Dead Rising 4 Reviews
Dead Rising 4 has everything we love from the series, but bigger and better than ever.
Dead Rising 4 continues the idea of mainstream accessibility that started in Dead Rising 3. While the first two games were about watching the timer and making efficient choices, Dead Rising 4 is about killing zombies in silly costumes with cool weapons. If that's what you want, Dead Rising 4 delivers good, gory zombie fun in a Christmas-themed wrapper. If you're looking for something more like the first game, I'd pick up that re-release. If you liked Dead Rising 3, you'll get a kick out of this.
While it’s far from perfect or revolutionary, Dead Rising 4 does dish up some good times and gory action.
Dead Rising 4 is a great game, it brings an intriguing campaign in a fully realized world filled with places to explore.
The controls might feel a bit dated, but that wont deter you from finding the next weapon or vehicle to craft and field test to your hearts content.
In its attempt to draw in a casual audience, Dead Rising may alienate series veterans. While I love the direction the series is taking, I fully understand the sentiment. For those willing to accept Dead Rising 4 for what it is, they will find an over the top zombie-slaying power fantasy that leaves a few presents under your tree.
The game has a wonderfully insane vibe that grabs players and doesn't let go until the credits roll. If you are looking for a good bit of carnage that is a little on the offbeat side of things then Dead Rising 4 should be on your wishlist
A lukewarm experience takes creativity out of Dead Rising 4 in favor of streamlined game mechanics and story heavy sequences. Bashing zombies is still fun, but only for a couple of minutes.

Dead Rising 4 might look like a by the numbers sequel, but that doesn't mean it's not fun. The technical issues and some annoying mechanics sting a bit, but they shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

Dead Rising 4 misses much of its potential and turns out as a really generic Zombie-Slasher. Besides some funny Weapons you really just get a blank Campaign with simple Boss Fights and the Multiplayer feels like a cheap Workaround for the missing Co-Op Campaign.

It’s a shame that the game doesn’t live up to the series’ potential. Glitches make games harder to play, weak gameplay ruins game. I’d replay Dead Rising 3 twice instead of Dead Rising 4
