I liked it. It's got me ramped up for DR2, it had achievements, it had a good taste of what's to come and it had a huge amount of zombies!

So, I can see why it did so well.

lol genius move to make people pay for the start of the game before paying the full price for the main game!? They've found another way to make the game cost more overall. We've had Prince of Persia 2008 where they sell you the ending and now Capcom are in on that act getting people paying for the beginning of the game?! genius!
