Game Review: Dead Raising

So here it goes, the first of many reviews. Dead raising for the XBOX 360.

Photobucket
First off let me tell you that the cover lies about the game, you do not get to play as Christian Slater. This game finally lets you do what you wished you could do in every zombie game: utilize everything as a weapon. Now I understand the game came out awhile ago, but its awesome. The game starts out with our photojournalist hero, Frank West, headin to Willamette, Colorado for a scoop. He ends up stuck in a mall with a grip a zombies, a few psychopaths and a bunch of survivors. You have a few days in the game to complete "events" which are the missions while at the same time your janitorial buddy, Otis, will keep callin you and letting you know where some people are hiding. You can save and escort them back to your safe house, but these people are usually stupid and die horribly.


Now the beautiful thing about this game, weapons. When I say everything is a weapon, i mean everything is a weapon. Feelin like hittin zombies in the face the cash register? do it. Thinkin that a coat hanger might be a good for stabbing the undead in the face? It is. there is such an endless range of weapons that you cant even find them all. With the over abundance of the undead, you never have to worry about not gettin a chance to go braveheart style with your push broom and nerf gun that's strapped to your hip. Plus, with all the different unlockable modes and weapons (like the mega-man blaster) the game never gets old. All in all this games amazing and if you haven't played it, click here, cause you need to.
There been some rumors about a sequel, im lookin into to it and you'll be the first to know when i do. So until then, stay safe

Aside from a bad part near the ending, it was all good. I mean endless and humerous weapons, multiple clothing options and nice graphics. The game is a definite must have as it is just jam packed with hours of fun. Anyway, if you have time, take a visit at my Download Games website.
