So, yes, Dead Rising is stupidly amazing.

For as hyped as I was about the game, it actually exceeded my expectations. I have already played through it twice, gotten 4 of the endings, and am really psyched about my third play-though (and possibly more).

There is one huge problem with the game though, (and were it noT for everything else, including the theme, it might break the game for me) the AI for the survivors is really, really, terribly bad at times (as in, most the time).

Other than that, I am very happy that I bought my 360 considering that I basically bought it because of this game. I can’t remember the last time that a game I was excited about exceeded my expectations, most are just lucky to meet them.
