Dead Rising (Zombie Invasion...at your local mall???)


You're a photojournalist at Willamette, Colorado (not a real city) and your job is to investigate a zombie outbreak at a closed down mall. The next thing you know is your inside the mall, not knowing how you got there with a million zombies roaming around. What do you do?
  1. You scream and horrified in fear and try to escape

2. You investigate what's going on while at the same time slaughtering every zombie that's in your way.

If you pick 2, then this game is just for you.

Dead Rising, is a sandbox game (a game where you can roam around the map doing anything that's based on the game) and anything can happen depending on how you work on the tasks in the game. If your not really interested in the story, then you can at least fight every zombie roaming around in the mall and hope you don't die (which you will because there's no way you can kill every single one of them)

However, if you do want to find out what happens in the story, here's what you got to do. Find survivors that need you to help them in certain tasks, find a way to end the zombie outbreak, and survive. Oh and you have 72 hours to do so or you die.

There are three different types of modes in Dead Rising, some of which you need to unlock while you play

72 Hour Mode
: Frank has three days to solve the mystery of the zombie outbreak. This is the main mode of play.

Overtime Mode: An extra day that wraps up the events of 72 Hour mode. Unlocked by fully completing the story and getting the 'A' ending in 72 hour mode.
∞ (Infinity) Mode
: A sandbox mode where Frank must last as long as he can. The biggest difference is that Frank can now die of hunger, with the health bar depleting by one every 100 seconds to represent this. Food is now limited and the transceiver, some watch functions, and most importantly the save system are disabled. Everyone, including survivors, are now enemies (who drop character-related supplies upon their deaths) and they all fight each other for the food they hold in order to survive. The game continues until Frank's inevitable demise and is unlocked by finishing Overtime Mode.

So with these three different modes in the game, it should keep you busy for a long...long time. Overall, I'd say this game is worth playing, i mean who doesn't want to use their electric guitar and smash zombies with it (or maybe a scythe and watch you behead a whole row of em'. But like i said, you have 72 hours to end this...or you die. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....enjoy!

The links below will give you more info about the game in case your intersted.
