It does look bloody amazing - doesn't it?

The only thing I would say is it's a shame they didn't capitalise on the physics a little more - when he whacks those zombies on the stairs it would have been so cool to see them tumbling down the steps - but it's still an amazing looking game though.

And it strikes me as one of those titles that ever after you've completed it there will be plenty of fun to be had replaying it and despatching the zombies in some other ways (and with other weapons).

Was going to pick up a couple of 360 games today but think i'll hang fire so i've got money for this when it comes out (beginning of September ain't it?).

Its short game though. But has some interesting features. Looks like a rental. Will see, Only a rumour. Don't forget Saint Row or Timeshifting either.

Utter cock. Official times for "playing through" have been somewhat sketchy, but it is physically impossible to do everything from playing it through once. There's plenty of things which are timed and multiple things going on at individual times. So you need to play through it lots of times to "complete" it.

Cheers

Perhaps if you try playing it instead of basing your views on hearsay...

Pretty nice stuff in the vids:

+ blood pulp through the inserted pipe
+ photo comments, pink "erotica"
+ drinking the energy

:)

Hope there's more from where these came from...

About Dead Rising (text whited out for possible spoilers)...
From what I understand, the single player game is timed, ie you only have a specific amount of time to do what you're supposed to do before the army boys rushes the mall, and it's game over.

However! This doesn't mean the game is actually over. Based on how you did, you unlock various features, among them a game mode that lets you play the single player game *without* a timer and basically just roam around and do what you feel like.
So there. :)

That's not how you do spoilers. :P :wink:
You need to put the white text in a quote box (at size=9 is good too), otherwise the white text still shows against the grey background. :wink:

Person who lets a reviewer decide if he should buy something or not == cock.

15 hours == too long.
