suprised there wasn't a topic on this game yet.
for those that were unaware, Dead Rising is a "sand box" type of game where your character is stuck in the mall for 3 days with hundreds, if not thousands, of zombies! and the brain dead kind, not the stupid running kind that has the ability to work with other zombies as if they were on the same team.
you play as a freelance photojournalist, so throughout the game you're snapping photos which earns you points/exp which you spend on getting new moves, carrying more items, more health, etc. and of course killing zombies gets you points/exp too.
you have the ability to use nearly any item found in the mall as a weapon. obvious stuff like bats, axes, golf clubs, etc. and not so obvious like gum ball machines, toy light sabers, mannequins, etc.
according to the reports, Dead Rising is living up to the hype, which is great to hear, and comes out in a few weeks!
i can't wait for this game. i love brain dead zombies [ such as the ones featured in Resident Evil ] and i'm a pretty big fan of the RE series. i've preordered the game in full from outpost.com [ they had it for preorder for $47.99 + free shipping ], but it takes about 1-2 weeks to recieve, so i plan on purchasing the game when it is released at the store, then returning the game that i get from the mail.
Screen shots and more info/articles can be found here.
