Frank West, a freelance photojournalist on the hunt for the scoop of a lifetime, pursues a juicy lead to a small suburban town only to find that it is being overrun by zombies! He escapes to the local shopping mall thinking it will be a bastion of safety, but it turns out to be anything but. It's a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but with full reign over an entire shopping center, Frank can utilize anything to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic.

Encyclopedic overview

Dead Rising is a 2006 action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom originally for the Xbox 360. The game's story follows wartime photojournalist Frank West, who becomes trapped inside a shopping mall in the town of Willamette, Colorado, during a deadly zombie plague. West must uncover the truth behind the plague before a rescue helicopter arrives in three days to evacuate him.

The game is played from the third-person perspective and is open world. The open world is set in a large shopping mall. Frank must survive by scavenging weapons to fight zombies and hostile human enemies. Frank can also escort friendly human survivors back to the mall's safe house. The player has 72 in-game hours (6 hours in real time) to finish the main story. Story and side missions are also individually timed, expiring if not completed on time.
