Gamespot? 6.5? You must be out of your mind!
One of the only things I can see wrong with this game is its repetitive. Most of the game you run into a zombie-infested mall, save people and bring them back to the security room. It all wraps up in the end, but it takes like 5 or 6 10 minute long missions that are almost the same to get to the next point in the game! You spend half your time remembering which sections of the mall are further away from where you start off so you can pick the shorter missions first!
Another thing is the people you escort back to the room. Some are injured, some are old, some are fat. This all effects how they walk and how fast they walk. I remember one mission where a fat guy asked me to go get him a steak before he left with me?! I mean come on, steak or your life? mmm..... And the old people walk unbelievably slow and at the sight of a zombie they duck and get scared. Then injured people are not only slow, but walk like idiots and almost blend in with the zombies!
Overall besides the letdowns its a very fun, addictive game to play, and the controls are all good besides the weird button combinations just to open a door such as Z+A. The storyline is great and can't wait to see how dead rising 2 picks up from that. May get a friend to let me play Dead Rising 2 Case Zero to sum it all up for me.
