That isn’t to say you can’t draw comparisons, but that would be like expecting realistic physics in SSX – and cutting it down for not being a totally different game is unfair. Dead Rising 3 doesn’t compare to the storytelling and realism of The Last of Us, and if you try: you’re doing it wrong. Unfortunately with Dead Rising 3 (DR3) I hadn’t done so, and rather than trying to block them out, I’d like to address some of those points immediately and then get into my review proper.įrankly, this game is as grounded in reality as as Crackdown or Half-Life – and if you give me a moment I’ll tell you why that is absolutely awesome. I, as a game critic, try to avoid reading reviews on games I know I’ll be playing simply because I don’t want my review to be following the path of another.

Your direction is open, and you get to carve a new path in talking about the game.

Consider playing a game that almost no one has, besides those lucky enough to have hands-on with preview/review content.

When writing a review, timing can mean everything.
