just ordered myself Dead Rising, gunna get into it when im home hopefully.

Question though is it quite a frustrating game? I can get quite annoyed at things easily, however I found the demo quite amusing just going around throwing stuff at the zombies etc :\

Just realise that compared to your average game, where you can do and see everything in one sitting it cannot be done in Dead Rising. This is what seems to annoy a lot of gamers. I however find that as it's best feature.

do you have to keep the books, for the skills?

Maybe it's just me but it feels like the machete is better than the mini chainsaw.

Apart from the fact the chainsaws last the whole game - you'd need two absolute max. Have a look at my guide.

There are bought 35 different books, each giving you different advantages. For example, whilst doing the genocide achievement (if thats your thing) hold the book that gives your more PP for killing zombies - you'll level up faster. When you have the mini chainsaws hold 3 specific books that makes things last longer. This way the cvhainsaws can last the whole game.

Have a look at this extensive book list
