    Frank West, a freelance photojournalist on the hunt for the scoop of a lifetime, pursues a juicy lead to a small suburban town only to find that it is being overrun by zombies!
    He escapes to the local shopping mall thinking it will be a bastion of safety, but it turns out to be anything but. It's a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but with full reign over an entire shopping center, Frank can utilize anything to fight off the flesh-hungry mob.

    Features:
    •Survive in a shopping mall overrun with an army of undead where everything and anything is a weapon.
    •Just because it’s a zombie apocalypse doesn’t mean you can’t be social.
    If you fall to the shambling hoard you can send out a distress call via Facebook or Twitter to your friends.
    If your friends revive you, they will get extra bonus point. If they don't you can rise as a "NAMED ZOMBIE" in their game. Help each other to survive in this nightmare!!
    •Move environmental objects like tables or garbage cans •Chow down on various "mall food" to revive health.
    •Snatch items from different stores to use as weapons, including golf clubs, fry pans and more!
    •Context sensitive controls pop up as need allowing you to perform complex actions with a tap of the button.

    Dead Rising Mobile is both a technical marvel, as it lets you roam a mall freely on your iOS device. But at the same time it suffers from a crude combat system, graphical shortcomings and glitches and a general unpolished feel.

    Sets a low standard for adapting titles to handheld devices and while the gimmick feature of killing zombies with various weapons has remained, it only acts as a reminder of the real gameplay that's missing from this release.

    The main failing for Dead Rising Mobile is that it just isn't interesting enough.

    Dead Rising Mobile isn't the fastest, smartest, or strongest zombie game on the App Store. In other words, it'd be one of the first ones eaten alive.

    Dead Rising Mobile comes as a boring and repetitive third person action game, with clunky controls and mediocre graphics. It has definitely nothing to do with the original game.

    I'm a big zombie and Dead Rising fan, and I can't recommend this game to anyone. It's ugly and not fun to play.

    You might somehow eke a crumb of satisfaction out of discovering new weapons, but the chances are it'll just make you want to boot up the real thing on a home console. The sooner this stench of mobile putrefaction is buried out of sight, the happier we'll all be.

    It's OK. The game is big, but big does not always mean better. The game is drastically worse than it's console counterparts. Not because it'sIt's OK. The game is big, but big does not always mean better. The game is drastically worse than it's console counterparts. Not because it's on iOS, but because the graphics feel unpolished compared to what other games look like. The gameplay is frustrating because the controls feel as though they have been thrown in at the last minute. I would recommend you just save your money and pass on this one.… Expand
