Dead Rising Wii review from Game Reactor (Swedish game mag)
- The zombies are even stupider than in the 360-version
- The new gameplay-mechanic is much more dependent on firearms that melee. Combining this with the fact that zombies are far fewer the game relies more on just running around gunning down zombies with shotguns, making for a much more "relaxed" gameplay than the 360-version.
- Negative things: the camera, sound and graphics
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Video game remakes are a special thing, as typically no one sets out to remake a game that was poorly received when it was originally launched but instead it’s usually only the best of the best that get the remake treatment. Games that reviewed well, were a hit with fans and (maybe most importantly) sold well are often chosen for remakes (why do you think there are so many Final Fantasy and Zelda remakes?) so it stands to reason that most remakes – are typically quite good (check out our list of the best remakes ever)… typically. So today we’re dragging these games out of the gutter to remember why they earned the title of worst remakes of all time, whether it’s because they turned a perfectly good experience sour or are just bad games in their own right."
SuperPhillip Central writes, "The staff at SuperPhillip Central loves games. We live them, we breathe them, we bathe with them, etc. However, we sometimes go outside the norm with our reviews, bashing titles that many others enjoyed, and heralding other games that have received poor scores or negative feedback within the gaming community. This article focuses on the latter type of games. As the title suggests, this is our second go at representing the games that a sizable chunk of gamers and critics lambasted yet we still enjoy."
"Halloween 2012 is almost here, and over the next few days we will see how many hours Wii owners in the US have reported playing different zombie related games. Do zombies drink coffee? It probably depends on your definition of zombie, but apparently they do like shopping malls.
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop was released for the Wii on February 24, 2009 with a MSRP of $39.99. The game received an ESRB rating of "MATURE" with "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours of gameplay can you expect from Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, and how many more US Wii owners and hours have been reported battling zombies in Colorado with Frank West since the last report? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Jesus! A 7! How'd in manage that?
Just give me Dead Rising 2 already so everyone can forget about this abomination. All the new crap they added in the game (focus on firearms!?) to make it a more casual, "relaxed" experience, makes this an very untrue successor to Dead Rising IMO.
stupider? this guys whole review makes no sense. he was too busy ruushing his review. ill wait for a couple professional reviews good or not , then make my decision.
hey 7 still means it's a good play.
I got the 360 version a while back but never really got into it.. i'll consider making a fresh start with this.
