Are you a DEAD HEAD?
I recently downloaded the new XBL Arcade demo of DEAD RISING. I had so much fun roaming the mall that I chose to add it on my Gamefly list. Look for an upcoming review, on XBL Radio ver 25, of DEAD Rising. In the meantime here is a breakdown of the Zombie Fun-Fest:
Dead Rising follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance photojournalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. He escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of undead, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping center, utilizing anything they find to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic. The variety of different stores in the mall offers players an endless supply of resources including vehicles, makeshift weapons and more. Players will also encounter other survivors along the way and by helping them can acquire valuable clues as to what has happened.

Oh man, this game is awesome! I’ve been playing it here and there for the last week or so and I’m really surprised at all the stuff that’s packed in there. My only disappointment is with the save system/scheme. I would’ve liked a checkpoint system, but I guess this is the best way to keep players on their toes and really think about what they do before they take on a mission. All I can say is that I’ve never had so much fun with a lawn mower!
