" The price, however, is a lowering of the difficulty far beyond an acceptable sense of challenge. "
" but it's easy to beat, has disappointing psychopaths, some technical issues and less backtracking than others in the franchise. "
" the challenge and tension that made the first few games so unique are dead and buried. "
" but the lack of true psychos in the world does detract from the overall experience "
" Dead Rising 4 is a fun game, the Christmas theme is fantastic and the online multiplayer is pretty fun as well, however being a good game does NOT make this a good Dead Rising game. "
" Dead Rising 4 fails to diversify enough of its gameplay from the previous game, making even a backward step in the variety "
" Dead Rising 4 is a good game which takes most of the previous mechanics but forgets, once again, to implement the time limit we loved in the first episode. Some will be pleased, but the hardcore fans of the series won't. "
" Forget the first chapter, forget the time limits and everything that made the first chapter a real survival horror. This is just an entertaining action game, and a Dead Rising for dummies. "
" Dead Rising 4’s surface schlock quickly became tedious shoddiness, and the result is a disappointingly dull open-world game that simply can’t hold a candle to this year’s best "
...among other statements.
Well, I'm not surprised at all. It might be a good game, but it's a terrible Dead Rising altogether. Good for those who want something else than Dead Rising, I guess. It's such a shame that this series had the unique elements to be their own thing, but they chose the path of derivativeness mediocrity to carry it through, while ditching its identity in the process.
