well, I just got this game, "dead rising" I know it's old, but I'm still gonna review it. let me first say, It's awesome. great concept, decent graphics, and it's a wonder how they managed to fit so many enemies on one screen. anyway, they needed to fix a couple things, but I'll go over the good things first. the best thing is that practically EVERYTHING is a weapon; from guitars, to swords, to katanas, to umbrellas, to giant lipstick props, this mall has everything. I find it ridiculous that frank can eat a WHOLE pie in three bites. Wish I could save some for later. Another good thing is that your character is pretty much fully customizable (see picture at the bottom). you have a freaking Lego head for crying out loud! (although you start out like this, you can find outfits throughout the mall) If you don't have what you want, then... well, there's no pleasing you. the storyline is sweet too. basically, your a reporter who caught word of something big happening in the town, and it turns out to be a zombie attack. Frank is a freelance photojournalist who is obsessed with getting the full story of the outbreak. Frank seems to be immune, since it doesn't seem to matter if you get bitten, as long as you live through the actual attack, your fine. The bad things here aren't great in numbers, but it's very annoying. you can't auto-save. I found myself at the beginning so many times. and just to tease you, there's a option to start completely over with your character! it blows. All in all, It's a great game.

edit: I learned that there is a special weapon in the game, that requires you to kill 53,5something zombies. you can find it in the security room. It's the most powerfully gun in the whole game, gaurded by the most tedious tasks. The fastest way to do that is by going in the underground parking lot, and smash into as many zombies with a car. If you plan a route, I think by the time you get to the truck, you should think about leaving, and coming back. You might want to bring some "untouchable" power-ups with you. It could come in handy if your car breaks down. There are also these convict ass holes in a jeep. Get some guns, have them crash into a tree repededly, and take out the gunner, then use the jeep's gun against them. That should take care of them

edit2: I did draw that btw, I think It looks better black and white than in color..... I'd be nice if someone reviewed it............ please? I need something to brighten my day...
