Call us crazy, but when positioning yourself within a city undergoing a full-on zombie assault, a priority ought not to be leaping out of a moving helicopter, falling a hundred feet to the ground, landing on your feet and spurting your liquified pelvis out of the top of your skull. Dead Rising's protagonist is perhaps not the most pragmatic of zombie-killers. Couldn't he have just asked the helicopter to land?

Still, other than that and some other boneheaded moves, this Dead Rising prologue webizode does exactly what it should: have us gnashing at the bit for the full game to come out way. Florian Eckhardt
