Just wait, when you get to the point where you have to finish somebody's "gallery". You get more of a horror vibe later on for sure. Although even in the beginning, the splicer with the gun and the baby carriage, the big daddy just demolishing a splicer in front of you as you watch hoping it won't break through the glass...


I thought it started out with a good bit of horror vibe and then ramped up through the game.

Agreed...although I was into it from the beginning, found the unique "reality" quite enthralling.
The PS3 version seems to look a bit crisper though, I played through on x360.
Definately will scare you...but if you wait ages, you may regret not getting into it sooner.


I'm still on the ps2's "call of duty - big red one", not a bad game, definately not the best I've seen of the series.

That kind've shit pisses me off, the makers fucking up an otherwise fun game by putting in something that's just un-enjoyable and/or irritating in there.

I actually never played much of Dead Rising at all - I could've got into it but chose not to, in all honesty I found it to be lacking in atmosphere...had potential though.

Don't get me wrong. I think the atmosphere is great and i love the music score. But it's just not creepy.

Has some cool moments tho, like the doll girl hacking some corpse in the small theatre or the shadows on the walls when the freaks come running for you.

But it's much more of an action/adventure game than horror.

I thought it was a creepy sci-fi action adventure with horror overtones. Atmosphere is a big thing in games and a lot of developers seem to overlook it, which is why Dead Rising is an action game with zombies instead of a horror game filled with zombies and action.
