    Clearly, Dead Rising 4 is rebooting the series. It’s an entertaining beat’em up, albeit one where I haven’t had a chance to play online ahead of launch. I still think it’s a great way to spend the holidays, but people who appreciated the earlier games may want to watch some gameplay videos or try a demo first.

    Saga fans and newbies will both enjoy Dead Rising 4. The first will enjoy it because there are zombies and a thousand ways to finish’em. The newbies because it is not a Dead Rising at all. Capcom Vancouver has left behind the elements that made great the original Dead Rising, but presents a more classical (and western) system, which will hook those players looking only for a good time in front of their consoles.

    Dead Rising 4 is a lot of fun, but the challenge and tension that made the first few games so unique are dead and buried.

    On many levels Dead Rising 4 is a disappointment, content to riff on the slapstick violence and revive past glories but showing no real desire to do anything new. There's precious little depth and the combat is shallow, while some sections seem designed to show up Frank's inability to cope with tooled-up human foes. Yet there's something weirdly cheerful and festive about Frank's misadventures, about crafting homebrew weaponry and putting it to work.

    Dead Rising 4 is a good game which takes most of the previous mechanics but forgets, once again, to implement the time limit we loved in the first episode. Some will be pleased, but the hardcore fans of the series won't.

    An unfunny and unfun mess of a game, Dead Rising 4 is a shambling corpse of a once-great franchise. Capcom would be wise to put it out of its misery.

    It's a pretty decent game with some characters, who make a good campaign and story with multiplayer, with a crazy and funky weapons catalog.It's a pretty decent game with some characters, who make a good campaign and story with multiplayer, with a crazy and funky weapons catalog. Not to mention the graphics and 60 fps, a cooperative mode for 4 players that make it fun! But ... hopefully capcom does not **** with the DLC's. Overall: The best video game in the saga!

I've played the first Dead Rising, and wasn't a huge fan, really. Killing zombies was fun, but I've always disliked things with timers. I didn't play DR 2 or 3, and because I can't compare DR4 to either of those. It may be because of this that I'm enjoying DR4 so much. As other's say, it's not terribly difficult, but I'm still enjoying the large map, abundance of enemies to kill, and fun weapons to wield. Progression feels good with leveling happening at a satisfying and rewarding rate. Frank West's dialogue is well done, and the humor adds to the experience.

    Many of the negative reviews I've seen have come from people that have played the earlier installments and were expecting more of the same. I seem to be part of the new demographic that they're targeting, and I guess I'm happy for that.    … Expand

The psychopaths were replaced by the harmless trashy maniacs. The survivors are are a chore and not worth your time. Frank west is not frank west anymore he's just lost any appeal that the old frank west had. The ending is horrendous i wont ruin it. This game is nothing special and it only deserves a 2.… Expand
