Dead Rising (Xbox 360, 2006)

Wow, this game was fun. I finally completed all 50 Achievements, and had to write a review for the game.

To start, this game will require you to play through like 4 times in order to see everything. Plus, when you add the other two modes. Hours just fly by. The graphics, game play, story, and all around fun of the game make it worth your time. For those who love the Zombie killing games, this one beats all of them. Rather than the usually Gun, bow, sword, etc. You are open to ANY item the Mall provides. Run to the gym and grab a dumb bell, jump to the food court and make a smoothie, fry a pan on the stove to burn off a Zombie's face. And don't even get me started on the Home Depot type store where you can use a shower head on a Zombie to drain out their blood from their head.

Overall, the game is very graphic and should not be played by the young or those who don't like a lot of blood. There is no limit to what is possible when it comes to killing a Zombie, so keep that in mind when you go to purchase this game.

This game started as just something to pass the time. Then as I started to get into it, I couldn't put it down. I kept wanting to complete another part of the game and unlock something new. Some of the unlockable items include Mega Man's FULL outfit including his Arm Cannon, which in the game is called the Real Mega Buster. This weapon holds 300 shots and can one hit kill just about any being in the game including most bosses. You can also unlock a 'Laser' sword similar to a lightsaber that cuts through Zombies like grass.

The best part about the game is the fact that you are totally in a Mall that makes you feel like a real Mall in your own town. How cool would it be to go in and take any item you want from any store and use it as a weapon? Plus it doesn't leave out anything that might be in a current shopping Mall. They have a food court, rollercoaster, movie theater, outdoor park, gym, sports shop, gun shop, blade shop, supermarket, and five different book stores filled with books that you can hold in your inventory to enhance different aspects in the game.

So, have I given you enough?? Go out and give this game a try. You will NOT be sorry.
