I know this game as been reviewed before, but i just felt like it :)

I have to admit I was really looking forward to reviewing Dead rising, considering I?ve never reviewed a zombie type game before.
You play the role of Frank West a photojournalist who desperately needs a good story to tell the world. Whilst flying over the small town of Willamette Colorado, he notices it?s infested with zombies! (Don?t worry by the way Willamette is a fictonal town). After dropping down on top of the shopping mall in the small town you find yourself fending off countless hordes of zombies and even a few survivers who?ve gone insane from being trapped inside the mall for so long.
This game is a endless rampage of killing zombies in anyway possible, with hundreds of weapons at your disposal which you can find around the mall. From baseball bats and knives to chainsaws and even lawn mowers. The main point of the game is to survive 72 hours without being killed, sounds easier said than done. You?ll be constantly swarmed by zombies and theres litterly only one safe spot to take survivors that you find along the way and to save the game once in a while.
The game has multiple endings most of which I found pretty bad. It doesn?t take that much game-play to complete as 2 hours of real life play is around 1 day of in-game play, Making it around 6 hours to complete the entire thing. I know I seem to be ranting about this game quite a bit but I did enjoy it to a certain degree, for one I loved all the blood and killing but I find the story line and characters pretty crappy and the characters seem to have no real personality at all.

The game also includes a sandbox mode in which you have to fight off endless hordes of zombies untill you die. The only real difference between this type of game and the story mode is that you can starve to death, forcing you to run around the mall looking for food as well as having your ass being raped by zombies. I don?t have much more to say about the game so I?ll finish by telling you all a few small things I disliked about the game? I found the camera parts pretty boring but its one of the quickest ways to level up, As I said before the story its-self is pretty bad in my opinion and its quite short, The vehicles you get to drive are pretty bad to handle but then again it isn?t a racing game? so all?s forgiven!

All in all I did enjoy this game, It?s perfect for blowing off steam and is defently one for all the blood and gut lovers out there. That including me of course! So I say go buy it but don?t take it seriously! Also if theres something I missed in this review feel free to moan at me for it! Thanks.

Far too short, and the grammatical errors, while not a dealbreaker, didn't sweeten this review. Also, the bulk of your review was talking about what the gameplay elements are instead of if they improve the game or not.
