Let me just start by saying you are supposed to die in this game. I spent forever getting killed by Carlito and reloading my save and failing. Unless you really think you have a good shot, you're supposed to "save and quit" when you die. It saves all your experience and allows you to restart the game from the beginning. You have 72 in-game hours (6 real life hours max) to save everyone you can and get the big scoop! It's almost like playing a movie you get better at being a character in. The story is the game, and events happen on a strict schedule once the timer starts. Learn the layout of the mall, explore, die, keep exploring, find secrets, characters, die again, It doesn't matter because you come back stronger and smarter each time. It's got all the hallmarks of a roguelike, AND a photography sim! Taking the right photos at the right moments can give you a huge boost in experience.

About This Game
This action horror game brings new meaning to the phrase "retail hell." Dead Rising uses a dynamic real-time system in which time continues to pass whether Frank is actively engaged or remains stationary. For example, though they move slowly during the day, zombies become stronger and faster when the sun sets and make it even more difficult to survive at night. The unprecedented swarms come in never-ending waves and consist of a diverse population. These former humans retain some memory of their previous lives and it is reflected in their behavior and appearance. The variety of different stores in the mall offers an endless supply of resources including vehicles, makeshift weapons and more. Other survivors are encountered along the way and helping them can provide valuable clues as to what has happened.
Key features:
- Huge Environments – Expansive indoor and outdoor areas of the mall provide a variety of different locations to explore!
- Swarm Technology – Allows an unprecedented amount of enemies on screen at once resulting in nonstop, pulse-pounding action.
- Intense Gore and Vibrant Realism.
- Anything in the mall is at Frank's disposal
- Move environmental objects like table umbrellas or mall benches.
- Snatch items from different stores to use as weapons, including golf clubs, lawnmowers, fry pans and more!
- Chow down on various "mall food" to recover health.
- Real Time System – Key story elements happen at certain times whether Frank is on the spot or not. Don't miss any important events or opportunities!
- Use Frank's Photojournalistic Skills – Capture the insanity on film; the better the shot, the better the reward will be!
- NPCs – Help players navigate through the zombie-infested mall.
- Solve the Mystery – Why has the entire town turned into the undead?

A much better game than the Deluxe verison, uncensored and runs buttery smooth. I love deluxe but nothing beats the classic game even with the ai issues its worth a try for the price.
Better then the remake
Game Review: Dead Rising (2006) Platform(s): Xbox 360, later ported to PS4, Xbox One, and PC Developer: Capcom Genre: Action / Survival Horror Overview Dead Rising, released in 2006, marked Capcom's ambitious leap into the next-gen zombie genre with a distinct twist: instead of focusing on grim survival, it delivered chaotic, over-the-top carnage with a dark sense of humor. Set in a sprawling shopping mall overrun with zombies, Dead Rising puts you in the shoes of Frank West, a freelance photojournalist with one goal: uncover the truth behind the outbreak and survive the 72-hour nightmare. The result? A game that was both groundbreaking and frustrating in equal measure — a cult classic that dared to be different, even when its bold design choices alienated some players. Story Frank West has "covered wars, y'know," and that famous line encapsulates the tongue-in-cheek tone Dead Rising goes for. Arriving via helicopter in the fictional town of Willamette, Colorado, Frank ...
Very good game. Outdated as it may be but still one of the best video games of all time in my book. Also really good game to play if you have the steam deck.
this game is legendary
this game is just better no censorship no changes to the source material (unlike the remake) yes the remake does have some good things but the original just has that charm that the remake well never have.
objectively better than the remake. the voice acting and directing is worlds better.
