At first it was pissing me off and frustrating me to no end, but after I learned what kind of a game it was and how things worked, I started to really enjoy it.  There are some parts that will always be frustrating no matter what, and for some boss fights I actually had to resort to youtube for help, but once you get past that stuff it is really great.  I'm on my second playthrough now, 25 hours in according to Steam.  I feel really invested in the game; it's just got this unique style to it.  Kinda feels like an RPG in how I'm customizing my guy and doing missions to level up, and now that I'm learning my way around the casinos and malls I feel really at home, like I felt in WoW when I'd walk into Orgrimmar city, knowing the place like the back of my hand .  Also the co-op is a fun way to help a friend out and kill zombies with them.  
 
I agree with Jeff's review, but it's a hard game to score; like I'd want to give the boss fights and the save system a poor score, but the rest of the game outside of that is so awesome and addicting I want to give it a really high score.  You'll hate it at first, but the people who endure that stuff will be rewarded with many hours of fun. 

I have no desire to play through the rest of this game...so, no. I should have waited to buy it, it'll probably collect dust forever like so many other ill-advised purchases.

Yes, i actually was really interested in this game when i first heard about it, but all the bad game designs scared me.  So i did a ton of research to figure out how to properly play this game, so much research that I actually over researched and kinda burnt out about learning where everything is and how to "play".  When i stopped researching and let go and just played the game, i realized this game is really really really fun.

I'm also on PC... how do I use those cheats?  I don't want to break my game, I want to earn it all, but like if I get to a part where I have only seconds left to beat a mission or my save is ruined... I'd like to be able to give myself more time. "

I want to use trainers just for fun, but I don't want them to effect my achievements or leaderboards. I don't want to 'cheat'.

Nah I love the dead rising gameplay with all it's quirkiness and frustration I just take it all in stride and roll with the punches. 

I wish I could say yes but it's not doing it for me, i'm just not enjoying it very much at all.

Well I loved it from the start because I loved Dead Rising 1.
