I'm loving it so far. Not much I can say except it's a lot like Dead Rising, only improved upon.

It was awesome... Except for the boss fight. I think the boss fight is WAY too difficult... Maybe it was beefed up because there was only one in the demo... Other then that it was very very good. Also anyone who wants all the achievements... Those who said it was an hour must not have been going for the chievo's as it will take 3-4 hours... Bar none best 400point I ever spent... Also Best demo ever...

I have to say. . the Webisodes were soooooooooo bad. I have no idea why I watched all of them. . .I must hate myself.

Well, I played a bit of it last night, and I'm liking what I'm seeing. I'm a bit tired of puking on my own shoes but it's been fun so far. Baseball bat w/nails & the pitchfork/shotgun are my favorite combo weapons so far.. I stll have quite a ways to go as I didn't get too much time to play it last night (my son was hogging the 360 so he could play it.. ) but I'm enjoying it, and as people have already said, it's well worth the 400 points.

very irritated i spend 400 on the boring darkspawn chronicles for dragon age instead of this.

Also anyone who wants all the achievements... Those who said it was an hour must not have been going for the chievo's as it will take 3-4 hours... All of them seem doable. Being the achievement whore that I am I'm going for every one of them. What are the 2 most difficult IYO?

All of them seem doable. Being the achievement whore that I am I'm going for every one of them. What are the 2 most difficult IYO? Rescuing all the survivors seems a bit difficult to me. However, I've only played through it once and was attempting to collect both the bike and survivors, so I didn't get either completed. It's a lot of fun so far, tough. Completely worth 400points - hell, I'd say it's worth 800 or maybe even 1200 points.

As we said earlier in the thread, alot of the games in the arcade are way overpriced. Something like this would normally be 1200p and no one would even bat an eye. I was reading the guide to it and it said it would take multiple playthroughs to get all the achievementas. Oh well, I guess it's good practice for the real game.

I'll second that - for 400 points, this is best XBL value-for-dollar game out there. I hope the survivors are smarter than they were in DR1. That was my main bitch about that game, the AI survivors were dumb as a box of rocks.

Thanks, CR! Appreciate that list... The knife strong attack is awesome! Love the "theme" music they used, too. Where's Norman when we need him?

just got the A ending and all the survivor and story achievements. had a blast, the ending escape was very short but awesome. pretty cool to see chuck put on that jacket we've seen him wearing in all the preview screeshots. very eager about DR2 after this. going back through to get the combo weapons, 1k zombie kills, unlock doors, and 100k at the pawnshop achievements.

To take this a step further... Paddle: across the street from the gas station just abit past the van were you rescue dick (pawnshop guy) in the corner of the fence/building Spray paint: purple can on the roof of the gas station(were you spawn) just go through the main room with all the snacks and open the door and the is a ladder that will take you to the roof... Also there is a sniper rifle that is very helpful against the boss...So I suggest grabbing it before you give your daughter her zombrex grab it. Green spray is behind the police station. Construction hat: After you make you way on the roof were Bob is(the dude on top of the building shooting) just move along the alley side of the building, jump over to the adjacent building and to your right there should be a construction hat. Thats pretty much the obscure items...The rest of the items are pretty common...

Just finished case 0. Best 400 points I ever spent. Awesome awesome. I got the A ending, and saved everyone with the exception of the guy on the roof and his daughter. Couldn't find her in time. Very fun tho. Gonna give it another whirl.
