Is Dead Rising Online Experience Worthy Of Your Favorite Game Or Only A Complete Waste Of Space?

This dead rising article will teach you a small bit about the game and why I like it.

Dead Rising is a excellent game. I like this game because of the weapons and the storyline.

You play as truthful West, a photojournalist with a hunch. He believes there’s a huge scoop in the silent peaceful town of Willamette, Colorado. He decides to head to the local shopping mall where (wouldn’t you know it?) zombies are.

He tells his chopper pilot  to pick him up in three days.

In those three days you have to uncover the inexplicable origins of the zombies while trying to survive using a variety of weapons.

There’s an array of weapons from chainsaws to pistols, Katanas to HDTVs to fight the swarms of zombies with.

There are a variety of missions to complete if you wanna uncover where the zombies came from.

Along the way you may need to befriend some survivors to gain some PP (Prestige Points) so you can achieve level ups, so you can get past a paticulary hard bit.

Some of the missions are very annoying and frustrating because of how hard they are so you may lose your temper but in the end it’s value it.

The graphics and animation are extremely excellent as well so you can really see what you’re doing to that stupid android.

Searching the mall is a fantastic fun thing to do to as you may be able to ay find an effective weapon to wipe out a group of zombies or to maybe just one in paticular.

Exploring is also a excellent thing to do as you can find various new places like North Plaza or Leisure Park.

There are a few secrets in Dead Rising for example PP stickers (which you take a picture of with your camera and gain PP points) and secret drink combinations.

Drink combination’s are using various items on a blender to make a drink with effects that will help you escape from zombies or do more hurt to them.

Two of the drink combination’s are Quickstep (which increases your speed for a small amount of time) and spitfire (which does hurt to zombies just by spitting on them.)

Psychos are some survivors who despise you and your survivor friends. Psychos try and kill you so you have to kill them before they can succeed.

Some psychos shoot at you, some try and cut you up and one psycho trys to kill you using mini chainsaws or a very huge beach ball.

In Dead Rising there are also a few submissions that don’t have whatever thing to do with the main storyline. These are called mini-scoops. These mini-scoops can be a range of things from Otis (the janitor) seeing a survivor on the security camera or you finding a psycho.

Completing these can award you some PP and sometimes a new outfit. Escorting survivors is sometimes perilous to yourself or the survivors you’re escorting, because sometimes the survivors can’t get through somewhere so you have to risk your life to go back and rescue them.

But if you successfully escort a survivor (back to the security room) you will be awarded some PP. As I mentioned earlier you can level up by getting lots of PP. Leveling up is very useful because you can be awarded uncommon things from more hp (Hit Points) to more inventory slots.

You can also be awarded skills from leveling up. Skills are excellent because they allow you to be more deadly with your hands and feet or maybe hitching a ride on the back of a android.

There are three uncommon modes. 72 hour mode. Overtime mode. And infinity mode. 72 hour mode is the regular game mode with the storyline and the mini-scoops and you can’t play any other mode without completing this.

Overtime mode is the 2nd mode and is only unlockable if you don’t make it back to the helipad on day three. While in this mode you are able to run around the mall killing zombies ang getting achievements.

Infinity mode is the toughest mode. In this mode you lose one square of health every 100 real seconds. If you manage to survive in the mall for 7 game days you can unlock one of the toughest achievements.

I reckon Dead Rising is a very excellent game on the Xbox 360. I rate this game brilliant and a must have if you have an Xbox 360.
