In Dead Rising, gamers assume the role of Frank West, a freelance photojournalist constantly searching for the scoop of the century. In pursuit of a surefire lead, he makes his way to a small American town only to find it has been overrun by flesh-eating zombies. Looking for somewhere to hide out, Frank flees to a nearby shopping centre (in a nod to George A. Romero's classic Dawn of the Dead) only to find it anything but safe. If anything, there seems to be more zombies inside the mall than outside.
Dead Rising is set over a three day period and offers gamers the full reign of a realistic shopping centre. It is up to you to help Frank find out who is behind this deadly epidemic. There are many different stores in the mall that offer players an endless supply of resources, including makeshift weapons, vehicles and much more. If you can pick an object up, you can use it has a weapon - there are over 250 items that will help create mayhem, including circular saws, skateboards, electric guitars and severed arms. It is important to remember that the zombies become more powerful by night. They may move like a snail with a limp throughout the day, but as the sun goes down they become faster and much more dangerous.
There will be encounters with various survivors throughout the game and by helping them, you will glean important clues that will ultimately help Frank solve this horrendous puzzle.

Hilarious game. You expect a zombie game to be full of fear and horror but this a fantastic comedy take on the zombie genre.

ZOMBIE KILLING TIME! BOO YEEAH!
Makes you want to run and shout at a group of zombies with a chainsaw. I love this game, simply kicking the f**k out of zombies, brilliance. But, the story ... read more »
Format: Xbox 360 Dead Rising was something of a technical showcase for the Xbox 360 when it arrived soon after the console launch. With a huge level of customisation and interactivity in the virtual environment, the sight of hundreds of real time zombies dragging their shattered limbs around a giant mall had prospective punters salivating at Capcom’s lofty ambition. Dead Rising 2 has lost a bit of its wow factor since technology has sped ahead, but it has retained all of the playability... Read more
