I was right about the Dead Rising guide, it told me absolutely nothing I didn't already know, and missed out stuff I do know. Figured that would be the case, but at least it was fun to read for a while when I was bored in work

The problem with Dead Rising is that it's almost impossible to write a guide for it, it's more open ended than something like Oblivion for example.

As popular as it was, it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, DR is definitely a revolution as far as gaming goes, more so than other titles that have taken that label.

I think you could write a guide for it, but like IGN did you'd have to focus on something in particular at the expense of something else. I could explain to people how to kill every psychopath in one playthrough, but they'd miss out on other achievements if that's what they wanted. To get everything done in the game you'd need at least 5 different guides for it, which would be undoubtedly very long for some of the achievements (like Frank The Pimp, that was fun to get).

I do love the game though, I still think it's my favourite game on the 360 so far, even more so than Oblivion which got more playing time.

The strange thing about Dead Rising is, the first thing anyone will ever say after just starting it is "Doesn't seem like there will be much depth to it", when in actual fact, it probably has more depth than the many highly rated RPG's and Adventure games out there.

Genius Capcom at their very, very best. I'd rather them not make the sequel though, but saying that, I'm sure that will be brilliant too, but I am wondering just what they can add bar locale (which was perfect) that will make it any different, or indeed, better.

Surely the only range they can go for wider than a shopping mall is an actual town (much like they tried with Resident Evil 2.) Hopefully there is enough in Next-Generation power to keep up the same level of detail, but at such a scale I don't know. I hope so, my heart tells me yes, my head tells me no.

Totally agree, and that was very much my experience with it.

Initially I was just playing through it like some zombie splatter fest, not really opening up to anything else in the game, but by the time I'd gotten to overtime mode I really started to appreciate what an achievement the game is. There are so many levels to it, it's unreal.

It's more idleness to upload it all somewhere rather than lack of somewhere to put it but thanks for the offer Nokkon

I liked looking through the Dead Rising guide, it's reinspired me a bit to have another go at it because I do like it, I'm just terrible at the combat in it. Maybe next week when I've got some more time. Crackdown one seems very handy for when I go orb hunting.

I would definitely be interested in the Crackdown one, I am gonna delete my progress so far and start again, I haven't played it since the first weekend it came out due to coursework. Now that I am finished I hope to give it a fresh start.
