While i got the ending b, i can say i sorta finished Dead Rising 1 and got a gist of it at the very least. I really enjoyed this game, truly one of the most unique games i've played. Gameplay is as advertised: you really get to use anything in the environment against the zombies, plus slaying them has never been more fun. Also the time management aspect added an interesting aspect where i had to manage whether to save someone or focus on the story. Game's without its annoying moments for sure tho, since there were instances of frustrasting bosses so i resorted to minichainsaws for those encounters, and the iconic dumb survivors are as dumb as they say. Also the zombie numbers is outright insane how the hell they pulled this off i'll never know.
Either way, game absolutely earns its replay value plus the knowledge of the layout of the shopping mall will come in handy for future playthroughs. Very fun game.

THE ONLY SITUATION WHEREIN THE DEMO IS BETTER THAN THE GAME'S RELEASE!
Killing zombies in this game is fun. If it was just that and saving survivors whilst killing psychopaths then it would be perfect. But no, this game is unbalanced and unfriendly to new players. The story constantly gets in the way of having fun. The campaign feels like it's actually holding the player back. Who dosen't just love losing your items after getting kidnapped by the Eyes Wide Shut cult. Not to mention navigation is incredibly hindered from the get go because somebody thought it was a good idea to make THE CONVICTS ON A HUM V WITH A RAILGUN THE FIRST BOSS! They spawn in literally at the courtyard, so you can't avoid them and they make the game a pain to play because you basically gotta RNG kill them when your severely under leveled and slow. Also, the survivor A.I is incompetent. billions will die, when Frank tries to save them because they'll randomly run off into a crowd of zombies to get mauled, get stuck easily, or fight zombies way over in Timbuktu instead of following me only to get mauled. This game is more of a tech demo for much better sequels which came. Killing zombies is fun, but goddamn the developers went out of their way to make sure you wouldn't get to enjoy that.
