I raved about Dead rising on its release, I even purchased a Xbox 360 to play it, but I have only just bought it due to there being so many different opinions, but alas I purchased it off eBay for a mere £23 including postage Graphics: The graphics are clear and clean, there are some minor clipping issues in some of the cutscenes, the zombies dismember very well, and they all don't suffer the same injuries when attacked with the same weapon, such as the katana, as you slice your way through a horde of the undead, there will be legs arms torso's and other parts strewn around, the only major gripe is that some of the text is barely readable on a SDTV but apart from that its very good.

Gameplay: gameplay is simple and effective using a over shoulder view for throwing and shooting, the main game is short but you want to play it at least twice, some people will just want to mash zombies with hammers but for the more complicated mind the missions are well structured but are very similar. the time system is hard to get used to but all I can say to those people who find it too hard to get used to is that you are trying to do too much, make plenty of time for yourself

Sound: well what can I say but ace there are plenty of groans and sighs and squishes and splats all well sounded

Other: The game can get extremely tense especially when cultists or SWAT are thrown in for good measure, and your low on health, unless you are well healed and are more armed than Rambo I suggest you avoid them after running past them they will lose interest

Pshycos: most of them are solid, but a couple are really unfair such as Cletus (he hides in the huntin shack gun shop) you must shoot him from outside the shop and many of the bullets miss at that range,

Conclusion: This game is fun and innovative, you won't see anyhting similar for a while, and it is gonna set a trend just like GTA did
