TXB's Dead Rising Review
127
Dead Rising is a game that takes the tried and true survival horror genre and turns it on its head. It melds brand-new gameplay ideas – and there really are a ton of new ideas to enjoy – with a B-movie style storyline that does an admirable job of keeping players engulfed in the strange goings-on in the Williamette Parkview Mall. It's part Grand Theft Auto, part Resident Evil, and part Dawn of the Dead. The best news? Despite taking so many ambitious chances in the game's design, it's still great fun to play from beginning to end. And isn't that what gaming is all about?

Its only a matter of time before the Media blacklist this game, I promise. Whats amazing to me is that noone sees a problem with this offering of Violence,Gore, and Massive blood.
The very fact that a game like this is being offered so losely is sad. Terrible (And please dont answer me with replys of "If you dont like it dont buy it" thats not the point.)

Why exactly?
I mean come on. GTA4, smacking people to get their car, shooting anyone is good?
Uhm shooting anything without blood is cool but this is not?
Having a gun in the states is normal but shooting in games and blood is forbidden?
Oh yeah and sex is a large problem. Why exactly?
Yep it's just like with movies. Adult movies shouldn't be watched. Adult games shouldn't be played by childeren. If childeren can, it's the problem of the parents. They should withhold them from it.
I really hate stupid censoring in games while other formats can have it all. While Americans can walk around with guns in realtime. Why it is a big scandal that sex is around everyone but no one wants to talk about it or see it it may only be at night in your own house with the lights off.

So then don't play the games yourself if you want to be a good role model.
Or is it safe to play GRAW shooting people and Dead Rising when blood is turned of? Answer that question for me please. And read all of my posts also.
Yours and Bladestar are so simply work arounds, like the USA government is about sex-scenes in GTA or other sh*t but they allow people to buy guns actually
Isn't that a strange thing? Oh yeah they earn money on weapon sellings that's why it's allright!

So how old is your son. If you don't buy the games he isn't able to play them. If he's old enough to buy his own games, he will probably have the age to play them. If not, he just gets too much pocketmoney.
For the rest. Put the console in your living room he could not easily cheat on playing 'illegal' games then.
He could rent a violent movie also, or porn or whatever don't you agree? It's just not the problem of the format, it's the problem of parents.

Your son is 6 you say.
So if you don't buy the violent games, he won't play them simple.
If you want to play them, play them when he's in bed. Six year olds are in bed before 20.00 I guess.
If most parents can control themselves, games are not the problem. Anything then can be a problem. Besides the named movies, alcohol, drugs, smoking, violence of themselves and more is damage for childeren.
See what I mean? It's sh*tty but if parents are not able to prevent childeren to see it, they also won't turn the gore off probably. It's just of no use

1.8 - What's the problem?
Your original post states that it's sad that a game like this is being offered. What about us responsible citizens who know the difference between video games and reality. I don't have kids living in the house. Why is it sad that I'm being offered this game. Would you like to censor my whole life or just what I do when I'm at home?

I disagree with not selling these games, as others have said, it's all about the responsibility. My little brother is 5 years old, I love all kinds of violent videogames, but I don't touch them till he's asleep at 10pm, not even simple beat-em-ups like streetfighter.
There's no benefit to it. I end up playing games feeling tired and not into it, but the reward is I know my brother will grow up mentally stable.

Exactly, you just give it a right comment there.
You can't play it in front of your childeren, you shouldn't do it. I guess you also don't watch porn in front of your childeren? You don't have sex with your wive in front of your childeren?
Turning blood off. So shooting someone without blood, anyone dying on the ground isn't bad in front of your childeren! Hey man you should buy your childeren a gun that is that effective that blood isn't seen in real life on other people. Then it's all good, right!!!
I say: more bloody games but rated. The xbox is an adult console. If you want no blood go buy a Wii. People should watch their childeren and themselves when and how they're playing. Just the same when they're watching bloody movies or porn. It's just like that. Don't be so like the pope. Don't have sex before marriage and use no condems bullsh*t

It doesn't matter if you think it's fun or not. People are free to do or think what they want as long as one is not doing another person harm.
So why are guns on sale in USA for everyone? Why are there thriller movies? Why is there porn?
Man get over that strange religion or other things that withhold you of free thinking. It's just all about keeping it away from childeren. If parents fail in that, it's not the problem of the game

i have a step kid, and he knows if i tell him he can't watch something then doesn't and if he does he gets grounded. anyway if the kid comes down stairs it isn't hard to pause the game because i can hear him coming down the stairs. my house isn't designed in a way that he can peer around a corner and watch so keeping him away isn't as hard as it might be in other places.

9 - age
it also has to do with age of the child we are talking about, can a 13 or 14 old see someone playing this game,,, yeah probably, i don't think i would let them play it but if they snuck a peek i think they can understand it is a video game. a 7 or 8 yr old even if they know zombies aren't real i think might be a little much for them.

10 - cripes
1 - censorship sucks - and that's exactly what jak was advocating under the guise of protecting the children. If your parenting skills are so weak and unrefined that you need some type of regulation to compensate for your own inability to explain to a child what they might see/hear - then you are failing at raising a child, namely because the lines of communication have been severed to a point where the child doesn't ask questions and just draws their own conclusions.
Reading some of the other comments would have been better if they were more akin to - 'I cant play this or GoW because I'm going to be with my (insert gender here) at (insert extra curriculum activity here)' or ' I'm going to be helping my (xxx) with their math/reading/science ect and spending some real quality time with the kid, rather then sitting in front of the boob-tube with them'
Back to the game - looks awesome, the demo was fun and I cant wait to have the full version so I can see just how blood red I can paint the mall.

