Well, this week, Crackdown is the #2 played game on 360 Live, whereas the Halo 3 beta is #3. Nice!

I also agree with commentors who state the video was too long. Great start, lost it in the middle, seriosly over-indulgent ending. Don't bother continuing, it is not needed.

Judd.

Survivors will happily stand still, but you do have to tell them where to stand first. They follow you by default, but the game uses a waypoint system. This is mentioned in the manual, and also in the game when you meet one of them. You can't complain about the lack of a system that you just didn't use.

Also, there is a 'do whatever the fuck you like' mode in Dead Rising. It comes once you complete 72 hour mode. There are actually several different ways to complete 72 hour mode, as well. Only one of these involves saving survivors and following the missions. You can, as one poster above pointed out, just stand in the security room until the helicopter comes back should you choose to do that.

Your complaints are therefore irrelevant. Dead Rising is a phenomenal game, and since the article suggests that people like yourself are too entrenched in current game rules, then perhaps the article is the most relevant thing you could ever read!

Acheivment pics as gamerpics FTW! Seriously, beating Call of Duty 2 on the hardest difficulty, surviving a million in Geometry Wars, and 7-day surviving Dead Rising are all bragworthy acheivments.

GG Burger King, though. Cheap games and free pics are very nice. Now release the damn games in Europe already!
