And that myopic style of design is probably the best recommendation for Dead Rising 3.
Every part of the game exists in service to the simple act of knocking over zombies like so many shuffling bowling pins. The Los Perdidos streets are destroyed in such a way so as to funnel the creatures into confined spaces where they can be driven through en masse. Each campaign and side mission, regardless of how the narrative dresses up the action, is all about dispatching waves of zombies. Each of the weapons proves itself by offering new and novel ways of levelling crowds of the undead. Despite the sense of repetition that can arise from spending hours with a game so dedicated to its primary gimmick, there’s something admirable about an experience centred totally on the wholesale slaughter of zombies and nothing else.

The sadistic female police officer who communicates entirely in sex jokes (“It’s not fair. It’s far less successful when applied to a cast of “whacky” characters who more regularly come off as repugnant than actually funny. The tone is light-hearted throughout and the game’s sense of humour is great when it’s confined to gags like Nick’s bizarre item combinations (a teddy bear strapped with machine guns or a motorcycle decked out with flamethrowers). To accomplish this goal, Nick is bounced around an open world full of the mindless undead, a vicious military presence, aggressive bikers, and a number of ordinary people whose personality has been changed-for better or worse-by the collapse of their city. Dead Rising 3 stars Nick Ramos, a young mechanic with a mysterious background who wants nothing more than to escape zombie-infested Los Perdidos with his group of fellow survivors.
