Excellent, I didn't know the Megabuster was a weapon!

I want to complete the game in full Megaman attire.

Spoilers for getting it:

->Open Spoiler<-

Get the zombie genocider achievement (50000 zombie kills or so), then complete the game with any ending. It appears in the vent room (with Otis) in subsequent plays

Hardly a spoiler mate.

I wonder how long it will take to kill 50k+ zombies. Probably a couple of hours if that's all you concentrate on. Probably faster just driving around Leisure Park than relying on any melee weapons.

It took me over 3 hours.

About 4 hours if you go via the Underground Tunnels mate.

Must be a marmite game this... thought it was going to be a while before I got to play it but already we have had some traded in at the 'generic videogames store' I work in, so I'll be product loaning one tonight. Loved the demo so I'm really excited about playing this

Finished yesterdays run through off, got 50 survivors out to get become "St.Frank of Willamette".

Now I go through it all again to get everyone out who can survive as I have been working through this game several times now I pretty much have a feel for where I should be.

Hopefully this time, I won't forget to be somewhere and forget someone like I did on this last run through. Gonna keep some paper notes this time to make sure I don't.

How hard was it getting all 50? Sounds like a very tough challenge!

It is marmite. Unfortunately it's not really anything like the demo. It's a game that's worth experiencing for yourself though, as some people are more tolerant of the flaws than others. I still think it's certainly beyond average 360 fair, but the kitsch 20/30-something omg-it's-Dawn-of-the-Dead-in-videogaming-form has given it a pass in places.

Its totally like the demo if you want it to be. I've been having much fun free roaming around setting myself little challenges outside of its ridged Story Mode structure. Its very similar to GTA, don't you think Concept?

Maybe not I think peeps have been getting to caught up in the need to do the story mode and getting frustrated.

[Concept]

In theory you can ignore the case files and saving people, but the mechanics are neither strong nor varied enough to sustain the three-day spell. It's more akin to a cross-over of Gregory Horror Show with mild GTA sensibilites thrown over the top. I can't say it's much like the demo from my experience of it, put it like that. As mentioned there isn't enough meat on the bones in the free-roam to maintain the longevity.

A better save/continue system, less/better handled boss-fights, better streaming, more varied objectives and better AI would have helped matters a great deal. There I've said it - the defenders can jump on the criticisms all they want.

Hopefully, Dead Rising 2 will be set in the actual town, with co-op, openess and time to explore.

Man...I'm nearing the end and decided to do the scoop in the cinema in the meantime.

Up until now the cultists have given me nothing but lots of PP...easy to kill, no probs. All of a sudden they start gassing me and I have to reload.

Rather annoying. There's about 20 of them in the corridor before that scene! I will persevere as its the only scoop I have going and otherwise I'll just have to stand still for a few game hours.

[Concept]

Yeah, I had the fun of having to restart from a save point about ten times due to being gased in that corridor. Prepare for more 'fun' similar to that later on in

->Open Spoiler<-

Overtime mode.

And in true fashion to compliment the flawed save mode, there isn't even an 'exit-to-screen' or re-load option. It's either allow yourself to be killed (which

->Open Spoiler<-

in Overtime mode takes quite some time if you're captured), end up with nothing to defend yourself with or re-boot the machine

. Hardly ideal.

[spagmasterswift]

They gassed me on my first encounter so I'd say you've been very lucky mate You need to be patient I think and let them come to you instead of charging into the group while they are chanting.

[MonkeyWrench]

Well I took my old copy back to GAME and got it replaced, but I'm still encountering random lockups. I've done a quick search on Google and it looks like I'm not the only one. Has no one in this thread experienced any locks up at all?
