Anyone played Dead Rising yet?

I'm not sure if its out in America yet, but if it is I'd like to know what people think (if it is out). I'm considering getting a 360 for it, there are other games I want but this is the main one right now.

It is out, came out 2 or so weeks ago here across the pond..

The game has got it's good points and bad points.

It's fun to wade through all the zombies and such.

Everything in the game (or pretty much everything) is useable as a weapon. As long as it's not bolted to the ground, you'll probably be able to pick it up and use...

It's got a decent story (rented it and played it briefly) and a good premise which makes the game more fun.

It's main drawback is the save system...or the fact that people don't understand why it's done that way....

It's like any other capcom game...you have specific areas you can save (bathrooms or the security). So, it gets really annoying when you go so far...forget to save...and then die...because you have to start over. However, when you do restart you retain all your accumulated statistics and abilities...so, if you die as when you're at level 10...you'll start over as a level 10 character...

It's a neat game, I'd like to rent it again to play it a bit more. The more I played, the more fun I had with it...once you get leveled up higher, it becomes a lot more enjoyable and the game is tailor made to power level...

BTW.... Welcome to GameApex

I played it for a little while. My little brother loves it.

Fantastic graphics, atmosphere, cool-factor and all-around production value. It looks like the story is much more in-depth than you'd think, glancing from further points along when my brother played.

If I owned a 360 (we were borrowing one) I would buy this game first, no question. The save-game issue wasn't the huge problem people make it out to be, but I was kind of pissed off that there wasn't room for two. Is it totally unfathomable that me and my brother might use the same xbox?

I got a chance to play the demo and I was very impressed. I would purchase a 360 if only I had time to play.

i played it , i liked it alright... there are a few things that i dont like about it though. (you can run faster while youre helping somebody escape)

i would give it a rental at least.

p.s. i was really mad when the game came out cause it was almost exactly like an idea for a zombie game my friend and i came up with.

I own it, and love it. The ONLY problem i had with it is the saving system and unless one has a high def. system it a little hard to see the text
