I think this game would have been excellent if they took out the weapons. Let's be honest here people; we've already killed countless zombies with pistols, rifles, shotguns, bazookas etc. on Resident Evil among other games. The only reason we bought Dead Rising is because this time you kill zombies with everything BUT firearms, so why did they have to include them so much? I would understand if they just added them as a sort of hidden item or something but they actually implement it into the gameplay and force you to use them.
I really loved the demo because there was no need for firearms. Nobody ever said "My favourite weapon is the shotgun from the demo!" because we've all done that before, people were saying how they loved the bowling ball, the skateboard, the katana etc. why did they murder a possible classic with that bull****?
Also towards the end of the game you get special forces all over the mall, do you know how much of a pain they are? Imagine heavily armored enemies who take ages to kill armed with machine guns and usually travel in groups so it's near impossible to take them out with melee weapons unless they're alone. This game had so much potential and it was ruined by just a few things, a big shame.
