In the News (Mon 28 Dec 09)

  
  Dead Rising: Xbox 360 Game Previews - The Armchair Empire
Time in Dead Rising is dynamic, going noticeably from morning to night, and that actually plays a part in the gameplay.
Certainly, Dead Rising was one of the better-received titles at E3 2006 and could be a big hit in the late summer.
Dead Rising’s gameplay offers a different and fresh approach to sandbox gaming (horror survival instead of the anti-hero gone wild) as you’ll literally be fighting off horde after horde of attacking flesh-eating zombies.

 Review - Dead Rising // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer
A message on the front of the box, repeated on the way into the game, warns anybody in any doubt that Dead Rising is neither the work of nor sanctioned by the great George A. Romero, and has nothing to do with his seminal Dawn of the Dead.
Where, perversely, Dawn of the Dead was a horror film people actually wanted to be in, Dead Rising is a horror game that renders the same compulsion for the same reasons.
As brilliantly communal an activity as Dead Rising feels, anybody hoping to show it off to some friends and let them have a go is either going to have to issue a strict no-saves mandate to avoid missing out, or simply accept the choices and mistakes they make.
