As far as crashing goes, it's not that bad. I had some crashes at start-up, when quitting game, and when going to the survivor bulletin board. The game autosaves so chances are you won't lose much progress and by the time you read this, I'm sure these issues have been patched.

As far as the game goes, it is definitely a fun open world zombie game. It's not as good as the past games mostly due to the less interesting story and characters and lack of challenge in story mode, but as far as gameplay is concerned is much more polished than the last games. The controls are perfect and are very responsive. Killing zombies have never been more fun with the plethora of weapons and unique combinations. You can combine vehicles now to get a huge variety of zombie killing machines. If the game didn't feel like a bunch of side-missions strung together to form a complete game, I'd give it a higher score.

More than anything I have a problem with the color pallette and desaturation. The games were originally based off George Romero and his color films tend to be really bright and colorful, which explains why Dead Rising games have always been this way, but now with the lack of color and more serious tone, I find it hard to spot useful items and weapons from a distance. Speaking of which, it's a pain in the ass to pick up the item you want when there are multiple because you have to both face your character towards the item and center that item on the screen. I have juggled multiple items because of this.

Otherwise good game and the crashing isn't that bad and can be fixed / tolerated by going through this troubleshooting guide: http://www.crashwiki.com/10-fixes-dead-rising-3-apocalypse-edition-crashes-lag-black-screen-d3d-dll-error-untold-stories-dlc/
