madworld is much much longer if you get all the achievements. i reckon itll take me about 16 hours and then theres hard mode and multiplayer to go through

^ these games are all great!

don't buy Dead Rising... Madworld seems much better

Definitely MadWorld. Dead Rising lacks any kind of hook on the Wii, but MadWorld is one of the most original games you'll ever play.

I own both. Have completed both, and strongly recommend MadWorld. Dead Rising is not as bad as some haters will have you think, but it isn't a good game either. I think it defines the term mediocre. Not bad, not good. If you can only afford one, go MadWorld.

Madworld without second thought

I would suggest Madworld. Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is kinda like a sample of the true Dead Rising on the Xbox 360. Think of it like a demo. Madworld on the other hand is an actual game. Reviewers point to the game being a tad short but overall the game is worth admission and your time, so check it out!

Having fewer zombies is not the same as only having a few levels (or missions in this case). And it has content not even in the 360 version, so that analogy is false on two levels.

@LordTheNightKnight

I look at the Wii version as a simple port. It might have features the 360 version doesn't have, but to be honest its more so like an expansion than anything. Does that sound more appropriate?

MadWorld, I loved it... in fact check out my review ;)

Well that's certainly not a demo. Some features are removed, but you still get a complete game.

The game was designed as a remix of the original, so expansion was kind of what Capcom was going for.
