IGN: Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop Review 6.9

[averyblund]

^^^ I accept that people have different taste, people like different genres for instance. But a poorly made game is just that. The reason the game is still OK is because the subject matter is decent to begin with. But the game itself reeks of lack of effort. I mean some of the textures would put a Dreamcast to game to shame, the number of zombies is far less than promised and shown. These are not a matter of taste, they are lazy programming. I know the Wii can do more than this.

You seem to be trying to put words in my mouth, I never expected this game to suck- I expected it to be about what it is, a lazy port of a really cool game. I wouldn't have bought it if I though it was gonna be total trash.

People like to complain and blow things out of proportion, that is where all the whining came from. Its not that people thought the game would be terrible, but that they were angry that Capcom would not put in the effort to make it great, which they surely could have. They could have made it a unique game, that better addressed the Wii's shortcomings, but instead choose to take a $20 game, rip out a ton of the content, not enhance it in any way and sell it for $40. I understand the anger. Things like pulling out the camera and not really adding an Wii exclusive stuff just hit the point home.
