5.5 Presentation
The story and dialogue are wretched, and a key feature (the ability to take photographs) has been inexplicably removed.
6.0 Graphics
Obviously, Dead Rising had to take a hit in the transition from 360 to Wii. But this isn't even good looking for the Wii, really.
7.5 Sound
All the mutilation sound effects are great and the elevator music is a nice touch. Can definitely do without the cheesy metal during boss fights, though.
7.0 Gameplay
No matter how you slice it, massacring zombies is a good time. There is a lot to explore and do in the Willamette shopping mall.
6.5 Lasting Appeal
Dead Rising is a short game, clocking in at under ten hours.
6.9
Passable
