Re: Dead Rising Hands-On (Xbox 360)

Anyone know how to remove the stupid masks?

i know if you go back to where you got the mask you can take it off, not sure if there's anywhere else that's easier

The most important stat boost to get was speed +2, once you get that I suggest starting over.

-There is a short cut in the girls bathroom(By your base)in the ceiling above the sink which takes you to the other side of the map.

-Items respawn so you can always haven an Uzi, and Katana. I usually carry orange juice with me at all times.

-When your transporting survivors give them a gun. They seem to have infinite ammo.

-Also after you kill a mini boss his weapon will always respawn there. These weapons last longer then regular weapons.

How do you give them a gun?

ugh, i skipped the scoop about someone on the ride, and i think that's the thing that'd let me use the short cut, right? not sure if I can use it without having done that, but i don't know. Might want to start over, the short cut would be pretty nice, tough decision.

have whatever weapon you want to give them selected, stand near them, and you should get a popup similar to the "B Talk" that says "B Give"

What's the deal with books. Do you have to keep them with you to get have their bonus?

With masks and clothes you have to go to back to the store you got them from and take them off in store.

That scoop about someone on the ride, leads you right to Adam "The Chainsaw Wielding" Clown. This guy was also a pain to take down.

Re: Dead Rising Hands-On (Xbox 360)

The SMG was in the demo.

I played for "2" hours and am already annoyed with the times and save system. Really like picture taking,more so than I did in the demo. Is it possible to save those people at the start?

I still think they should've kept the original idea,would've worked much better but it's not bad.

Also I can buy the game for $40 instead of the $60 expected if I wanted to.

Re: Dead Rising Hands-On (Xbox 360)

be careful...i was on case 4-2, um, finding a mysterious girl....i had very little time, and had to run it multiple times (if the fight lasted too long you lose)...just something to keep in mind (I can go more indepth what the stuff was about, but contains spoilers)

Re: Dead Rising Hands-On (Xbox 360)

This game is so good. I was expecting a game about killing zombies...but the game is more about saving victims. Major difference. Easy to get bored simply disfiguring the undead, but finding and talking to the survivors, and shooting pics is much more compelling.

***very minor spoiler***

When the convicts kill the bystander, his chick is stranded out there...and she survives quite a while on her own. I was actuall desperate to save her from the nighttime horde, my heart was really beating fast while trying to clear out enouh space to pick her up. Great game so far.

Keep the tips flowin' guys.

Re: Dead Rising Hands-On (Xbox 360)

Looking for some opinions on this one. Played the demo and thought it was great fun, but I could see this game getting a little old. What are your opinions of it so far? Is there enough substance to this game? Or is it something that I could rent for a couple of day and get all I need out of it? Thanks in advance.

perhaps a rental, but i'm glad I bought it...like someone just said, it's not just about killing zombies like the demo, the stuff you're doing keeps you really into the action, and you want to try and save some people

It's one aspect that I really like about this game and keeps you very interested. I think that if this game was just all about walking around and killing zombies with no timelimit, yes it can get boring. I wish at times that we were given more time to explore and would have been cool to start missions when we wanted to, but I think the current formula just adds to the whole thrill/excitement.

it's got me annoyed (in a good way) that i'm missing psychopaths and people to save...i thought I'd totally hate the time based stuff (and it does get annoying at times), but it keeps the pressure on you. I don't really think a GTA style game time wise (where you can do anything whenever you want) would really give the same feel. Then it'd just be GTA with zombies, ick
