    Even zombies can't save it from being judged against its much better ancestor, and that's one fight it will never win.

    As for the controls, even ignoring how your character runs like he's trying really hard to hold in a fart at all times, the movement is slow and he turns like a tank in the original Resident Evil.

    If you’ve never seen the 360 version, CTYD might entertain you for a little while, but that’ll only be because you won’t know what you’re missing out on by playing the stripped down version of the original game. And developers/publishers, please stop looking at the Wii as nothing more than a port machine. If you’re going to rerelease a game, make sure it’s been significantly retooled, reworked, redesigned, and upgraded enough to justify the game’s existence.

    An absolute rotting putrid corpse of a videogame.

It's for the most part the same game, but with features both added and removed. The most notable is the fact that there are a lot less zombies on screen than in the 360 version, but they make up for this with new kinds of zombies, like animal zombies and what I like to call super zombies that are designed after a few psychopath boss battles that were removed from this port. There are still psychopath boss battles, just less than the 360 version. Another new feature is the fact that this port doesn't focus on melee weapons like the 360 port, but rather on guns. If you've played the 360 version you remember how awful aiming was in that version, but aiming is easy to do by just pointing the Wii remote at the screen. And do to this change the game is a lot easier and more forgiving than it's 360 predecessor. Another big change that makes the game more forgiving is that it's actually possible to save those moronic survivors this go around. But by far the thing that affects the game the most is that the timing system that was on every mission and frustrated loads of gamers, and even made some give up on the game has been completely removed making the game feel less stressful this go around. I recommend Chop Till You Drop to gamers who found the 360 version to difficult or stressful do to the time limits and gave up on it yet still want to know how it ends, Wii owners who wanted to play it but didn't have a 360, or gamers who just want to see how the game works and is different on the Wii. Sure its got some issues, but so did the 360's version and no matter which system you play it on it's fantastic either way.… Full Review »

    The Wii version of "Dead Rising" is a simplified remix. For instance, you no longer use Frank's camera and firearms are more prominent.
