I'm playing the 360 version for the first time. It's interesting to see how similar/different the Wii version is when compared to the original.

In stores now. Chop til you drop.

Why play this when the 360 version is much better and probably 1/2 the price??

I have mixed feelings on this, on one hand it's everything I'd want in a Dead Rising game on the other hand it's also everything I don't want in a Dead Rising game.

I know you folks like to play on Normal- because that's what most people will play. However- Normal might be tuned down for ease of use for people who've never played Dead Rising. Maybe Hard would be a better test of what the game is capable of- unless that's only a damage/health variation.

Wow, this looks so much worse than I previously expected and if Dead Rising didn't already exist, I honestly still think this would suck. Just the graphics and controls look terrible!

The Only thing that makes this game worth anything...is that it's a second release of some sort featuring our favourite: Frank West.

Prestige Points guys, Prestige Points! that's why they are still there, gawd!

Weird having those 360 cutscenes.

The zombies aren't even running towards him. They are more scenery than enemies. What a joke game.

Dude, they totally just ripped the RE4 shotgun reload animation. Well I guess it's Capcom so they aren't ripping off themselves?

I'm sorry, but this game looks like ass. Dead Rising for the 360 is one of my favorite games and this is an insult to it. Why can't people just buy a real console (which is now cheaper than the wii) and play the real version instead of this one which has been beaten to death with a the gimp stick.

Bootsy game.

Dead Rising with a shortage of zombies and no time pressure? No thank you.

Woeful looking game, the worst looking Capcom game in years imo. Capcom should be throughly ashamed they made this crap.

A Capcom rep recently said this game exists because Zack and Wiki on Wii did not sell well :roller:

I love these quick looks because no other gaming site does these and it feels like what you'd do when you buy a new game and your friends are watching you play.

This game looks really shit.

Also theres something about slow zombies that ain't scary and thats why L4D and 28 days later used fast zombies.

That seems a little too stripped down, I loved the original.

I think I would totally play this game though if you guys were there to eviscerate it.

This looks a lot different from the 360 version. You can't even break the glass or get into the water, that's ridiculous. Can you even jump?
