Dead Rising (Xbox 360) Reviews

Dont get me wrong Dead Rising is a fun game but it has flaws which are seriously annoying the idea of playing to a set time can be a nice touch when you first play the game but it gets tiresome travelling back and forth to continue with primary missions. Again the time factor plays a part in the secondary missions which which often ...  Read the complete review

Dead Rising is a classic game on the XBOX 360 that has just spawned a sequel that is currently selling by the bucket-load! This original game borrows much from George.A.Romero's Dawn Of The Dead (and in fact the makers were successfully sued by Romero for stealing his idea!) whilst still managing to establish an original story-line that ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive zombie fan and with the imminent release of Dead Rising 2 I thought it necessary to write a review for the first game. It was only released on xbox 360, unlike the second one which will be released on several other platforms. The game focuses around Frank and his fight for survival in a shopping mall against hordes of ...  Read the complete review

Dead rising is one of the most unique games I have ever played. A mall full of zombies? Check! An array of weapons to keep yourself alive? Check! Survivors who need rescuing? Check! Crazy psycopaths? Check! Literally all you could want is crammed in to the willamette mall. As photo journalist Frank you have to save the day! Take this ...  Read the complete review

The first thing to say is this...I AM A ZOMBIE FAN!!! There, I've said it, you all know it now and hopefully will realise that I will be looking at this game from a stand point where by I think zombies are a brilliant sci-fi & Horror concept and great fun!!! I have to say also that this is the first game I have played on ...  Read the complete review

If you've ever watched George A. Romero's masterful 1978 zombie film Dawn of the Dead, you've probably been waiting for a game that allows you to lay waste to a shopping mall full of zombies en masse. Dead Rising is just such a game; a violent, absurd, thoroughly irresponsible game that's exceedingly simple, but extremely fun as a ...  Read the complete review

The front cover of Dead Rising carries the disclaimer "This game was not developed, approved or licensed by the owners or creators of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead". This says an awful lot about the game if you're familar with Romero's 'Dead' films particularly Dawn of the Dead as Dead Rising puts you in familiar ...  Read the complete review

Dead rising is an excellent mix of gore, hilarity and randomness! You play Frank - a reporter sent to a remote town on a hot lead. You are airlifted by helicopter to a shopping mall and the game is set within the time restraints of being collected again in 3 days. It quickly becomes apparent that the town has become overrun with zombies ...  Read the complete review

Hmmmm when i first got this game i thought.. sounds a bit cheesy but lets give it a go. Boy how was i wrong. This games has to be one of the most varied game plays i have ever seen, on the one had it is so funny and entertaining but on the other hand there is a good story line to stick to at the same time. General Storyline: ...  Read the complete review

Everyone will always be amused by zombies. Especially if there is a Mall that is swarmed with zombies. Dead Rising is exactly that. The plot is very fascinating and odd. At some times you have to hang around a certain place and do nothing and it is critical to the flow of the missions. So if you miss it, you will have start ...  Read the complete review

Dead rising may appear to be just an over the top whack a zombie game, but trust me its not. Infact it has a solid story with main objectives and side missions, filled to the brim with enough zombies and weapons and clothes to change into to keep you entertained for hours on end. you play as photojournalist frank west who is ...  Read the complete review

Zombie games never get old and the idea of being in a mall infected with zombies is absolutely amazing. Your Frank whos doing a story on the sudden outburst of zombies in a city being kept hush hush by the govt. You are then stranded on the mall infested with them with the rescue coming in 3 days. The plot is decent but has ...  Read the complete review

Introduction Dead rising is a Xbox 360 exclusive. It puts you as Frank West, a photojournalist who hears about a series of riots in a small town. Thinking this could be his big break he hires a helicopter and a pilot to get some aerial snap shots of the rioting. What Frank does see however is people being eaten alive, people ...  Read the complete review

If you love zombies then this is definitely the game for you. It seems 'zombie loving' has become quite a cult lately, what with George Romero's films becoming more and more popular, and with Simon Pegg's Shaun of the Dead leaving everyone laughing their heads off, so it was surely only going to be a short matter of time before it came ...  Read the complete review

Being a long-term zombie enthusiast, Dead Rising, on paper, seemed like the perfect game for me. You take on the role of tough-talking photojournalist Frank West as he, armed only with his trusty camera (which has annoyingly short battery-life), spends 72 hours in an undead-ridden shopping mall trying to uncover the mystery of the ...  Read the complete review

I love ZOMBIES!!! They are also my worst fear so when a game comes along trapping me in a mall packed with the zombies and a wide arsenal of weapons i say YES PLEASE (as long as its only a game). Lets get the negatives out the way first. 1. not the best looking game. 2. not the best save system 3. short ...  Read the complete review

I recently picked this game up and started playing again and realised I was much better then I was before... Odd. But Anyway, back in the day this was one of the only games that was good enough to act like a next generation title, with hundreds zombies on screen at any time. If you hadn't realised by now, the plot is that you're a ...  Read the complete review

What would YOU do with 72 hours if you were trapped in a zombie infested mall in suburban America? Hunt for survivors? Solve the puzzles that brought the small town to the current crisis? Go looting in the shops? Or...like me, would you hunt down the seemingly endless cavalcade of zombies that fill the screen? Dead Rising is a ...  Read the complete review

Dead Rising is game developed by Capcom and release in Autumn 2006. The zombie is a survival "horror" game which is completely unlike Capcom's other zombie games in the Resident Evil series since it infuses humour into the gameplay too. The story begins with Frank West, the main character, aboard a helicopter taking ...  Read the complete review

Zombies and video games; two things that are pretty much impossible not to love. When you combine the two you'd expect to get something of epic proportions but, while Capcom's (the developer of Dead Rising) immensely popular Resident Evil series has brought us some stellar video games, this doesn't always go to plan. Part of my ...  Read the complete review
