Dead Rising (Xbox 360, 2006)

This is a good examle of a game that takes one concept and rides it all the way to the bank.That concept being that horrifically destroying zombies in seemingly endless ways is fun.This only being partly true.Using almost anything you can think of being in a mall(Tv's,rakes,cd's,guitars,sports epuipment,ect..)to dispatch of countless waves of zombies. you are forced to work your way through the
mall saving survivors,investigating cults and whatnot until you reach a 72 hour mark and are rescued.While killing the thousands of zombies and making your way through a vaugely interesting story you will soon reach the same conclusion I did;
Just killing lots of zombies in different and gruesome ways is not enough to create a good game,Only a short repetitive one.Add that to the broken save system
that will literally end your game if you save to late to reach your next objective.You save once and if you move to slowly for the game you are punished by having to restart the entire game over.
In conclusion this game has good graphics,a good sense of humor,and great entertainment value for the first few hours.
Opposed to this is a broken save system,a dumb character,ridiculous objective times,and is just plain repetitive.However if you are in it purely for the zombie-killin this game could wet your whistle for months to come.
