About: Dead Rising
Dead Rising follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance photojournalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. He escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping center, utilizing anything they find to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic.
Dead Rising features an open level of freedom and offers a vast array of gameplay possibilities. As part of a real time system, time is dynamic in Dead Rising, marching on whether Frank is actively engaged or if he is stationary. Time also plays a role as zombies become more powerful when the sun goes down. Though they move slowly during the day, the zombies become stronger and faster at night, making it even more dangerous for players to survive. The unprecedented numbers of enemies come in never-ending waves and consist of a diverse population of former humans that have retained some memory of their previous lives, which is reflected in their behavior and appearance. The variety of different stores in the mall offers players an endless supply of resources including vehicles, makeshift weapons and more. Players will also encounter other survivors along the way and by helping them can acquire valuable clues as to what has happened.
Dead Rising Cheats & Hints :
Hint: Uzi locations:
Zombies hate Uzis. Uzis can be found in the following locations:
• 1: The fountain in Al Fresco Plaza.
• 2: Up Above the Show Kings in Paradise Plaza.
• 3: On the Chef sign by Chris' Fine Foods in the Food Court
• 4: Near where you find the key in the maintenance tunnel warehouse underneath Leisure Park.
Easy Level Up:
When you are waiting for the chopper, ther's a way of blagging some handy PP - just get to the roof and blow away all the federal agents below - they can't get you back and each is worth 5000 PP. You can also keep going down and picking up their guns and going back up to kill even more agaents.
Hint: Bonus Face melting kudos:
When you are in the kitchen, hold one of the pans down on the stove until it's red and then whack a Zombie for bonus face melting kudos.
Hint: 27x Strength Chainsaw:
First obtain three books: Engineering, 3x on tools and Entertainment, 3x entertainment from Bachman's Bookporium in Paradise Plaza and Criminology, 3x edged weapons from Sir Book A Lot in Wonderland Plaza. Now pick up the small chainsaw from the Clown Boss - it will last 27x its normal life. Note: The Chainsaw also respawns when you leave and return to the area.
