It's this severe push for gamers to be determined and persistent enough to explore every nook and cranny in Dead Rising that makes it either a splendid, geeky Pandora's Box full of unrelenting challenge and rewards or controller-smashingly difficult because of its hardcore mentality. If you've got the urge to save the world from a zombie invasion and won't let things like a wonderfully skewed difficulty level or some stressful multi-tasking stop you - Capcom's got your Valentine in Dead Rising.
