Screw you guys. I just wanted a simple answer. I'm leaving.

WTF is up with your avatar? Is that you trying to push the lawnmower?

This is the first game since Elder Scrolls and GRAW that deserves to be bought.

Just the most fun gameplay ever.

So now we have 3 360 titles worth the price of admission.

I say purcahse because I love Zombie movies and granted this game has some issues, I still really like it.

Bro, you had me laughing so hard with this that people came running over to my desk to see what was so funny.

I do buy too much at times, but I'm really liking this game very much.

Like USF11 said, this is one of the best games to own the 360 for and I agree with his list but would add 3 more titles. I look at the following games to really be worth purchasing imo a 360 for:

GRAW
Oblivion
Dead Rising
NCAA Football 07
NBA 2K6
COD 2

BTW, I wish my avatar was the actual cover for the game. I think it looks much nicer than the official cover.

I may pick it up tomorrow as I see Fry's may have it at 49.99. at least that's how much it is on their website. I need to build my game collection. I only have 1 game now, NCAA, after selling most of my other's on craigslist. I think what turned me off on this game is in the demo, I didn't know what to do. I was just killing zombies with a sledgehammer. What is the actual objective in this game.

The main objective is to make it through the 72 hour timeframe without missing a case. The game is free roaming, but with a hitch. When you start up a case, there is an objective to that case which must be completed by a specific time. Once you have completed that case, you have the options of:

1-going around and bashing zombies in the free roaming to kill a bit of time before the next case.

2-partake in the side missions that Otis radios you in on.

3-head to the security office and wait till the time on your watch hits for the next case.

With any of the 3 options that you choose above, you always need to make sure that you are keeping an eye on your watch and heading towards the security office for next case.

There are mini-bosses to fight along the way.

You can also take photographs which earn you PP (points) that help with leveling up. Also taking a certain amt of photo's also helps unlock achievements.

There are also bees to capture and kill, this will make more sense once your unravel the storyline.

There's a lot of running around and backtracking too.

Plus, once you beat the game you unlock a new mode. Then the more you play, you unlock a 3rd mode called "Infinity mode".

Since their is power-ups maybe your aim will get better the more you power-up ala GTA.

IGN is saying 7 hours to finish. If that's true there's no way I would spend the dough. These games are way too much money now for 7 hours of gameplay.
