Dead Rising 4 Reviews
Dead Rising 4 is the game the previous three Dead Rising titles should have been. With no time limit to speak of, players are given free reign to play how they want, when they want, as often as they want. This is perhaps the most liberating and accessible Dead Rising yet, and the series is all the better for it. Fans of Dead Rising should not miss this latest installment.
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
