Dead Rising 2006

Is it still worth playing?

Wartime photojournalist Frank West is trapped in a shopping mall in the town of Willamette, Colorado, during a deadly zombie plague, in this 2006 open world action adventure from Capcom. He has to uncover the truth behind the plague before a rescue helicopter arrives in three days. The 72 in game hours last six hours in real time, and story and side missions are individually timed. Frank scavenges all manner of unusual weapons from the mall to use against zombies, psychopaths and cultists, and he can escort survivors back to the mall's safe house. Failing a case file does not end the game, and clearing them all unlocks Overtime Mode, then an Infinity mode with no limit. The original had a single save slot, and later releases added more. Surviving a mall full of zombies against the clock is still a very particular challenge.
