Dead Rising came out today... who bought it?

[Tullaryx]

I got mine yesterday. I was only able to play for an hour or so and this game is more challenging than I thought. The good thing though is that if you die you can choose to start over at your latest save or just start a new game altogether. If choosing the latter you still keep the levels and stats you had before you died. I haven't checked yet, but Capcom supposedly put up Xbox Live content already free of charge for people who have the game to download. It gives Frank access to lockers in the game which has new outfits for him to try on. The outifts are labeled as such: Miami Nights, Casual, Weekender, Round Shades, Burgundy Wine, Grandpa, Pink Paparazzi, and Man in Black outfits.

Played a bit of the game last night & am so far very impressed . As Tullaryx said the game is more challenging than it was thought to be. I had a blast killing zombies with the lead pipe & the lawn mower. It's early in the game but my favorite weapon so far is the lead pipe. Causes some serious damage . The issue with the save system isn't as bad as it seems. You can save in the mall security office & the public restrooms so even if you die you don't really lose too much of your game. Also as Tullaryx mentioned, you have the option of loading a saved game or starting from scratch but with your accumulated level ups & stats. Not a bad situation at all. To me at least. I will be playing more when I get home from work & plan on really enjoying the game to it's fullest . BTW, I unlocked my first achievement by mistake. I fell off an upper level & wound up back on the main floor & see "Achievement Unlocked" . Nice way to get some points on my GamerScore .

I didn't know what it was at first until I checked afterwards. Some of the achievements Ive read are hilarious. One being for knocking down a certain amount of zombies using the huge lounge parasol.

[Tullaryx]

The hard ones to get seem to be the survivor ones. Though the kung fu zombie one would take forever.

[Exatreides]

[Cody]

i gotta get a damn xbox

[NOTLDC5]

It's a great game and a good reason to buy a 360 if you don't have one. I had some friends over and they went nuts when they played it the first time. I know it was delayed but isn't that zombie game that Tom Savini is involved with coming out this October?

[Exatreides]

rented it a couple days ago from blockbuster. Overall it's a really fun game and was worth the 8 bucks. However the save system is a little annoying at times and often forces you to stay in one part of the mall for a long time. Very good game but I recomend having a HDTV if you get it, the text is unbareably small and blury on my regular tv. Thats really my only major gripe with it. well I think i'm gonna go smash some zombie heads in now! maybe with a sludgehammer, maybe with a nice shelf.

[Tullaryx]

I must say that my favorite weapons in this game so far has got to be the mini-chainsaws and the wooden benches. The latter has a longer wait time with each attack but I can easily clear a large grouping in front of me and kill most of them with one charged blow.

[Dommm]

Damn it all we dont get this over here till next month. I feel pity for me but have pre-ordered the game hopefully I will get it within a few days of release.

[Tullaryx]

Well, here's a bit of good news for those in the UK. The game will be released uncut and uncensored.

I also have really had fun with the golf club. When I was outside going between entrance's I used the lawn mower to clear the entrance I had to get into. Now that was a blast . Created lots of zombie mulch . Have you gotten on the bicycle & mowed down zombies with it yet ??

Now that was a blast . Created lots of zombie mulch . Have you gotten on the bicycle & mowed down zombies with it yet ?? Nope. In fact, I've only gotten as far as taking potshots at Carlito in the food court. I've been too busy trying to see how many zombies I can kill within a 72-hour period. I'll probably start on doing the Case and Scoop Missions once I hit level 25. For now, I just keep restarting the game with my previous stats over and over.
