Let's be honest. The selling point of Dead Rising on 360 was it's graphics. Some people like the game and storyline, but I wasn't impressed to say the least. Now they're going to downgrade the graphics for the Wii? They claim the controls will make up the difference, but will they? Everytime I've played the Wii....the controllers just pissed me off. Bad Graphics + bad controls = a waste of time and money I still think Nintendo should have made a next gen system that rivals the 360 and ps3. Instead, they made people move around too much...

i think theyve just taken a mediocre game and downgraded it to something worse because, as reisent evil 2 and 3 has shown us, capcom is the biggest whore this side of E.A

lol @ moving I didn't care for the story of Dead Rising, in fact I downloaded all the cut scenes to see the story that way. Wasn't fussed about it at all, all that native American terrorism stuff and then all that army type stuff, meh. The graphics were ONE of the selling points, but I think the main one was "IT'S A MALL FULL OF ZOMBIES!" - it even says it on the back of the cover. Basically, you get to run around a mall, pick up damn near anything, and inflict endless violence upon your undead foes. I didn't even bother with the story in fact, although last time I played it through I did a couple of early cases, but that was that, I missed some time window, couldn't be arsed with all that limited time sh*te for the story, as well as the absolutely awful gun aiming in the game, goddamn that was rubbish - clearly the focus of the combat is hitting zombies with stuff, or running them over with things, or poking them ... ... I heard that titter in the back row Mr. Smith, you're going on report.

The concept is simply amazing and is worth buying the game for that, but in reality it's not entirely playable due to it's time constricted sillyness - the thing is...I wanna explore that mall, run around endlessly killing Zeds, not running somewhere to do something, getting a call which I have to answer only to discover a soon-to-be-ending mission back where I started. UGH.

Hopefully there'll be more gameplay variety on offer like on rails vehucle action, sniper escorts and a more gruesome take on Wii Sports. The controls could use a bit more work, most hands on reports say to swing weapons like the baseball bat, katana blade and other similar objects you tap the A button. How lame is that? it's a MOTION controller, in the game I mentioned you would make motions with objects like you would in life, like swing the remote like a bat, swing it like a gold club, bowling ball etc but cheap as chips Capcom have opted for easy street with the Wii edition.   Don't think anyone raved about the story, it's complete crap, the ending was a massive let down, the whole tank arena thing was a joke, I'd love it if they had something new at the end of this game like Frank and Isabella racing through town on a motorbike avoiding the SF choppers, jeeps and soldiers and then show it being levelled.

Don't spoil the ending of DR for me please, I've not completed it yet.

The game plays much better if you completely ignore the story and just run around killing zeds and taking pictures, and saving the odd person you can be arsed with. Then you get back on a chopper with some saved people, some neat snaps, and you get out alive, that's a MUCH better ending than the ACTUAL ending(s)...I reckon anyway. Hellsing - WTF was that video all about?

I still think Nintendo should have made a next gen system that rivals the 360 and ps3. Instead, they made people move around too much... That's what i've always said. A hardcore gamer,especially when they've been anticipating a game's release, is going to play at 4-6 hours a clip, minimum. Who the hell wants to be waving a controller around for that long?
