Bit of a let down - By: Mr. Richard I. Calvert, 11 Jul 2008 
I read the reviews on Amazon & was very excited, but the game is pretty annoying. Maybe I don't get it, but I seem to have to start at the beginning every time I die? How does that make sense? In the "Back up for Brad" mission there is a guy hiding in some signage that you have to literallly shoot 150 or 200 times, & it's reallly incredibly tedious. What is going on? I'd rather just wander round & bash zombies - slashing them with a Katana was hilarious, but after a while I was starting to feel like there should be more too it, it was impossible to rescue anyone (eg a girl attacked by 3 hoodlums on a humvee mounting a machine gun, surrounded by zombies, & you have to rescue her in 30 seconds using a shovel or whatever) & you should be able to save your progrees through a mission!
I'll be going to bash some zombies again though, & to see if there reallly is any point to this game besides the occasional chuckle. Exploring was also fun, but the missions seem to be pretty tedious & unrewarding.
I didn't get GTA either by the way, but My favourite game is probably Mercenaries, so I'm not anti the "open-ended" concept.

If You Like Killing Zombies This Is The Game For You - By: wicket2005, 22 Mar 2008 This is my son's game. It has a very straight forward game play, basicallly rescue the survivors & kill the zombies that get in your way. It is quite blood thirsty (so not a game I would play) but my son thinks it is reallly good.
Dead Fun - By: Timz0RRRrrrrr, 14 Mar 2008 This game is great. It's not going to wrap you up in the story, you're not going to relate to the characters & you're not going to be left breathless from beautiful cinematics.
but you will have fun. I find this game utterly theraputic, it's the kind of game you can play for hours consistantly without any major peaks or troughs in content. Laying into masses of zombies is a lot of fun.
I feel the title is let down by the missions... they're a lot of fun, some are moderately challlenging but both myself & a friend missed a detail... we're not sure if it was mentioned in any cutscenes but a certain objective wasn't displayed in the objective list.. & subsequently we got a poor ending having played the game's missions for 2 straight days. We didn't get the unlocks we yearned for.
This left us feeling a bit short changed & empty... like we'd never forgive capcom ever again (god Street Fighter 4 better be good...)
Buuut don't let it bother you.
This game is fun & relaxing without you having to stress out to much. It's the video game equivalent of Friends... you can sit & watch for however long you like... having a moderate amount of fun without having to get too invested in it.
Shopping is no longer just for girls! - By: J. A. Pepper, 26 Feb 2008 
Picture this: 1 malll, 1 hard as nails photographer & a boat load of zombies! deadrising is undoubtaballly the funnest game xbox has to offer. From the powerful (excavator) to the hilarious (king salmon) the malll is full of every weapon imaginable! My favourite is the showerhead, stick it in a zombies head & blood will rain out until the zombie dies. This game IS the poster child of xbox.
Now ive people say that the save system is annoying, but come on people! The game saves at the start of each case & there are toilets in which you can save everywhere! But bewarned, the writing in this game is very smalll (i bought a huge tv for the game alone) but who reallly reads the subtitles heh heh heh.
Did i mention that this game is huge? A massive malll, 3 huge modes, 58,000 zombies, & i think about 200 different weapons - & i dont know how many food items? the first mode is at least 6 hours, second is 2 hours & third is 14 hours. Yes people thats real time hours!
In sumation, BUY THIS GAME!!! i bought three! (1 broke, 1 got stolen & im playing the third in a minute). hope that this review helped, yup you guessed it - i was bored & had a two cents ta give. :)
