Nintendo Life writes: "It's nice that Capcom have at least tried to bring the essence of Dead Rising to Wii- after all the original was a commercial success on the 360. Sadly, this "Wii-telling" has had to suffer quite badly in the visual department, which effected the game substantially- reducing its lasting appeal even further. In its defence, the Wii controls work well: on the most part, and for a while at least, Dead Rising IS fun to play - but it simply doesn't last". 6/10
