The problem is that zombies aren't that threatening in the Dead Rising games. If you can take your time, pick your spots, take the long route, and save whenever you want, then the zombies aren't intimidating in the least.
Zombies become scary when you need to get to a certain point by a certain time, and the quickest route is blocked by a swarm of zombies, and your last save was 20 minutes ago.
Dead Rising was a survival horror/beat em up combo. This is just a beat em up.
