    The game lags whenever you fight an enemy. It is terrible when your framerate drops from 60fps to 20fps and back! Furthermore, the developers haven't tried to fix that.

    Also, I want to mention how **** the aiming system is. It is the worst aiming system ever made and... It was not fixed since the original! You don't aim in the direction where your camera is, instead you aim in the direction where your character looks. Yes, it is two different directions.
    Oh, how I hate the saving system. You have to find a special place where you can save your progress... It doesn't sound bad but it is because of the bad aiming system, lags, and other "amazing" features. Save player progress before a boss battle? Eh, no. For example, the first boss which has P90 and... Yes, you have a gun too, but because of the aim system, the best tactic is close combat. Yes, you can die easily. No, you cannot restart from the start of the battle, instead, you have to go from the security room back to the place where the boss battle starts.
    In GTA SA for mobile devices, the checkpoint system was added. What is wrong with Dead Rising? Only some graphics improvements and that's it?    … Expand

    Dead Rising was never a great game — it’s perverse and didactic in equal measure, and an exciting concept delivered with almost no artistry or craft. Why not put in a little extra effort to fix it, rather that just running it on superior hardware? The sequels offer a clear roadmap for the experience that Dead Rising could have been, but apparently Capcom had no interest in following it. It’s too bad, because even as a budget title, this reissue is just too rough to recommend.

    Combined with beat ‘em up gameplay and hundreds of different items to use against the hordes, the series’ best psycopath bosses and mall setting and a ton of endings and secrets, Dead Rising still holds up today for both newcomers to the franchise and returning fans like me indulging in some gory nostalgia.

    The original Dead Rising is a fantastic start for this zombie beat'em sandbox series and this new release is now the ultimate version and a good reason to pick it up.
