Summary
Dead Rising 3 puts you in the zombie-ravaged city of Los Perdidos, California. Do you have what it takes to escape before a military strike wipes out the entire city. As mysterious mechanic Nick Ramos, you'll rely on improvised weapons to battle off the hordes of undead while you explore the massive open world. Set 10 years after the events of Fortune City in Dead Rising 2, players are introduced to Nick Ramos, a young mechanic with a strange tattoo and a mysterious past, who must find a way to escape a city full of zombies before an impending military strike wipes the city of Los Perdidos, and everyone in it, off the map. Nick can't do it alone - he must join up with other survivors to stay alive.

On the whole, Dead Rising 3 is a worthy successor to the series. You're given a massive amount of area to explore and you're properly rewarded for doing so. It's a shame that the tone takes a little bit of a slide back towards gritty realism, but there's still plenty of little Capcom references, and nothing is stopping you from dressing Nick up in a sports mascot uniform and throwing machine-gun-wielding robotic teddy bears at the zombies.
In some ways Dead Rising 3 doesn't feel like a sequel at all. It's a sloppy, loose and ugly looking game, lacking the finely tuned foundations of most games in their third iterations. Its problems, though many, are somewhat saved by all of the effortless fun had dicing up zombies with bizarre weaponry. Capcom hasn't managed to clean the blood off this flawed diamond. In some ways it may even have tarnished it further. But a diamond it remains.
