While the challenge is a welcome change of pace from the slew of unbelievably easy games that we’ve seen released lately, it seems that the developers are just milking the game for replay value.

It may not be licensed by George A. Romero, but it was certainly inspired by him, and it replicates a lot of the feelings he inspired in the viewer.

Though Dead Rising pulls its inspiration from the George Romero classic Dawn of the Dead, the expected hokiness of the plot and dialogue is surprisingly absent (same for any obvious social commentary).

With excellent sound, superb graphics, an intriguing and entertaining storyline and a very solid fighting engine, Dead Rising is a great action title with some very odd choices in game structure that will likely infuriate you, but shouldn’t stop you from playing what is otherwise a great game that’s pushing the genre, and the power of the Xbox 360, in a diverse number of unique ways.

The level of destruction I’ve left behind is something to behold. Broken windows, plants, smashed benches and trash bins are just a few things that have been zombie magnets. I wonder who pays for all of this destruction?

Dead Rising was the closest to a perfect original game that has been made in quite some time. It’s unfortunate that the game was weighed down by bad decisions and poor planning.

A relentlessly inventive game worth the price of entry…The experience is flawed — some might say hampered — by the save system and curiously designed game structure. But whether you ‘get it’ or not, Dead Rising nevertheless provides a wealth of secrets and mysteries for both eager gamers and the adventuresome.

The expansive environments are divided by too-frequent load screens, the story elements fall limp more often than not, and corralling idiotic survivors can try your patience, but the visceral thrill of taking zombies apart is so varied and enjoyable that such disappointments are forgiven. Dead Rising isn’t game of the year, but it is a whole lot of mindless fun.

Games Radar (in-house) – Dead Rising Review

It’s this severe push for gamers to be determined and persistent enough to explore every nook and cranny in Dead Rising that makes it either a splendid, geeky Pandora’s Box full of unrelenting challenge and rewards or controller-smashingly difficult because of its hardcore mentality.

Gaming Nexus – Dead Rising Review

Dead Rising is an action-packed romp through a mall full of zombies. If that’s not a recipe for a good time then you’ve never mowed down a group of zombies with an actual lawn mower!
