It's not Land of the Dead, or so they keep reminding me.

So I picked up Dead Rising on the recommendations of both my best friend Ethan, and my brother-in-law Jon.

You guys are bastards. I'm never gonna get any work done. At least the book is finished, but Oblivion threatened to kill that project.

So Dead Rising... It's about zombies in a shopping mall. It's a pretty fun splatterfest game, although, I have a few issues with it.
The problems I've seen with it are:

  • The save system sucks

  • The people you are trying to rescue are usually morons

  • No in-game gamma controls

  • Some of the enemies are harder than heck to beat



This is what the game has going for it, though:

  • Zombies. You never run out of zombies

  • The "Queen Bee" as a weapon

  • Using pretty much anything in the enviroment as a weapon

  • Being able to run around with a giant mini-fig head (It's a Lego term, look it up).



I've run through the game once, and got the worst possible ending. I guess I have to keep trying.
