CheatCC says - Dead Rising was one of the beacons of hope in the early Xbox 360 lineup. At a time when developers were still adjusting to the rigors of high-definition game development, turning out eye-candy ports with missing features, Dead Rising demonstrated the gameplay potential of the new generation. Here was a title that used its hardware to plaster the screen with insurmountable hordes of shambling enemies in a visually busy open world. Here was a game that turned the environment, and almost every object found therein, into improvised tools for zombie genocide. Here was a game that was fun for short bursts of stress relief, but still offered a variety of deep systems in interplay and a branching, malleable plot-line.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Dead Rising 2: Off the Record might be my favorite release in the series as it took a solid entry, threw the heroic Frank West in and brought us the legendary Sandbox mode."
Carlos Writes "With Dead Rising 4 now out the door, and our playthrough finalised, we decided to take a look to see how it stacks up with the rest of the series entries. So here we are...ranking the full Dead Rising series from god damn worst, right up to the best zombie bashing offering that we've ever seen."
I played the first, and I bought #4. Other than that, strangely haven't played any of the others. I'll get round to it one day though I guess.
