Massive fun; A good sandbox; Tons of weapons and equipment

Doesn't look next gen; Bugs; Repetitive

It was a nice Sand box Zombie mode with nice story mode

The Dead Rising franchise is the Saints Row of zombie apocalypses. It's not as serious as The Walking Dead or Left 4 Dead , where even a single zombie can be a life-ending threat, and it's rife with silly antics like combination weapons tied together with duct tape, psycho bosses who have...

Mission variety is lacking

Dead Rising 3 is a worthy sequel that's highly impressive on the Xbox One.

Highly detailed world to explore; Impressive scale of zombie hordes

Difficult boss battles; Mostly forgettable narrative

Dead Rising 3 is set three years after the events of Fortune City from Dead Rising 2 . Yet again a deadly virus has plagued the home of protagonist Nick Ramos and the dead are well and truly walking among the living.

Looks great; More on screen zombies than ever before; Crafting weapons on the spot; Quick Save is a god send; Plenty of replay value; Boss fights are less frustrating; So much fun

Dead Rising 3 achieves most of what you want from a sequel. It's bigger and better than its predecessors, while managing to remain true to the series roots. If you loved the first couple of games then you more or less know what you're going to get here.
