The content cuts are disappointing and censorship is inexcusable, yet the core of Dead Rising is still appealing. This is fine if you’re a child who is getting used to gaming. The overhauled visuals and low bar to entry make it easy for kids and grandma to get into. There is not a lot for fans of the original. Unfortunately, the non-deluxe classic Dead Rising is still the definitive experience.

Frank West is back with his camera. The reporter playing the liberator once again draws attention to himself. The game tempts with the number of corpses to finish. However, it scares with the monotony of the gameplay.

If you enjoy blowing up zombies en masse then the Dead Rising franchise is made for you, and the Deluxe Remaster edition is just much, much better looking. It may not be for everybody, but it's a must-buy for its target audience.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is easily the most accessible and enjoyable version of the game to date. It retains the same basic feel but adds an extra layer of polish to everything. The game's still as wacky and enjoyable as it ever was, but with less frustration and annoyance. There are a couple of areas that perhaps went a bit too far, but by and large, the development team has just created a more fun version of the original. If you're a fan of Dead Rising or want to smash some zombies, Capcom's other zombie franchise has you covered.

A very well executed remaster, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster doesn't completely change the vanilla experience, but it improves enough to give fans the best version of Frank's debut outing.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the triumphant return of one of the best zombie games of all time. While the survivor missions and psychopath battles could have been improved, this is, without a doubt, the best version of Capcom's classic thanks to its updated graphics and gameplay enhancements. A must for new players and veteran fans alike.

Without a doubt, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is a fun and enjoyable game that delivers a unique story with lovely characters. Despite its strengths, some problems such as poor AI and low variety of side activities prevent this game from reaching its potential.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is a valuable game—a work that reflects Capcom’s eagerness to revive one of its classic series. With graphical improvements that resemble a thorough remake rather than just a remaster and the reintroduction of the fluid gameplay we expect from the Dead Rising series, this work transforms into a worthwhile “remaster.”

Dead Rising shows that it still has style after all these years. Especially the hordes of zombies and killing them is timeless and still fits today. Some of the graphical improvements are nice, but other things aren't as polished, and it's a shame that the gameplay hasn't been touched up and some outdated elements tweaked.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is, for all intents and purposes, the same consistent and fun game as always, with several great quality-of-life improvements and eye-catching, revamped visuals. Even reheated, it remains a recommended classic for old and new fans of good old zombie carnage.

An ok remaster of a trailblazing classic. Still a gem of a game, only one that lost some of its luster and hasn't been polished enough.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is something I can recommend for those who haven't yet played the original and for those who really loved it and want to experience it again with the RE Engine. There's no question that it's fun but with its most notable feature being the updated visuals it really is just the old game with a fresh coat of paint.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the sort of game that becomes better the more you play it so if this is your first time playing it or you haven't played it for years, bring plenty of patience with you and you'll end up having a phenomenal trip to the mall. 🧟

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster revives the classic zombie survival game with updated graphics and gameplay. As photojournalist Frank West, trapped in a mall during a zombie outbreak, you have 72 hours to complete missions or rescue survivors. With improved controls and a cleaner interface, this remaster respects the original while making it more enjoyable for both new and returning players.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has reminded me of all the things I loved about the original...while prettying up some of its scuffed edges.

You can feel the 20 years of progress that gaming has made in every fiber of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, but most of the time, you won't care one bit. As far as pure zombie-killing-mayhem is concerned, Capcom's delirious gorefest is still a blast.

Despite its drawbacks, I will say I still had hours of fun in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. There’s something to be said about learning how a game functions and overcoming its faults, but if the flaws are insurmountable, it’s a detriment to the entire experience. Fans of the original should do their research before shelling out $50 USD for the remaster.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster feels more like a Remake than a Remaster, with a hefty visual upgrade and some quality-of-life improvements to refine the original experience. This title will be the perfect entry point into the Dead Rising series for any fan of the zombie-slaying action-adventure genre.

A remaster that borders on being a remake and a game that has changed very little mark the return of Dead Rising to the spotlight.
