Okay, this game is a couple of years old, but I had such a blast playing it last fall and winter that I ended up writing a bit of a walkthrough to being able to save the maximum number of survivors.
Save the Max - Dead Rising Walkthrough
The game is a zombie survival game where you play a photo journalist named Frank who ends up in a barricaded mall during a zombie infestation (ala Dawn of the Dead - though the packaging claims no affiliation). The purpose of the game is to survive 72 hours of game time. Although open ended, sandbox, games are all the rage, I don't think there is another game as open ended as this. You could investigate the source of the zombie invasion, try and save survivors, deal with various psychopaths, or just spend your time killing endlessly respawning zombies. Yeck, you could even finish the game doing nothing, never leaving the safe room the game provides.
The game is far from perfect. Some of the game mechanics and design choices can get very frustrating, the survivor and psycho AI and voice acting are annoyingly limited, and the instant zombie respawn is cheap, but I've completed the game at least four or five times which means, at least in my mind, it did some things right.
Anyway, the walkthrough is just how to save as many survivors as you possibly can. If you have the game, give it a shot.
