This, like my Dead Rising 2 review, is copy/pasted from my original review on GameSpot. So don't say I copied it, and enjoy.

the prequel to dead rising 2 is exactly what I expected it to be, in a good way, it is a cheap way of getting a good idea of what the game is going to be about. the story is a pretty simple one and will probably not be mentioned in the actual game and that is that chuck Greene, a former motor-cross champion, and his daughter just escaped a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas and Katie, chucks daughter has been bitten and now must be given a new experimental drug called zombrex on their way out of Nevada they stop at a small town called still creek and their car is stolen a zombie outbreak occurs and they must escape before the military arrive to take away Katie by building a bike and getting out of there. one of the best things about this is the weapons, like the first game everything and anything is a weapon but this time they have added combo weapons to your arsenal, meaning that chuck can tape together two objects and boom he has a new weapon(there are limitations though as you can only tape together weapons that they say you can leading to only 7 combos in the game) also something worth noting is the amazing number of zombies on screen that you can kill, I have to admit its a piece of work. one of the only setbacks involves the last level where you ride your newly constructed bike out of town and the problem is that the controls and handling on it suck, you will constantly be bumping in to things slowing you down but fortunately it is only one level and can easily be looked over. all in all this game is a good buy and for only 5 dollars(400 Microsoft points) it is easily worth more than you pay for it.

So overall I give it a 9.0
