    Dead Rising 4 has a bit of an identity crisis. It neither commits to the open-world aspect enough to be considered exemplary in the genre, nor does it deliver enough of the mainstays of the series to satisfy longtime fans. Unfortunately, Dead Rising 4 marks the low point in the franchise, and while you may get some mindless enjoyment from killing zombie hordes, the fun is dying, not rising.

The campaign is very short - it offers roughly 6-8 hours of unglamorous gameplay and the worst thing is, that you can not play it with your friends because co-op is now included in separate mode. For the first time, the story has just ONE ending (although there are more endings available for the DLC owners)...

    Poor game. 4/10

    One of the worst zombie game in our world, because 1 2 3 Dead rising games have feature it's time limit, cool blueprints, 10/10 boss fightes,One of the worst zombie game in our world, because 1 2 3 Dead rising games have feature it's time limit, cool blueprints, 10/10 boss fightes, interesting cutscnenes, more than 1 ending, escort missions and a lot of thing to do. DR4 is not Dead Rising, the creators think that it's gonna be looks like DR1, but DR4 and DR1 have in common just a main character. Ugly boss figths, 1 ending, **** cutscenes, instant healpacks, too easy for people who play 1 2 3 DR and no ecsort missions. Full Review »
