Dead Rising 4 Reviews
There's something weirdly cheerful and festive about Frank's misadventures, about crafting homebrew weaponry and putting it to work. It wouldn't be a bad thing if this were the last Dead Rising, but in its own dumb way it's still more fun than it deserves to be.
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.

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
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.
While it’s far from perfect or revolutionary, Dead Rising 4 does dish up some good times and gory action.
Dead Rising 4 has everything we love from the series, but bigger and better than ever.
Dead Rising 4 is an amazing game, it does all things right and gives the player a great feel of the original. It's almost an updated version of Dead Rising, and there's even a good amount of references to the first game as well. There is a lot of killing to do and a lot of damage to deal with the exaggerated combo-items. If you're looking for an action-packed, zombie-slaying, destroy-anything-in-your-path game, then this is the one for you. For once, you can like the main character and laugh at his jokes. So go out there, make your own personalized Frank West and kill some zombies with some odd-like combo weapons! And remember to take a lot of selfies! Because you've covered wars, you know.
Minor gripes, sour grapes and a great deal of holiday zombie japes
Frank West returns to Xbox One with Dead Rising 4, with a strong point: the exploration, all without losing the essence of the saga. The duration is acceptable and the graphical section looks decent but we can not forget that it has the classic bugs of a sandbox game.

Dead Rising 4 is basically Dead Rising 3 with crazier weapons, more zombies to decimate and the grand return of original protagonist Frank West – with gameplay that’s almost unrecognisable to his original tale.
Dead Rising 4 is the worthy heir of its predecessor. The return of Frank West does not change the gameplay introduced three years ago maintaining all the non-sense on which the saga has built its fame. The price, however, is a lowering of the difficulty far beyond an acceptable sense of challenge.

Dead Rising 4 is easily the greatest game of all the franchise. It basically offers the same and addictive concept from the previous games but with many corrections, changes and additions that refreshes the overall experience. It doesn’t matter if you are veteran fan from the series or someone who is just starting with it, the game will make you understand the delight behind killing hordes of zombies.

We wanted to love Dead Rising 4 but it has plenty of little fails all over the game that made us love it less than we were desiring.

Dead Rising 4 provides a very entertaining experience and the gameplay is still simple and solid. Unfortunately the Capcom title has the same “old” side missions and the usual AI issues. Even with its problems, the game is a ton of fun to play.

I'm not sure if straight to video, shallow Christmas film was what the Capcom Vancouver were aiming for here, but it's what we've got.
Dead Rising 4 is undoubtedly a great zombie game, with Capcom Vancouver nailing the open-world and tone once more, but the lack of true psychos in the world does detract from the overall experience. It’s no Dead Rising 3, but it’s still a bloody good game.
While there are some disappointments and archaic clunkiness, Dead Rising 4 is a great time that makes smart improvements over Dead Rising 3. The comedic beats are surprisingly well executed, especially early on in the campaign, and while the conclusion may be hugely disappointing to some, I can’t fault the series its boldness.
Dead Rising's core combat remains simplistic, but the expanded open world, compelling central mystery, and added combo weapons refresh the formula enough for some light, bloody fun.
Dead Rising 4 isn't always smart, but it's rarely boring
