but after a while I was starting to feel like there should be more too it, it was impossible to rescue anyone (eg a girl attacked by 3 hoodlums on a humvee mounting a machine gun, surrounded by zombies, and you have to rescue her in 30 seconds using a shovel or whatever) and you should be able to save your progrees through a mission!
I'll be going to bash some zombies again though, and to see if there really is any point to this game besides the occasional chuckle. Exploring was also fun, but the missions seem to be pretty tedious and unrewarding.
I didn't get GTA either by the way, but My favourite game is probably Mercenaries, so I'm not anti the "open-ended" concept.

Dead rising is a very good game and is a lot of fun to play but afder few hours or days it will get very dull.I would rent this and buy call of duty 4
If You Like Killing Zombies This Is The Game For You March 22, 2008

This is my son's game. It has a very straight forward game play, basically rescue the survivors and kill the zombies that get in your way. It is quite blood thirsty (so not a game I would play) but my son thinks it is really good.
Dead Fun March 14, 2008
Timz0RRRrrrrr (Ye Olde Englande)
This game is great. It's not going to wrap you up in the story, you're not going to relate to the characters and you're not going to be left breathless from beautiful cinematics.
but you will have fun. I find this game utterly theraputic, it's the kind of game you can play for hours consistantly without any major peaks or troughs in content. Laying into masses of zombies is a lot of fun.
I feel the title is let down by the missions... they're a lot of fun, some are moderately challenging but both myself and a friend missed a detail... we're not sure if it was mentioned in any cutscenes but a certain objective wasn't displayed in the objective list.. and subsequently we got a poor ending having played the game's missions for 2 straight days. We didn't get the unlocks we yearned for.
This left us feeling a bit short changed and empty... like we'd never forgive capcom ever again (god Street Fighter 4 better be good...)
Buuut don't let it bother you.
This game is fun and relaxing without you having to stress out to much. It's the video game equivalent of Friends... you can sit and watch for however long you like... having a moderate amount of fun without having to get too invested in it.
