Should I box an Xbox 360 for Dead Rising?

[Mikey]

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.

[NOTLDC5]

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

[Danny]

yes ,and oblivion, but screw condemned that sucks balls!
oh and get burnout revenge, i dont even like racers but i cant stop playing it, heres my game reviews on gamespot.

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.

It's the reason I'm buying 360.

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.:D

For dead rising no. For Battlefield 2, hells yes.

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

[CoinReturn]

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.

i'm looking into getting chrome hounds this weekend.

I bought my 360 just for Dead Rising.. never looked back.

I heard the wii is supposed to be amazing.

That it is :). I plan on picking up the Wii to compliment my 360 just as I had a GameCube to compliment my Xbox (actually still have both) :cool:.

Ouch !! Smelling like a cheap wino can't be a good thing :D .

I haven't had any mishaps with my GameCube but the day I got my original Xbox it was dropped down a flight of stairs in my hallway :eek:. I haven't had one problem with it since & it still works fine till this day :cool:.

[Danny]

on this note my 360 froze twice while playing oblivion today:mad:

Keep an eye on the HDD. It might not be a system issue but an issue with the HDD. A friend on mine kept having issues with games freezing & when the HDD was removed everything worked fine. He had to finally call MS & they replaced the HDD & everything seems to be working fine for him now.

[Dommm]

Have to say that I love my xbox360 and I only have oblivion and fight night on there at the mo'. Got Dead Rising on pre-order in the uk :-(, but the real question is how happy are you all with this game?? apart from the very occasional slow down I have no probs to report with my 360 yet!!!

[Tullaryx]

I'm as happy as can be. Never get tired of killing zombies in so many different ways.

[bassman]

I would love to get a 360 for "Dead Rising" and the new "Splinter Cell".....plus a few others, i'm sure....but I'm afraid it would stop working after a few months like my XBOX did.:mad:


Damn you, Bill Gates.

[Bubdotd]

Yeah i say get the 360 for dead rising. im geting my 360 soon im geting mine just for halo3 (when it comes out...) and yeah my first games gona be dead rising.:D

theres alotta good titles coming out and good titles already out.

for now im still playen halo2 on regular xbox...:bored:

[Danny]

after having played a little of oblivion on the highest spec pc around i gotta say the 360 version may lag but thats because its far more graphically impressive in comparrison the world looks lush and realistic in the meadows/ mountains/ tombs ect. but the pc one still has morrowind style dodgy textures on it.

and anyone else know this isnt the 4th game in the series, there were 2 after daggerfall and before morrowind, that was news to me.

[CoinReturn]

Yeah, the 360 version of Oblvion looks better than any PC version because the 360 allows for HDR lighting and 4x Anti-Aliasing (smothes out the jagged edges on objects, players, etc.) at the same time. The PC version only allows one or the other.

I hope Crysis comes to consoles, or an offshoot game like they did with FarCry. Definetly the most amazing looking game I've ever seen, check it out:

[Danny]

yeah i hope so too as i hate playing games with a keyboard its too mutch like a task to me and crysis does look pretty damn cool.

[Dommm]

Gotta say that the occasional lag on oblivion hasnt stopped me racking up over 200 hours of play time, aint that sad. Since I bought it in april.

[Andy]