I admire your tactfulness (seriously), but when is it ever ok.. to .. kill even in a game? I respect your opinion, but I can't justify ever playing a game that my son cant, or even watching a film that i wouldnt let him watch. Its not being a good example. And no i dont advocate censorship so long as its well justified and killing is not.

So it is ok to kill in Iraq or Afghanistan in real life? But it's not in a game? That's strange!
If you don't like it, don't buy it. If your childeren shouldn't prevent it.
Yeah it's allright to shoot someone in a game. Because it's fiction. Yeah it's just as allright of seeing movies with blood or porn, when adults make them without being forced.
Why? We shouldn't harm any real person. But in fiction it is fiction. Just as you can't be executed for your thoughts by the government. Otherwise everyone should be big brother watched in their brain, to see if they in their mind never think of anything bad because it's not right. Right?!

So shooting with no blood is good for your childeren?
Maybe you only pay 5 to 10 minutes attention for blood I want it all the way. It shouldn't be turned off for the simple reason you can't turn of blood in movies also. You can't turn of sex in porn and you can't turn of violence in real life on the streets off, you can just prevent your childeren of seeing and getting it.
IF daddy wants to play a game, and they shouldn't see it, play it when they go to bed. So you would play GRAW in front of their eyes with the blood off? Or dead rising with blood off? Strange persons you are.
Well maybe you need to have a room for yourself you can lock. Just say you need some time for yourself. Childeren also will sometimes stay in their room lock it for time alone. Why couldn't a dad have it?
Your points are totally invalid. If you censor it in games, then censor it everywhere. Stop guns being sold in the states, don't let your childeren go out on the streets anymore there's evil all around!

So answer me then:
1. All movies with blood and violence may not be made because it would be possible that childeren see them
2. Porn will be illegal, imagine childeren see it.
3. Childeren may not be on streets because it's unable to control
So if most parents are terrible in giving their childeren values of life, we must all be censored?
No. People that can educate their childeren shoudn't have them. Period. It's not the society's problem. ANd get the guns out of the shops in USA.
Now stop the bullsh*t. YOU WOULD PLAY GRAW WITHOUT BLOOD SHOOTING PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOUR CILDEREN? That's still as bad. Bad bad you

No that's totally rediculous, driving and these don't compare, it's maturity in the mind, boys espescially are MUCH more immature at 16 than they are at 18, they would get some crazy idea to do something stupid, not all but it's more likely than an 18 yr old. It's the same as drinking, I always complained, why do I have to be 21? why? why? why? well I recently turned 21 and now I know that if I was allowed to drink at 18 I would probably would be an alcoholic right now, 16 year olds are just too damn young and immature to comprehend with reasoning things like this...But you know a parent can ALWAYS decide if their child is mature enough in their eyes to play a game like this...

i agree it is maturity of the mind but i think these two do compare. if a 16yr old can't handle a zombie video game i don't want them behind the wheel of a car!
drinking is totally different because it changes your decision making and i completely agree i went through the same thing, although i had older friends who got me booze i didn't understand why i had to wait until i was 21. after 21 it made alot more sense.

“if it is bad for me; why do you play it?”
actually i would hope that question is asked one day. it will help the kid down the path of making his own decisions and not simply doing something because someone else told him to, i play it because i choose to.
Yes kids often times want to do what you are doing but i also draw the line of "i am doing adult things"(as in i am not dead yet and still have some things i want to do in my life including cutting people in half and killing zombies), they need to learn to entertain themselves at times, it helps them to figure out who they are and what they like to do. Not do things because that is what someone else is doing. I don't want to teach a lemming, i don't want someone to follow in my footsteps, i want someone who understands why things are the way they are and makes their own footsteps in the world.
And also understands there are levels, ie things that are ok for everyone to do together and some things you just have to wait to be an adult to do (like play GOW).

SO NOW WE'RE DONE ON THAT STUPID DISCUSSION ON VALUES IN LIFE COULD WE TALK ABOUT THE REVIEW?
Thanks in advance!
A great game it is! This game rocks! Zombie slashing is cool, with anything you can get your hands on.
For real, this is a great game and yes it gives fun in gaming. There are only a few games that do that. It's hilarious the hot burning pan to push it in a zombie's face. Zombie's are already dead people it's not that bad ;)
"The astounding level of variety that is packed into the game is wonderful to see. While side missions can be tedious at times, there’s nothing that’s truly forcing you to complete them so feel free to steer clear if you like. The story is engaging and semi-comical at times, it definitely heads in a different direction than you’re expecting at the beginning. In short, this is the game that you should own in the interim between now and the holiday season’s onslaught of gaming bliss. "
And that just says it all. BUY IT

Nope indeed. And you know why there shouldn't be that option? Because the console target group is 18 till 35 years old. If you don't want violence for your childeren to play it, buy them a Wii.
You also drive a car which they can't but they can drive a bike. Just quit the moaning it's no use really. Back to the game
THE DEMO IS ALREADY DAMN GOOD
See the guide to get the best out of the demo also on this site, posted by me! Enjoy it
