While it’s an interesting idea and nice to to get an intriguing glimpse into how certain things in the city came to be, you barely get to spend any time with the character, making it hard to become attached to their short story. The whole premise of the ‘Untold Stories’ is to fill in a few of the mysteries of the city, as captured – and told – by an observing third-party who uses the city’s surveillance technology.

Operation Broken Eagle throws players into the shoes of Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane, who is tasked with infiltrating Los Perdidos and capturing the president. How does Dead Rising 3’s first downloadable episode, Operation Broken Eagle fare then? Not great, unfortunately. Dead Rising 3 is on the other end of the spectrum, relying on its gameplay for The Untold Stories of Los Perdidos rather than its stories – a lot like the main game. While that wasn’t anywhere near as compelling as the main game, its emphasis fell on its story, rather than its gameplay. Funnily enough, it was only last year when Telltale Games, with their zombie-orientated and emotionally crippling Walking Dead game, opted to do something very similar to what Capcom Vancouver has decided with Dead Rising 3, and that’s tell a series of mini-stories like 400 Days, all within the scope of the franchise it's building.
