Should I box an Xbox 360 for Dead Rising?

**Mikey** · 13-Aug-2006

Here's my question. Should I go out and purchase a 360 just for this game? I know I'll play other titles eventually, but I've held off getting a system for a long time now.

Note, Resident Evil did the same thing for me years ago. The only reason I bought the PS1 was because of RE.

If you like killing zombies then definitely... 360 is a great system.

I thought condemed was pretty damn good, it was a definite buy for me. And I don't regret it.

Basing my impressions only off of the demo (I have the retail copy sitting in front of me, but I've yet to play it), I'd say yes. Dead Rising is great and all, plus theres Oblivion, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Saints Row, Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Blue Dragon all coming out this year, so it would be a good investment in that respect.

the best uk one is at game, though you got game sin america right so its probably still good £400 for the premium with 5 games, cant beat that for a launch package.

You can get the same exact Battlefield 2 for regular XBOX. Same exact multiplayer madness... just a lot cheaper.

If you think BF2 multi is fun, you should try ChromeHounds. Awesome, awesome multiplayer.

Negative. I have BF2 for my xbox. the 360 version is a completely different beast.

the Xbox version it's alot of run up and hose the other guy untill he falls down.

the 360 version, i'm capping people in the head with single shots at 125 yards. it's frightening how real the 360 version is.
