    Capcom doesn't support Xbox Play Anywhere, you cannot play the Campaign with Friends anymore and it now has another Multiplayer Mode, the Campaign can be finished in around 7 hours which makes it the shortest Dead Rising Game of all, it only includes one Ending now and other Endings will be provided via Season Pass DLC's, etc. etc.

    The worst game of the series so far. 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, 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, ****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.

    Enjoy the most broken game of all times. If you manage to play this so get ready to get killed only by touching your enemies. I wish to those devs the most refunds on this game as possible.

    First of all, avoid the Windows store at all costs. You can't fullscreen games with it, nor can you use sli/crossfire from what I read. Naturally Window's Store games tend to run like ass, and this is no exception. My fps tanks in this game, while in dead rising 3 i got no less than 100 fps all of the time (It looked much better as well)

    From what I played before I refunded, it actually

    From what I played before I refunded, it actually seemed like it was going to be a really good game. More of what made 3 great. Hardcore fans of 1 and 2 might not enjoy the simplistic over the top style, but I really did.

    And if you are wondering why the reviews on the Windows Store aren't lower; They don't allow you to post a review after refunding, since you no longer own the product.

    I'll change my review once it releases on Steam and I get the chance to fully evaluate the product, until then the abomination that is the Windows Store severely hampers the experience.

    Oh, and you can refund the game if you talk to Microsoft support, I will say that they were very polite and quick to refund my purchase.

    The game itself is fun for me. But the real problem is the bug , crash and all the technical issue.
    I played the game till around 2hr then the crash came every 5min. I couldn't find any good fix ( My computer is good enough to play all any AAA game in highest setting ). And there're people like me everywhere so I stop playing there. I don't know whether there will be a good fix soon

    Bad game. You should stick with DR1, DR2 and DR3. Dead Rising 4 fails as a Dead Rising game and fails as a game overall. Stay away from this terrible package.

    A historia me pareceu chata e forçada; O protagonista mesmo é bem chato e suas piadas em suma maioria são sem graça; Os graficos pareciam de ps3, mesmo rodando no ultra; O desing do jogo me pareceu mal feito (menu, textos, etc), e a gameplay não me agradou muito. Os zumbies continuam em alto numero, mas não surpreendem em mais nada.

    Tá dificil achar algo pra elogiar nesse game.

    Not a bad game, As long as Frank West doesn't talk. Mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sounds like a ♥♥♥♥♥. Just pull the ♥♥♥♥ out and bring back the Manly Man Frank West. DR2-1 Frank

    There is a story here and it is interesting… you can get the sense that Frank has a heart despite his bravado… but the fun is in the over the top ludicrousness of the whole experience. Grab your favourite Capcom branded outfit… suit up and get ready to shed some Zombie flesh. This serves as a much need giggle in the midst of so many dire Zombie themed games and is worth it just for the flexibility of how you play… well worth adding to your collection if you like your action with a bit of a smirk.

    It might have more options to adjust the visuals. But it still plays in the second league of open world games while the zombie outbreak lost its bite and Frank West lost his cynical touch, which was replaced by one-liners that would be too corny even for Evil Dead’s Ash Williams.
