I'd stick with RE4, even that had its enemies bodies stay on the ground instead of disappearing

It reminds me of one of those unofficial NES ports.

Don't get why everyone hammers on this game so much. Dudes that don't have a 360 but do have a wii could get into this. Considering it's the wii, they didn't do too terrible a job porting it over. They changed it enough so that it'll actually play decently on the wii.

I still just play it on the 360 but this isn't as bad as all that, come on. Of course it's better on the 360, anyone that actually expected the wii version to be anything more than this from the second it was announced is crazy.

Capcom has been getting alot of flack for this lackluster port (to say the least). I hope that criticism keeps coming, and nobody in their right mind purchases this game and Capcom get's as much crap as they deserve with this shit!

IDK, I hated the first Dead Rising because it was so damn hard, might pick this on Gamefly. I'm looking forward to Deadly Creatures.

These graphics look so photo realistic! I'm almost afraid to buy the game because I don't know if I'm ready for this next gen experience! 10/10! And I haven't even played it yet!

As a Wii game, it's not bad! As a Dead Rising game though, aside form a few things, its not that great.

"As a Wii game, it's not bad!"

Which is why I HATE the Wii...best thing for a friend to have to mess around with for an hour a two every once an a while, but TERRIBLE to own...unless you like the balance board a bit TOO much.

Why do people say "good for a Wii game", they should just say what it is compared to all console games in the same price range, like the 360. Compared to most 360 games this is absolute trash-hole.

I'm sorry, but watching this video makes me truly sad. This game is a joke. I'm sure all of the comments on this video are going to be along those lines, but it really has to be said.

When I first heard that Dead Rising was coming to the Wii, I was obviously skeptical. Then I saw some screenshots, and remember thinking "all right, the graphics are a little dumbed down, but that obviously has to be the case to make the transition to the Wii," and I was okay with it. Then, little by little, information on the game started to trickle out. The biggest dissapointment was hearing that there would be far fewer zombies in any given area. That pretty much ensured that the game would be nothing like its bigger brother on the 360, because the most interesting thing about that game was navigating around and through hordes of zombies.

Zombie parrots? Really? That was the point where it became simply a joke. It's almost like Capcom wanted to make the most ludicrous version of Dead Rising and see if Wii owners were stupid enough to fall for the bait. Well I can tell you this much: I have used my Wii console very little in the time that I've owned it, comparably to every other console I've ever owned, and Dead Rising for the Wii will certainly not change that.

I'm just happy they though it popular enough to make a true sequel in Dead Rising 2, though they did pass it off to another developer, so I have to keep my expectations down on that one, too.

This game looks way too easy compared to the 360 version. They are hurting the dead rising name with this stripped down version.

that looks absolutly terrible! I would recomend that you buy a 360 and Dead Rising instead of this. Wii owners got boned on this one.Just by seeing a video you can already tell thats a bad version of a amazing game. Played DR 4 times through and then played alot of the infinite time mode or whaterer its called.

Im pumped for Dead Rising 2, this not even a single bit.

Man, the dissapointment is almost palpable from the other side of the internet. I wonder if they kept the manequin torso as the boss killer. That weapon messed up everything early on. Huge chunks of lifebars gone. All in all, the Wii version of Dead Rising just looks confusing. I saw how they blocked off parts of the mall so you have to take the long way around simple corridors. Strange. Just strange.

LOL @ "SlapChop: In stores now. Not available in stores. As seen on TV."

  



Another great Quick Look. I won't be picking it up, but I guess this is a decent alternative for Wii owners who want some more zambie-killin' action.

Aside from the improved save system, this looks kind of bad. The zombies don't even move until they're shot!

Whats with the change from the smooth movement of the 360 version to the RE4-style tank controls?
And did they seriously take the jump button out of the game?
I love you Capcom. Why would you do this to us?
