    There is a story here and it is interesting… you can get the sense that Frank has a heart despite his bravado… but the fun is in the over the top ludicrousness of the whole experience. Grab your favourite Capcom branded outfit… suit up and get ready to shed some Zombie flesh. This serves as a much need giggle in the midst of so many dire Zombie themed games and is worth it just for the flexibility of how you play… well worth adding to your collection if you like your action with a bit of a smirk.

    Extremely funny with plenty of zombie blood splatter that doesn't take itself seriously at any moment.

    Dead Rising 4 has the best core gameplay the series has ever seen. Its inventive and humorous ways to put down the dead are something I still haven’t tired of, and its surprisingly interesting plot is more than just a zombie-killing delivery system. Despite the technical blemishes that come with the series, its lack of co-op story mode play, and the fun-yet-unreliable multiplayer, Frank West’s return brings the series some fresh ideas, a ton of bloody mayhem, and a whole lot of cracking wise. Here’s hoping he sticks around for a while.

    Despite a few new ideas, which don't always work as expected, Dead Rising 4 does not show huge improvements to the original formula: It's a fun game with a bunch of problems and nothing more.

    Though much too easy, Dead Rising 4 is sandboxy zombie-killing adventure that recaptures the series' fun.

    Simply put, Dead Rising 4 is going to upset the serious hardcore fans of the series who have enjoyed its quirky mechanics over the years. Signs began with Dead Rising 3 that Capcom was moving in an direction to simplify the game to allow more accessibility to the mainstream. Dead Rising 4 will not do anything for those people, but for anyone who did enjoy the previous title or would like a game that’s about dressing up in dumb clothes and killing zombies in stupid ways with bizarre weapons, while celebrating the wonderful festivities of massacre over a Christmas theme, then this title is for you. It makes an improvement over the third entry, offering a few hours of silly fun for a series that still manages to bring a unique experience like no other when it comes to dishing out the zombie violence.

    Dead Rising 4 has a bit of an identity crisis. It neither commits to the open-world aspect enough to be considered exemplary in the genre, nor does it deliver enough of the mainstays of the series to satisfy longtime fans. Unfortunately, Dead Rising 4 marks the low point in the franchise, and while you may get some mindless enjoyment from killing zombie hordes, the fun is dying, not rising.

It's sold on the Windows Store for the first year, B.) Their computer can't run it, or C.) It's not in **** VR or it doesn't make them fly in real life like they hoped the 4th install would do by now or some unrealistic **** like that.

    The GAME, which is what we're supposed to be reviewing here, is great. It's everything you love about Dead Rising, but smoother, and more of it. I've played since the first Dead Rising, and I love them. Especially part 2. They're just... fun. Zombie killing fun. This one is great, as well. It's also one of the better ones. It's worth the purchase, IMO.    … Expand

    This is my first Dead Rising. It used be another Xbox exclusive that I always wanted to play. I remember the first review I read (in aThis is my first Dead Rising. It used be another Xbox exclusive that I always wanted to play. I remember the first review I read (in a magazine in those times) and it sounded so freacking cool. And now, 14 years later i could finally play a Dead Rising game, I've been reading bad things about this one, but as it is my first one I just simply love it. Even tho this one is already 4 years old, it doesnt feel aged at all (maybe graphic wise, but, hey, who cares?) There are so many zombies, so many weapons, so many costumes and outfits, loads of cars and side quests and colectables, and "factions". Damn, is it fun. It's fun as hell no zombie pun intended.
    This game taught me that in a zombie apocalypse literally anything can and SHOULD be used as a weapon. I mean ANYTHING, from the most common ones such as knives and baseball bats and shovels, all the way to this keyboard I'm using, or a framed painting, or my 5 bucks tripod, or a wet floor sign. And I should also combine stuff, like put broken bottles on the legs of the tripod to have a weird trident weapon. The story didnt ge me all that much, it sounded to me just as a holiday afternoom movie, like this is for you to have fun, not to overthink anything. But maybe this feeling is based on the fact that I dont know any character yet. But still i liked it. Frank West is totally THAT uncle (Tiozão do pavê), but in a good way.
    Oh, and the version I downloaded it already had all DLCs, and minigames and everything else, wich makes it even better. The Capcom Heroes mode brings even more diversity and fun to the game, this is the very first game i played in years, that I'm seriously thinking about playing again in Capcom mode, right now, hours after finising the standard story mode for the first time.
    I'm sorry to see everyone **** over the game, I know how bad it is to see your favorite franchise releasing a "less good game" each new one. But for a new comer it's awesome.
    I'm even thinking about going after the old ones too.    … Expand
