I'm not sure which game to get... I'll be getting Condemned on Monday, and then I'm thinking of getting one of the three. I love beat/shoot em ups like Crackdown, Zombie Slayers like Dead Rising, and weird shooters like Lost Planet, so I'm pretty much stuck on what to get.

To narrow it down even further, it would be between Dead Rising or Crackdown.... I just dont know what to get :(

So what do you peeps think?

Go with dead rising, Crackdown gets boaring really quickly, and Lost Planet is dry on story and basically throws you in a level and says "shoot everything you see". Atleast with Dead Rising therse a pretty good story, and enough achievements and unlockables to make you want to go back for more.

if you have a large tv, surround system (or in other words, a nice gaming setup) i say go with crackdown. it is so satisfying to tear that town up and the sounds effects are extremely impressive, its a very fun experience. you couldnt miss either way in my opinion really tho, dead rising and crackdown are both sweet.

...are you serious, How did it happen to get "old"? Cause 15 minutes into the game your begining your first mission getting to explore the open parts of the mall, not to mention get to destroy any zombies in your way. Plus your rescuing survivors, completing scoop missions, and unravel a whole mistery.

The first 15 minutes of Crackdown are as fallows:
Start at agency, pick car, drive out to street, Shoot Gang Member, Find Orange Safe house, Go after General, Shoot at General, Kill General. Repeat. Sure the super powers are ok but untill you get upwards of level 3 your agility isn't that great. Plus theres really nothing pushing you to kill any of the general, theres no story or any character development to speak of to make you want to even kill the bad guys.

Get Dead Rising my jungle loving friend you will not be unsatisfied.... As a matter of fact you will be amazed by the superb story line and the replayabilty value. There are tons and tons of things that are practically impossible to do in just 1 run through of the game. You chose what you do and kinda when you want to do it. A massive totally interactive enviroment, Weapons range from Baseball bats, to golf clubs, Then from a piece of 2" 4" to a fully functional lawnmower. There are tons of weapons. Alot of guns as well but i find it more satisfying just throwing a few bowling balls or grabbing a hegde shears and chopping a zombie in half. The golf club is very satisfying. The game is very very funny, alot of black humor and in your face humor lies within this game. It's not just your basic zombie horror. It's pretty much Shawn of the Dead BUT with Dawn of the Dead violence and gore. I have never actually laughed and enjoyed killing people within games but this game brings the fun rolling in. What a game Capcom never cease to amaze me. So many ways to kill a zombie. They must have been reviewing killing methods for a long time "sick bastards"

they're just both so much about pointless destruction. its at what level that the difference lies. crackdown is about blowing up piles of cars and emptying thousands of clips in all kinda suckas. stuffs blowin up everywhere and its madness. on the other hand, dead rising is madness on a smaller scale. you spend alot more time with each individual kill and there are many more options in how to do so. its also much much more humorous. just depends on what kind of destruction yer after, mass murder, or terrorism?

Crackdown is a waste of money... Dead Rising is really good and Lost Planet... I didn't like LP's demo so I didn't buy it. Couldn't say.

I own dead rising and have played the crackdown demo but if I was going to choose which to buy now I would buy crackdown as I love gta, saints row type games. I also havent enjoyed the retail game as much as i did the demo for dead rising but then I did buy it with gears of war so maybe it was over shadowed by that.

i'de say lost planet if you have Live. the single player is really good/fun and the multiplayer is also very solid.

crackdown i loved it but i rented, not worth 60$

dead rising was the worst 3.50$ rent i ever payed and i'm sorry i ever thought it would be fun. that's just my opinion

Dead rising, it's just a really great game. If you've ever liked a cliche zombie b-movie, you'll think it's great.
Well, they all have demos on marketplace, so maybe you're best off downloading each and seeing which you prefer. For me it's
Dead rising > Lost planet > Crackdown.

thats better then killing zombies with the 1-2 animations u get with your weapons for 10 hours and seeing the same boring animation over and over.

If you want to justify the $60 with the Halo 3 beta, then go for crackdown. Or get one ofthe other ones.

I have never played Lost Planet so I can't speak for it. I find that both Crackdown and Dead Rising are very hit and miss games. You either love them, or hate them. I played Crackdown a lot at my friends house. He said he beat it in about 3 days. Sure it can be fun to just run around the city and goof off but how long can that last? Dead Rising takes about a week to beat the main game but some of the achievments are really fun and challenging to get. The Saint achievment is one of my favorite to get. After you get all of the achievments you have the same problem with Crackdown, how long can the game last? With Dead Rising it takes much longer to run out of goals to do. I would say go with Dead Rising if you are picking between the two. I have only played the Lost Planet demo so I can't say much but it seems like a very average shooter. Nothing wrong with that but it is nothing revolutionary.

Buy Dead Rising

There are no other games like Dead Rising (until maybe DR2), while there are many games that are better than LP and Crackdown in their respective genres. Go with DR even if you hate it, which you probably won't, it's something new which is nice with all the shooters polluting the market nowdays.

Dead Rising is the best choice. Crackdown is also good and very fun but Dead Rising is much better IMO. Lost Planet is also a good game but I think it's not quite as good as Crackdown and not close to Dead Rising.

I enjoy all three of the games you listed but I would purchase them in this order: Lost Planet, Crackdown, and then Dead Rising. Lost Planet is a decently long action game with good multiplayer. Crackdown is as long as you want it to be and can be as fun as you decide to make it. Dead Rising is a blast but it is also short, though there are some incentives to replay the game.

And how many animations do you get with Crackdowns weapons? 1, him holding the gun to his shoulder, how many bare handed attacks does Crackdown have 2 the jump twist kick and then kicking him on the ground.
How many does Dead Rising have atleast ten, The face crusher, Jump Kick, BackFlip Kick, Disembowler, head rip, double lariet, the list goes on.
And as far as enemy annimations, atleast the zombies are solid and not flimsy creations of Rag Doll Physics.
