The game pretty much plays exactly like a demo, however, everything you do within the game, to a certain point, transfers across to Dead Rising 2 (carried over PP for example). But there are also Achievements to unlock and multiple ways to play through. It's suggested though, that the strong response to this could be a caveat for other publishers offering paid demos on Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network if they had actual gameplay incentives attached (such as Trophies or Achievements), and while Case Zero really won't set you back that much (400 MS Points - AU$6.60), it presents an interesting case.
Have you checked it out yet? Would you pay for a demo if it offered gameplay incentives or even exclusive features the full game won't?

It has huge amounts of replayability, and its a prequal story to the game that isnt necessary to enjoy the full game.
to me its just a cheaply priced short arcade title.
Had someone made me pay for the first level of any video game, i would refuse, but if someone offers me up a slice of storyline that wont be featured in the full game and gives me a good taste of whats to come, then f*** yeah! $6 is nothing.
For example, when half life was release they had a demo for the game, the demo itself wasnt featured in the full game.. id gladly pay a few bucks for that, half life was a new ip though and id be slightly hesititant to pay for a demo of a game that i knew very little about in terms of quality.
I really think the only reason Dead Rising: Case Zero was a success was on teh basis that it's fundamentally the same as the original so fans new exactly what to expect, for and for $6 they can play in a new location with new weapons for a month prior to release.

I also landed on the game's Leaderboard at like number 7 or something in the first few days of play (probably last now, I haven't checked in a while) ;)
