Is Dead Rising: Case Zero worth 400 Points?

[BLQQDCQRE]

No Sh*T Sherlock!

[l.maciver]

400msp is a bargain, ive played 1200msp games and they sucked more than this.

[KFZ Scrubs]

This is a freaking steal. It isn't very long but it's replayability is pretty high!
It's fun and if you're buying the second game then it's a good idea to get a lil boost from the game. Plus, easy 200 compared to other arcade games and it's... well it's just awesome!

At the risk of sounding cheap, I played the trial and I'm happy to wait until it's on Deal of the Week.

Deal of the week? i havnt seen any other game that is 400msp dotw other than sonic and that was on sonics birthday.

[Lonegunman718]

i was ready and willing to pay 1200points when it was announced at 400points i knew it was a steal. people keep saying its only two hours are wrong. yes you could run through it fast but you will most likely need to replay it a couple times to get the full 200gs short of using a guide. with each play through being around 2 hours you more than get your moneys worth even if not a deadrising fan. i have beaten the game at least 10 times and still enjoy it. so just pick it up

[PakoRawr]

One fine and real cheap game, it's totally worth it .

[ayoungrad]

If you liked the original, this is absolutely worth the money...

I didn't really enjoy the original that much, but I loved this.

[TriRock]

Yes it's worth it. Had a very good time playing it and started to think whether I should get the full game after all.

[lordponcho]

Yes, it could have been included in the full game, but how many games have released a DLC mission with this much substance for more points? It's a brilliant teaser, and a nice little stand alone game. I'm glad I got it.

[Sam is Psych0]

yes, i would have payed 800 points to be honest.

[Brutalsleeper]

I've seen worse DLC for 800 MSP so having this for 400 MSP without having to buy the full game brilliant.

[gameplayer]

I've never had so much fun for just 400 points. When you look at the map for Dead Rising 2 you can see that Zero is just a tenth of the size. Good times ahead for sure.

[Mister Spraggsy]

Like many others I have payed more then 400 points for DLC and other Arcade games. This has got to be the best 400 points I have spent so far.

You get a couple of hours of fun, I nice sample of whats to come in Dead Rising 2 and you can carry stuff over.

Overal it must be the best game you can buy on the Marketplace for 400 points.

[Darth Stigious]

This is by far the BEST 400msp game I've ever played. Even if you think of it as a demo it's still genius. Others may think they are just trying to make more money, if that was the case they would've upped the price. ABSOLUTELY worth the time and money.

[Comben]

Thanks to everyone for the replies some of them really made me smile

From all of the comments, I would say that 98% of people say this game is worth the money. So it looks like I will be making my first, yes first MS points purchase.

My rant please skip it if you want “I have always hated the idea of points, cos I think they’re a massive con making you buy them in weird totals so you can never spend them properly, so you end up buy more and more while Microsoft makes interest on your money. For example DR: CZ is 400 points, so if you paid with money it would cost say £3.50, but with points you have to buy 800 which cost £7 pounds and then you don’t spend the rest of points for a while, so MS have effectively made the interest from £3.50 until you spend the remaining points. If you factor this in across the world, then MS probably make enough money from this each year for me to live off in a lifetime.”

Anyway back to the topic and with that rant over I will get DR: CZ with some free points I recently got, so here goes!!

Oh and one final point, It also looks like the majority of people as saying it really is a stand alone game and not to view it as a demo. I am interested in what a couple of people said when saying that it should have been free with a pre-order but I suppose when it all boils down to it, I get an arcade game with 200 for only 400 points. Not bad, but M$ still feel it necessary to make money on everything!!! haha

Thanks again everyone.

Actually, that NBA 2K10 Draft Combine has been up at 240MSP, and so has Chime. The Sonic games (1 - 3 & S&K) were all at 240MSP for Sonic's birthday, but Sonic 2 has been up separately for a deal of the week before that.

Not that I think DR:CZ is likely to be on Deal of the Week any time soon, I'm just saying I'm happy to wait and see if it does. If it does, brilliant I get an awesome deal. If it doesn't, oh well I probably won't really miss the game.

[Zenith94x]

If they added a little co op feature, even if it was just free roam in the town, it would be 100% worth the points.

Yes. It's a great game.

[bloodkiller15]

yes it is i love case zero i really want to play DR2 allready and yes again get it it kicks ass

[ooh ahh mcgrath]

Its defo worth 400mp,if they would of released this as DLC after the game came out for double that price no-one would complain,a bargain compared with most of the overpriced marketplace content these days(e.g MW2 map packs.)

[McGoogles]

Is Dead Rising: Case Zero worth 400 microsoft points? Does the Pope defend pedophiles?

On a more serious note, yes it is definitely worth the price. Extremely fun gameplay, achievements, your data carries over to the full game, etc.. I recommend it to anyone.

[David x360a]

Sure, it's worth 400 MSP, but only for the 200. It's a good enough game, but the loading times are horrible. Also, it seems to be somewhat bugged. And I don't like the whole time limit aspect of the game.

I didn't enjoy the first game at all, and I don't think I will buy the sequel. This 'demo' or what you may call it is too flawed in too many ways for me to believe I'll like it.

thats true, for 200g and 400pnts you can always give it a crack, its not like its 1200pnts using a huge chunk, at 400 id expect people mostly to go for the achieves and entice people into getting the sequel, wont work on everyone tho :P.

[DarkManX]

You get what you pay for for $5 its preety good.

[ZiM1021]

What if you never played the original, really have no interest in the upcoming game, and have 400 points to burn?

If you have 400 points to burn and only care about the gamerscore then go for it; it's a really easy 200G.

I'm sure you'll like it, too.

then you should get it, free easy 200 points, not hard at all

[TFU]

If you're on the fence about buying it or you know you will, definitely pick it up. 400MS is a steal.

If you're not really into Dead Rising, it's at least an easy 200 achievement points.
