Dead Rising -- Initial Impression.

I've spent numerous hours messing around with the demo which hit Xbox Live Marketplace last Friday. I have been eagerly awaiting Dead Rising for months. The game starts out with a very cool playable intro and it sets the mood perfectly. The game proper starts and it becomes like a speed bump. What the hell is going on here? It's going to take some adjusting to how the game is going to have to be played. It's not going to be so free form as the demo. Nor is it going to be as easy. The demo starts you at level ten. The game starts you at level one. The difference is actually pretty major. There is going to be some good fun here, it's just going to be a different kind of fun. Leveling up and restarting with your carried over stats and the like. Hopefully along the way we'll see lots of the chaotic and creative zombie slaughtering fun that was presented in the demo and the time to enjoy it.
