The demo seems ok, but I think I'd get bored after a short while.

I tried out the bowling ball, golf club and katana blade last night - nothing like slicing a zombie from shoulder to hip!

The problem with the demo is that all you can do is kill zombies. In the actual game you have to get other people past the zombies to safety and you also battle other survivors that have gone mad and will just kill you as well. Whilst the demo is good fun for fiteen minutes of smashing, I think the game will prove to be much more involving.

You used the golf club long ranged yet, great fun

How'd you do that then? I could only ever hit things when they were about 1 foot away from me

It actually took me a while to realise that you were firing balls at the zombies, rather than just swinging at them with the club!

I really wanted to get this, Saints Row and TDU all on launch, however funds dictate that I will only be getting TDU at first. Dead Rising seems fun, but it doesnt excite me as much as it does some others.

I've played the demo through about twenty times now and I really can't wait until there's actually something to do other than clobber zombies. It's still fun, but the area is quite small and I've pretty much found everything there is to do.

That said, it's still hilarious when odd things happen, especially if you play with someone else in the room. I was watching my housemate play at the weekend, and he threw the sledgehammer over a counter towards a zombie but it hit the till instead. It flew in the air and came back down right on the zombie's head - I haven't laughed so much since the Alton Towers meet!

I've been playing this quite a bit today, and I'm really enjoying the demo. It's definitely a very simplistic game at heart (at least in the demo), but I still find it stupidly enjoyable killing the zombies in as many silly ways as possible (my current fave method: sticking a toy hat over their heads, taking a quick picture, then blowing their heads off with a shotgun). I'll be pre-ordering this tomorrow to get it on day of release

The more I've read about this, the more it's made me determined to get a 360 for Christmas

And that will definitely be on the list
