The upcoming Xbox 360-exclusive title, Dead Rising, will not make it to the shelves in Germany. The Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK), Germany's official software rating organisation, have taken offence to the violent nature of the zombie killing fests (sounds like a great advertisement). Germany are notorious for banning games that are too violent, which have included Quake 1,2 and 3,Doom 1 and 2, and the admittedly violent game, Manhunt.

It may well be worth buying an extra copy and sticking it on Ebay with a high reserve, no doubt they'll be some blood thirsty Germans eager to snap them up quicker than sh*t of a shovel. You can't beat a bit of negative publicity for increasing game sales.

Dead Rising features an open level of freedom and offers a vast array of gameplay possibilities. As part of a real time system, time is dynamic in Dead Rising, marching onwhether Frank is actively engaged or if he is stationary. Time also plays a role as zombies become more powerful when the sun goes down. Though they move slowly during the day, the zombies become stronger and faster at night, making it even more dangerous for players to survive. The unprecedented numbers of enemies come in never-ending waves and consist of a diverse population of former humans that have retained some memory of their previous lives, which is reflected in their behavior and appearance.The variety of different stores in the mall offers players an endless supply of resources including vehicles, makeshift weapons and more. Players will also encounter other survivors along the way and by helping them can acquire valuable clues as to whathas happened.
