Frank Rising explores what happens to Frank after an all-new outbreak in Willamette. Frank is infected and wanders the city beaten, bloody and driven only by a need to feast. When a former ally discovers him, he is written off as incurable. Luckily, he’ll find help from an unlikely resource. As Frank begins to recover he’ll need to race to find a permanent cure while developing all-new abilities and strength. Unfortunately, he can no longer eat food to stay alive and must feast on others to survive. As he is trying to save himself, Frank learns that several survivors he cares about are trapped in the city with him and he must rescue them – and himself – before the government closes his case file for good and wipes the city off the map.

    Frank Rising brings us the true Dead Rising 4 ending and despite being really short, the new mechanics, replayability and low price make it essential.

    Frank Rising offers a new dynamic to the classic Dead Rising gameplay but it also ends up feeling too limited to be thoroughly enjoyable. Either way, it's great to see the story wrap up in such a crazy way so it may be worth downloading for that alone.

    Frank Rising provides a much-needed conclusion to Dead Rising 4, but it’s also a completely unacceptable cash grab.

    Frank Rising strips away all of Dead Rising 4’s best assets – most notably its weaponry and light-hearted humor – in favour of an unforgivably short piece of DLC that butchers the narrative of the main campaign for cheap thrills. If you’re a Dead Rising fan, best to sit this one out.

    A dull, cynical, money-grabbing mess, Frank Rising deserves to be buried six feet under.

While I definitely enjoyed the dlc and really didn't miss the lack of weaponry (cuz the progression system kept me on my toes) I get why people are pissed off about having to buy this to see what happened to Frank (personally I didn't pay for it). But overall I'd say I had a pretty fun time going over the 2 hour gameplay twice. It adds difficulty and time limit... Just the thing everyone was complaining that was missing from the original game so I don't get all the flac it's been getting. Expand
