now that ive got it i gotta ask, why do you need a map?, just press start in game to view one. I think that the bonus of that map is that it gives you the locations of weapons, food items, survivors & psychos. You'll eventually find them but it's just a bit of a shortcut . Now to my prior post. I can confirm that I was able to get "Zombie Genocider" last night . I guess it's not a glith in the game since I wound up getting a "B" ending even though I didn't solve any of the Case Files. I just made sure to be at the heli-pad on time (made it by the skin of my teeth too). Man is the "Real Mega Buster" awesome !! Makes zombie chow really easily & takes care of the psycho's pretty damn easy too . With that equipped I was finally able to get 7 survivors to the security room at one time. Now I just need to add one more to unlock the "Tour Guide" achievement . Gotta plan a little to see if I can get the "Frank The Pimp" achievement as well . Here is a map that shows a good route to take in the Maintanence Tunnels on your way to "Zombie Genocider":

took me forever to do zombie genocider

Been playing through it very slowly, but I do love it to pieces. Just up to the fight with Sean, I beat him but then all the survivors got eaten so I didnt save it. I'll try again tomorrow.

infinate mode is kinda hard i got 8 hours and some odd minutes survival time

[ssbib]

I just like the fact the zombies are relentless and you never feel safe anywhere outside of the Security Room. I've been waiting so long for this game its untrue. lol. I mean, I am a HUGE Resident Evil fan and I think they do the Zombie thing VERY VERY well, however its a story that isnt necessarily just about Zombies, unlike this. Love it. Cant say anymore than that

infinate mode is kinda hard i got 8 hours and some odd minutes survival time One bit of advise for "Infinate Mode" is to make sure you have both of the Health Books in your inventory. That makes it much easier to survive for longer since it doubles the effects of each of the food items that you use. If you have one of the blended juices you can almost replenish your health totally even if you're down to 1 bar. Been playing through it very slowly, but I do love it to pieces. Just up to the fight with Sean, I beat him but then all the survivors got eaten so I didnt save it. I'll try again tomorrow. Make sure you arm all the survivors that will take weapons. I think 4 of the 5 you escort after defeating Sean will take weapons from you. Cheryl is the only one that won't. If you need weapons for them just go out into the hallways of the theatre & there will be a few zombie cops to kill that will drop handguns & nightsticks. Also, set waypoints in areas that are somewhat zombie free & move forward yourself & clear another area. Hope that helps a bit. Enjoy the rest of the game .

Oh, I had the same problem getting all the survivors from Movieland chomped on. The second time around I gave them all weapons who could carry one and made sure I had several minisaws and queens bees. With the three books to make the minisaws last forever I just chucked several queen bees to create a gap in the mass and just wayliad those trying to close the gap with the saws.

Cheers for that mate, but I've found whenever I give someone a weapon they stand around too much trying to shoot zombies and end up getting themselves killed. What I did was free them all and then try my VERY VERY best to get all of them back to the security room and if they insist on getting killed, thats their problem. I think with all the people I rescued from Sean only Cheryl managed to make it back. What a bunch in suicidal people. lol

hey guys long time no post A: because of college and B: ive been ill over the last week.... which meant a good length of time playin' dead rising im stuck at the bit were i need to get into the maintenance tunnels but i gotta say, unless you die a few times, which i ve since im at lvl 44 its pretty short ive saved around 30 people and its been about 5 hours this time. so heres my view so far, good game, not as fun as stubbs the zombie mind, but still damn good you have to die a few times to be abel to get good enough to manuvoure (god did i spell that wrong, oh well 2:30 AM for ya') around, the story is lame, but i didnt expect gold but the atmopshere is cool, though i dont like how the number of zombies constantly increases that gets annoying when youre leading someone by the hand, and how some characters get stuck on plants they knock over. and ive killed the prisoners times, why do they keep coming back?!?

[Cody]

hellsing they regenerate at 12am everynight i believe and will stop later in the 3rd day for the helicopter

[ssbib]

I've just completed Dead Rising and got the A ending. oooooooooooooh, wasnt expeting THAT! Damn good game, I even liked the story. Gonna carry on playin in a few days after a brief rest. For some reason, I killed the convicts and then never saw them again, I think it might just because you can get around by avoiding the park after hours, make the most out of the hidden tunnel to wonderland plaza in the female bathroom.

yeah that was a god send , ive saved all but the couple in the sports shop so far cus of that. before the first day was over.

yeah that was a god send , ive saved all but the couple in the sports shop so far cus of that. before the first day was over. Those 2 can be a pain to rescue because you get the call right while you are doing "Medicine Run" & your time is limited. The one bonus is that you get to carry Ross & Tonya isn't as dumb as some of the other survivors & she doesn't run full bore into a horde of zombies. What I do I clear a small path from the sports store to the stairs & then go back & carry Ross all the way to the bathroom & set a waypoint in the bathroom so Tonya will make her way there. I then go out & clear whatever zombies might be in Tonya's path. I usually make it back to the Security Room with enough time to not fail the case file.
