I'm curious as to how long this game will stay interesting. It's ok for a 20min go on the demo, but how long will doing the same thing over and over last before becomming incredibly tedious?

There's actually a lot more to it than just stabbing zombies in their faces with various implements, though since when has chopping up zombies with a chainsaw ever got boring?
I got it yesterday and absoloutly funking adore it, can see myself playing through umpteen times to rescue all the different hostages and fight the different psychos and stuff. There's no way in hell you'll be seeing everything on your first go, or even your second and third.
So many events that I've just had to completly ignore because of the time schedule. It was quite annoying at first, but once you adjust to the style of game play, that's when you start to really enjoy yourself.
Best game on 360? Could be, but Oblivion takes a lot of beating so I'll have to see how I feel about it a few weeks down the line. Right now it's hella addictive and I'm loving it long time, though without the sucky sucky.

Actually a game that makes me want the 360. Unfortunately unemployed with no money. Best start searching phone booths for losse change... or just get employed. Or keep up my winning streak on the lottery.
So this game is really good then? What is the aim of the game? seen trailers for it, but it's only been zombie zlaying!

Although there's replay value it strikes me as if it'll be a little short, same with Saint's Row.
I'm waiting for both to drop before I get them, probably end-up being christmas/January sales actually. :D
If SR's online's patched properly I might get it earlier.

Does anyone know if you can use an external hard drive on the 360? Say to back up movies on and play them off the drive?

Probably.
There's a level of interconnectivity with a windows PC so you can probably move movies about etc etc.

You can play music and view photographs from an external USB hard drive/mp3 player or digi camera. Not sure about backed up DVD movies though - doubt it.
If you have a PC running windows media edition you can connect to the xbox and watch movie files from your PC and with some additional software watch various movie file formats so you could probably do it that way.

Only Hitman and Ghost Recon have impressed me so far on the 360 but apart from them I just ended up buying loads of games, playing them once and never bothering again.. Saw this the other day when looking round and it looks pretty sweet, always enjoyed State of Emergency so hopefully it will be everything State of Emergency should've been had it not looked so rushed.

Probably worth reading IGN's review of it, states the flaws of the title pretty clearly.
Speaking of which, I rented Prey for free today. Woop a di doo

I'm sold already on Dead Rising. Was going to pick it up today in town but £48.99 de-sold it. Amazon are doing it for £39.99 and I'm tempted again, but might wait a while until I can grab it for £29.99 as I'm so cheap.

Only real problem I've had with the game is the survivor AI can be a little dumb at times, but then again when you see the size of the crowds of zombies you're guiding them through, it's not really suprising they get a little eaten at times. As long as you have plenty of pointy objects on you, and make sure to give them all their own weapons, it shouldn't be too muchb of a problem. Though guiding large amounts of survivors at night can be a little hairy, you think they're all with you then you realise that some dumb blonde is actually about 50 aisles back getting gang raped by a load of undead pusbags. Best to keep the large escort missions confined to the day time I've found.
The save system while annoying at the start, really isn't as bad as people have made out. You get used to it and it's soon no problem at all. The time schedule while rushing you about at times, really creates a sense of tension as you run back and forth attempting to save as many people as possible. Also if you ever get fed up with the tight time schedule, you can just completly ignore it and go off on a killathon and fail the main story, but still finish the game with a bad ending.
Personally I'd say it's one of the best and most original games on the 360, I loved every minute of it and intend on playing through multiple more times even though I've completed it 3 times already.

Finished it already.
If I'd have bought it properly it'd be back at the shop by now, short multiplayer achievements too. The whole thing seems geared towards making it just rental fodder. :S

I enjoyed Prey, it managed to do the whole sci-fi space setting without becoming too repetetive. Though it did seem to run out of party tricks about halfway through, and I expect Halflife 2 to school it on the use of Portals next year.
Still fun though and one of the best shooters I've played this year, was a bit short though as you said and could have done with a few more open sections instead of the usual corridor style levels. It's a shame really that it didn't manage to keep up the same feeling of excitement and wonder that the opening sections had.

Funny how that Roadhouse map is the best one (and most played) considering it's the only map that doesn't feature the gravity changing elements.
Have to say it's grown on me over today and I've been throughly beating all-comers on Roadhouse this evening.
Shame the ranked matches are all but gone, it's a bit like Far Cry in that that respect - everyone's on the 'player maps'.
When it's down to ten quid I might buy it if I can find out if ranked matches are still going on it.
Couldn't face playing through it again on the higher difficulty - it's simply not that interesting next to the multiplayer.

You shouldn't dissapointed, specially with all the top draw games coming out between now and Xmas.
Now the only problem is finding the time and funds to spend on them, my social life (what social life?) is gonna be in the decline once Splinter Cell, Pro Evo and all the other sweet looking games hit the stores.

Can't get into it at all, kind of play for an hour or so then just get bored of it, it's like this with most games now though which is why I stopped bothering. Sold my Warcraft account and was counting on this to get me back into normal games.
Can't help but think I'd have more fun if the time structure didn't exist and time progressed as you completed the case studies. Some of the side missions are pretty fun to do but trying to keep up with the main story and the really frustrating save system meaning you have to keep heading to save points every time you get past something is spoiling it a lot.
Just wanting a laid back game that's easy to play, guess my expectations were just different to the final game.
Had more fun playing the Lego Star Wars 2 demo, might just go with that til I can get into Dead Rising.

I know what you mean. Though I'm in two minds whether to part with the full game as I just enjoy going around killing Zombies anyway (and the demo only lasts 15 mins). However, the Wii launch looms closer and I need more money for launch titles.
Mind you, I'm also interested in Just Cause...

Heh, I haven't gone back to Dead Rising since I last posted about it - purely because of the save system.
Think I'll be trading it in and will just keep hold of the demo for whenever I fancy a mini-rampage.
Will be trading it in along with N3 and PD0 to get some Wii credit. No more games until that is out. WoW will keep me going until then.

£30 in game (including the extra 10% discount at the moment). So now I have £193 for my Wii fund. Just need another £42 to get the Wiiplay pack and extra Nunchuk...

Trust me, it's still difficult to save for it. All my wages go on bills and kids, so it's just a matter of trade-ins and trying to earn some money on the side (sales of stuff I don't need, ebay etc)

Traded mine in last night. + a bunch of old Xbox games I can't work on the 360. Got Oblivion and that strange FIFA 07 game! Can't quite get to grips with it yet!

I bought Dead Rising on Friday along with Phantasy Star Universe. I haven't touched Dead Rising yet but instead clocked up 40 hours on PSU over the weekend with more to come this week, but I'll get around to it eventually.

Check your HD memory, I keep finding 'unfinished' demo downloads taking up loads of space on my HD. They seem to turn up out of nowhere too. :S

Christ, what have you got on your Hard drive?
I've got a few demos, 20+ arcade games, a bunch of video clips, a few gamerpic packs and themes, bonus content for Oblivion and Call of Duty 2 amongst a few others and I'm not even close to getting a full hardrive.
