Dead Rising - Gameplay

Published 4 December, 2008 Duration 1:40

Gloriously silly and full of throwaway gags, Dead Rising was one of our favourite underdog games. The Wii version might not be too pretty, but swinging your arms around like a twat should ramp up the absurdity nicely.

    Gorgeous N64 graphics.

    Only thing I don't like about the 360 version is that the controls feel quite clunky and a bit unresponsive. Wii version looks really dated though, control should be pretty cool though

    Those controls looked shocking, the reticule was flying all over the place at random it seemed. Also the graphics are pretty bad but that's to be expected.

    Visuals look OK to me.

    Not that it matters.

    I was horrified when they announced this for wii, but (minus the disembowl animation being incomplete :( ) the translation looks ok!

    Probably not worth it for me to buy it again, but if I didn't have it on sexbox I'd probably get it on wii.

    (wonders if people watched the video before jumping in here to tell us how crap the graphics were)

    .. I've just watched it.. big fan of the 360 version.. Looks okay to me - only obvious problem is lack of enemies on screen.. apart from that the shopping mall looks exactly the same (only slightly less shiny)

    This version is built up from scratch on the RE4 engine. Looks very nice and i could not see any graphical flaws except the fact that it has less detail.
    The aiming and shooting system is obviously taken straight from RE4 Wii edition and that is awesome in my opinion giving it an upper hand already from the other version regarding aiming.

    This version will also have an autosave feature that saves whenever you finish a task. The worst flaw in the 360 version was the save system.
    More weapons, more types of zombies, more streamlined mission base.
    I canīt see why this version shouldnīt get a similar score as the 360 version.
