Mr Deap, you don't need proof, since anyone can create a free silver European or US account.

@ Revheadnz Maybe the full game is going to get banned in New Zealand, which is maybe why you can't get it.

A PROOF THAT I'M GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also you can see all the demo I've downloaded.

I believe you Mr Deap, since I was just giving out an example.

The game is fun for a while, but it burnt out on me really quick, it's just another sandbox game with lots to do, with little in the way of actual direction, at least that's the impression the demo gave me.

It was fun, but I doubt I'll buy it, it's probably a rent only title.

 

[Pebb]

How can you call this a sandbox game, when you have not played the full version.

I will buy that sandbox games for sure! 👍

It’s not even classed as a sandbox game, but it’s a Zombie survival game with missions. Anyway Dead Rising takes Zombie games to the next level.

 

[CDailey]

Does anyone have any idea how long this game is gonna be? I don't wanna pay $60 if it's only gonna be around 10 hours or so.

I'm not so sure you understand what a sandbox game is.

A sandbox-style video game (or a video game with an optional sandbox mode) is a video game with an open-ended and non-linear style of gameplay, or a mode of gameplay within a game that is more often played in a goal-directed manner. The sandbox analogy is used to describe this style of gaming because, as with a physical sandbox, the user is simply allowed to do what he or she wishes (with the available game elements and within the limitations of the game engine - the metaphoric toys within, and bounds of, the sandbox).

This game has all of the said characteristics.

 

[Pebb]

I still reckon its not classed as a sandbox game.

It has sandbox gameplay, but it isn't a true sandbox. Sandbox games are pretty much unlimited and allow you to play the game constantly after you beat it.

You only play the game for 72 hours before it ends. I actually can not wait to see how the game ends at the 72 hour mark.👍

 

[CDailey]

Ohh! So the game just suddenly ends at 72 hours? Sounds awesome! Looks I'll be buying this then!

72 hours is the minimum, there are achievements for lasting 5 days and 7 days

4. 3 Day Survivor - TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Survive for at least 72 hours.
4. 5 Day Survivor - TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Survive for at least 5 days.
5. 7 Day Survivor - TYPE: 1 Play REQ: Survive for at least 7 days.

The unlimited time mode, can only be unlocked by the true ending, which I think is miss the helicopter?

Question, does it require you to actually play for 72 real hours, or is there an in-game timelapse that goes a lot faster?

 

[Pebb]

I cannot remember, but I think you can play the full 72 hours with a saving option?

 

[Jeremy Ricci]

It...is...a...sand...box...game.

Time limit or not, when you beat it, you can come back and continue to play as long as you like and last as long as you like through other modes, and this has been confirmed. It is a sandbox games, and has all of the sandbox game elements.

That is not a bad thing, it's just not my cup of tea, since this game is merely hack and slash with tons of weapons.

 

[Pebb]

Jeremy I am not even going to argue with you, I reckon it's a non sandbox game, while you are happy to think, what you think.

In the demo every 5 minutes real-time in an hour in the game. Doing the Maths, 72 hours will be 6 hours.

Ah well, that kinda changes everything. But I'm still getting it.

I wouldn't say the game is COMPLETELY Sandbox but it has almost all of its features:

Common features of sandbox-style video gaming

* Never-ending gameplay: The user is allowed to play forever, and the game (or mode) is generally designed with this in mind rather than the completion of particular goals or levels in order to reach a grand finale.
* Freedom to experiment: The player can choose his or her own path in the game, either with no consequences or with consequences that can later be undone (often resulting in a flexible and organic development of the player's character or even of the entire game).
* Non-linear or nonexistent plot. If there is a plot at all, the player can simply ignore it, or there is a branching plot that evolves based on user choices (resulting in a game that is never the same twice).

As it seems now you can keep on playing the game after 72 hours, it is obviously a Sandbox game - nothing at all wrong with that.

There will be things missons in the unlimited mode, like trying to get the food before other surviors. Anyway, Camaro not long till you be playing the full game.

Anyone else get the sword yet? That thing is awesome! Cuts them right in half from the shoulder all the way to the crotch. Also if you hold the X button down each weapon does something different. The sledge hammer will wipe anyone out around you. The Sickel does a 360 swipe cutting legs off of any zobie anywhere around. The guitar will also do a 360 degree spin and kill any of the zombies. So experiment with each weapon and hold the X button down for more effective hits.
I read through all the replies since my last post. For those that are confused with the 72 hour. Thats when your helicopter comes back to pick you up. You dont have to get on the helicopter. You dont even have to do any of the side missions. You can just go around killing enemies. Surviving for 7 days will be a lot harder than you think. You would have to go thru the game a couple times to get all the achievements. I will be interrested in seeing how the 72 hours compares to real life time.
I also wonder if your energy goes down if you dont eat, even if you arent attacked by a zombie. Like in real life if you dont eat you will fatigue and eventually die.

You should be able to make Zombie BBQ.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

You should be able to make Zombie BBQ.

There is a way to blow up or even cook them. I saw cooking oil and there are propane tanks in some of the trailers. And the zombies make plenty of BBQ sauce when you shoot them . I also think the zombies stay thru the entire game. They never disappear so by the end there will be thousands of bodies laying around. One of the achievements is to walk 33 feet (10 meters) on the backs of zombies using the Zombie Ride. I also found a way to walk on top of the zombies heads while they are standing up.

 

[Pebb]

The zombies hands make for good zombie mouth plugs lol.

Now I wish I had pre-ordered this game. I just called my local EB store and they said they have more PRe-orders than they have games. Looks like I might not be able to get this tomorrow or wednesday. I am going after work today to pre-order it that way when the 2nd shipment comes in I will have the game. I cant believe I didnt pre-order it a long time ago.
