The player’s abilities improve by defeating the crime lords and their supporters, as well as completing optional activities, such as street races and scavenger hunts. The gameplay is nonlinear, instead of adhering to a set mission sequence, players are free to select the approach to completing their missions and activities as they wish.
N.B. The sales information based on total games sold has been collated from Wikipedia and is correct as of April 2011. The definition of exclusive games in this article is meant to denote games that have not appeared on any other console (i.e. Sony Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii).
The need to include the sales from the PC version of Gears of War is due to the Wikipedia article indicating it was not possible to distinguish between the sales from the Xbox 360 and the PC version.
Dead Rising made the list as an exclusive Xbox 360 title because a ‘remake’ for the Wii console (which was released under a different name – Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop) had several changes from the original Xbox 360 version and so believe this an acceptable ‘exclusive’ title for the Xbox 360.
