STILL A FANTASTIC GAME WELL WORTH PLAYING, WITH NO HANDHOLDING LIKE MANY MODERN GAMES
I bought this game back in 2006 along with my 360 and due to finding it hard, a bit frustrating but most of all having other games that distracted me from this game, I never put proper time into it. When the PC version was released over 10 years later, I decided the time had come to give this game a proper go. I'm glad I did, this game is unique, intense, challenging and an absolute blast to play.

PROS
+ In game clock keeps you moving and makes you think about your next moves
+ The graphics have aged well and the game is great to play compared to the 360 version (144FPS, 1440p :))
+ While tounge in cheek the story is actually pretty good
+ Loads of weapons and ways of killing zombies
+ Great risk/reward system with survivors
+ Just when you are getting comfortable the game throws new things at you
+ Most of the bosses are fun
+ Extra save slots are a welcome addition
+ Great reaply value, lots of modes and extras to unlock and lots of ways to play the game

CONS
- The inventory can be fiddly to manage
- The in game clock will annoy some (not me, I think it adds to the game)
- Some boss battles are a bit of an anti climax
- Some boss weapons are so powerful that they make using many of the other fun weapons obselete
- The survivor escort AI is poor, but manageable
- The early challenge and inevitable failures will put the impatient off

OVERALL
This game is great, it's a great example of how older games still grip me and how most newer games just plain bore me as they play it safe with game mechanics. The in game clock will annoy some, but it makes this game as it keps you on your toes, every second counts. If you don't mind slightly clunky controls, occasionally annoying AI and a good challenge (you will fail to start with), then this game is for you. Still one of the best zombie games ever made, even a decade later.

RECOMMENDED

Amazing port, fun game. Has not crashed once after 44 hours of playtime, runs very well and textures look very nice. Loads of fun for 20 bucks.

For someone like me who didn't have the chance to play this when it was out for the 360 because I never owned one and was only able to play the terrible and severely watered down "Dead Rising: Chop 'Till You Drop" on the Nintendo Wii, this port is definately needed in my library.

While the game is fairly aged and has its share of problems this is a great game that shouldn't be missed. If you are a fan of Dead Rising 2, DR2 OTR and DR3 then you are going to love seeing the origin of it all as well as playing as one of the most badass characters of all time, even if it doesn't exactly seem like it. But he's covered wars, you know?
Just don't expect it to be as good as them as many features were not implimented at the time.

PRO
- Large open Wilamette mall to discover and roam
- Characters and psychopaths are all fun, scary and unique
- Lots and lots of zombies on screen
- Remaster really does it justice, looks and sounds great
- Music is awesome, particularly the psychopath boss themes
- Story is really interesting and a unique take on the zombie genre if not being a little cheesy here and there
- Entire game is timed which gives you a fun sense of pressure that doesn't ruin the game
- Bosses are challenging and take preparation
- Unlockables and achievements to go for
- Replayability is high
- Loading screens are basically non existent

CON
- Survivor AI is really clunky which causes them to get stunlocked many, many times on zombies
- Survivors also seem to get themselves stuck on random objects and even other suvivors which makes you waste time sorting their problems out and in a game where you're constantly on the clock it feels frustrating
- Didn't feel like enough food items were placed around, some resteraunt areas are deprived of food items

All in all its a great game and really fun to play even if the suvivours can get you annoyed. That's the charm of replaying old games.

IVE COVERED WARS YA KNOW

It's all fun and games until the convicts kill all of your survivors.

Played this game ever since first day of release. Will always be my favorite game of all time and it brings back so many memories from when I was a kid. I would recommend this game to everybody.

WEEEEEEELL A remaster done right! Welcome back to PC Frank West!
Runs like a damn dream, incredibly optimized, No Denuvo or any bullsh-t hazard, Controller input support, and most importantly it's Dead Rising. The cluncky, hard as balls, incredibly unforgiving sandbox. AKA of the best zombie games ever crafted!

" Do you reccomend this game? " Steam asks...
Not doing so would be stupid!

The perfect example of what you call "A GAME"... On Steam...

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. 10/10

There is no reason to own a 360 anymore.

In 2006, console players first got to experience Dead Rising, a game which helped pave the way for a more condensed open-world experience brimming with content regardless of map size. Nearly every object in the game could be interacted with, though the interactions often ended up being somewhere along the lines of "place object in deadly manner alongside nearest zombie."

Since then, the ice caps melted, Rome was built, modern society emerged, twerking sadly became a thing, and the apocalypse has come a total of at least 7 times. It's now 2016, and PC players are finally able to experience (or re-experience) this gem of a zombie title.
