Dead Rising Triple Pack Reviews
The most appealing part of Dead Rising‘s gameplay is that so many zombies can be on screen at once. Honestly, when Dead Rising first released back in 2007, it really was a game that showed off just how powerful that generation of consoles was going to be.
Dead Rising Triple Pack is a great way for those who have never played these games to dive in and see what all the fuss is about, but it might not be quite enough to warrant those who have already played them to take the double dip. Still, these 3 games are capable of offering dozens upon dozens of hours of zombie-mutilating fun and this package is the definitive way to experience them.
Sure, there’s some choice mechanics that don’t hold up, especially in the first game, but for the price, fans of the series or people looking to try this series out for the first time will get a lot for their money.
Remakes and re-polished games seem to be a trend this last little while but Capcom wisely chose to avoid those terms.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to punch your ticket for a three-day getaway to Fortune City, the Dead Rising Triple Pack might be just the vacation you’ve been waiting for.
Last generations Dead Rising games have been ported to modern consoles in 1080p 60fps with DLC included and no other frills.
For most of its console-based career, the Dead Rising franchise has been a quirky experiment that mixes traditional zombie hijinks with meticulous, often frustrating gameplay mechanics.
The 'Dead Rising Triple Pack' is a trip through memory lane that is helped tremendously by the games still being a blast to play. While the package falls short as both an update (none of the games have been mechanically improved in any significant way) and a historical package (the standalone expansions 'Case Zero' and 'Case West' are missing), it's still enjoyable getting to see how the series has evolved over time. It's a great appetizer before 'Dead Rising 4' releases later this year, and a reminder why Frank West is a great character.
Playing this trio of Dead Rising games again reminded me of their real attraction: you can play them however you want without feeling like you’re doing it wrong
Enhancements have been kept to a minimum, but the games in this collection still shine with their unique locations, combat system and brand of comedy, even if some design decisions, such as manual saving, have divided its audience. The first game is still a classic, but the sequel, in both its versions, is the one to get. Dead Rising 2 Off the Record is the most content packed one, and thus the recommended choice.

The Dead Rising Triple Pack doesn't really do anything to improve the series, but these three games are worth it regardless.
To celebrate its 10 year anniversary since the release of the first game, Capcom has released all three last gen Dead Rising games as a bundled collection. However, despite being somewhat a mixed bag of tricks, this collection is a fantastic way to get reacquainted with the series.
If you haven't played the original Dead Rising games this is your best chance to do it. But this remaster doesn't do nothing new that makes it deserve the attention of experienced Dead Rising players.

Clocking in at the cost of a full modern game, Dead Rising Triple Pack is still a fantastic value. Yes, each of the games have their own unique quirks, but that “je ne sais quoi,” is what helped endear the series to millions of fans, worldwide. The sheer volume of quality content being provided makes it an extremely generous offering, especially for those that don’t have these titles already in their collection. Finally, Capcom was able to put their brain-dead re-release strategy to good use!
Dead Rising Triple Pack collection stands the test of time with its performance and holds up incredibly well. Unfortunately, there are only so many ways to kill a zombie and zombie fatigue sets in sooner than expected.
Dead Rising Triple Pack offers the long time fans an opportunity to get back in the series. While there is not much of upgrade in term of visuals, the frame rate is dramatically improved, which results in a smoother experience overall.
Dead Rising HD Collection is a great experience for those wanting to get into the series before Dead Rising 4, unfortunately the Collection offers little more for fans of the series.
If you haven't played any of the Dead Rising games before this is absolutely a great collection to pick up as you get three great games that provide hours of fun. If you have played these games before then you might not find any need to return to them as these are the exact same games that were released years ago except with updated visuals.
It may show its age in places, but the core of the original Dead Rising has not become rotten in the past decade. A shame then the same cannot quite be said of its successors.
The Dead Rising Triple Pack is a faithful adaptation of three classic games in Capcom’s Zombie survival series. The upgrade to 1080p and 60 frames per second will be welcome to folks who want to play using more modern console standards. The lack of new upgrades to the gameplay as well as the Case Zero and Case West DLC, however, is a bummer that makes the collection feel less complete. Still, if you loved the originals or missed out on them entirely, then this is another chance to play the games or see what the initial series is all about.
