Dead Rising 3 is clearly one of the standout Xbox One launch games, but isn't without its problems. I'm not thrilled with the map design, it's got repetition issues and some of the boss fights are disastrous, but Dead Rising fans know to expect that.

+ Hundreds of zombies on screen; + Story and hardcore mode; + Vehicle combos; + Zombie bashing

- Map design; - Too gun heavy; - Some annoying bosses

Dead Rising has succeeded most when allowed to innovate. The original, released seven months after the 360 launched, was a revelation, displaying hundreds of zombies onscreen simultaneously in glorious HD.

+ Fixes many of the flaws of previous Dead Rising games without sacrificing the series' style; + The sheer amount of weapons to find (and make) will keep you engaged all the way through Overtime

Set 15 years after the first game, Dead Rising 3 ditches the shopping mall and reality TV settings of the first two games for an open-world, post-apocalyptic California...

New consoles may be all about the exclusive games available for them, but it was still a surprise when it emerged that Capcom's much-loved zombie-genocide toy-box Dead Rising would be taking its next-gen bow solely on the Xbox One. Fortunately, it offers plenty in the form of bragging rights.

There is something about open world sandbox style games we all love. Whether it be Saints Row IV or Grand Theft Auto V, we seem to have no problem dropping some hard earned cash on a game that gives us that ability to explore an open world setting, complete endless side missions, and plow through a...

If you wanted to get all deep about it, you could argue that Dead Rising 3 is an interactive extension of this new console generation's launch period. It's all a bit rough around the edges and, setting the tone, the outlook for all involved is a bit bleak right now.
