Ok, I know how to kill the convicts in the jeep, I have 27x (from books) adam's chainsaws. I just suck. I can't do it.

I want to go into the gun shop and kill cleatus, but he kicks my arse and I can't get near him enough to get him to past 50% - he just picks me up, throws me down and shoots me in the face some more, nor can I successfully hide behind the displays, he keeps managing to hit me at least 2/6 shots. So I can't replenish my health easily:(

What am I doing wrong?

I'm level 18, which means I have 6 health slots.
 
Best way I found at that level was to move to an area with lots of trees and stand behind one, let them drive at it, and more often than not they get stuck for a short period of time

At which point you just go nuts with the chainsaws, but just so you know, when you kill them, they spawn back the next day :(
 
They only respawn if you leave the jeep alive ;)

Kill, steal jeep, destroy jeep - sorted :D

As for killing them?

As above really however if your stuck there try using guns - cops in Wonderland have tons of pistols and you should be able to get your hands on a few. SMG's in Paradise and Al Fresco Plazas

Also make sure you set the camera options up properly for easy shooting.

When you pull the trigger to get first person mode for guns you can choose aim in Camera direction or Franks direction - I couldn't use guns at all until I changed that setting to camera direction :)


Cletus is a PITA too - best method I found was mini chainsaws, quickstep drink and hide behind a display wait until he drinks/reloads and run/jump at him and swipe, swipe - 2 or 3 hits max and he should drop - he might try to throw you if your not quick enough with your attacks so be careful :)
 
love this game...

havent killed the jeep yet, just run away and avoid them as best I can, but have killed the clown.

half the time i waste by general slaughtering, however have been massacred a few times as it can get overwhelming :D
 
I've just beat overtime mode. Add me to the list who wasn't that impressed when he started but really enjoyed it as the game went along. I think what makes it seem so bad at first is you don't know where the save points are by memory and so its easy to go along time without saving at first and so can be frustrating when you die.

Anyways I've just unlocked 00 mode. What exactly do you have to do? Does it add to the story or is it just a little mini game extra?

It was the only thing I never got round to doing. You basically have to survive for 5 days / 7 days with limited food / energy. Oh, and you can't save so you have to do it one sitting without making a mistake. It's all about maximing what you get from foods (from health books etc) and killing the odd psycho (they drop food). It's funny, I was just looking at maybe getting the game again to try this and get 1000/1000 (currently at 940/1000).

For Cletus I think I stood outside the doors. He wont shoot you if you're not inside, but you can shoot him.

Me too , open both doors and you can get an angle and distance that you can hit him from wherever he stands but he will seldom get you - I smoked him with just a pistol.

Just watch your back for the zombies attacking you from behind now and then.

Did anyone else think Isabella was uncomfortably hot for a video game character! :D
:D :D :rolleyes:

TO kill the guy in the gunshop, activate his scene then run outside his gunshop, kill the zombies and shoot him from there (In this position you can slightly hurt him, but he can't hurt you)

I think in both cases, Uzi's for the win IIRC. Just tool yourself up with Uzis, health* 27x chainsaws and go hunting.

*By health I mean any concoctions
Where do you get uzis and the chainsaws? I already beat Adam but I've used up the two chainsaws you get from him. Can you get more?

Your joking right. If you have adams chainsaw(s) (i says saws as you should have at least 2). Walk up to jeep, a few swings of the chainsaw later and its all over - take out the driver first.

Have a scan of the guide i wrote on my blog :)|

/shameless plug

EDIT: btw his chainsaws spawn everytime you exit and then re-enter the area where you first fourght him. Although if you have the books i recommend 2 (3 max) chainsaws will last the whole game.

THere is one uzi at the edge of the ledge on the right of the stairs near the restaurant in the fist part of the mall.

There is also one in the fountain (iirc) in the "Indoors/Outdoors section" (the opposite doors to wonderland after fighting carlos)

Yes the Chainsaws Respawn, where you killed Adam.

Clearly you did not kill enough Zombies. I went through about 10 mini chainsaws at least.

Oh I seriously can't wait for a sequel. It doesn't help that the FMV in Deady Rising is possibly some of the best I've seen either, cos she looks the bomb! :eek:

Hey there didn't realize you were back posting on the forum, good to see!

On a less pleasant note I think you should stay the **** away from my lass! :D
