Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package Reviews
Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package attempts to tackle some of the issues faced by the original release, but by and large, it is ultimately the same experience that is still enjoyable, but doesn't come closer to the height of the series.
Dead Rising 4: Franks Big Package offers a lot of fun and content in one generous bundle
Capcom Heroes takes Dead Rising from survival/horror to being an awesomely over-the-top Arcade Brawler.
Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package still comes with all the flaws and warts it had during its original release, but if you can look past that, and deal with some laggy multiplayer connection problems, there's still a fun and varied story experience waiting for you here.
In the end, Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is a solid experience for PlayStation gamers.
Dead Rising 4 is a good game, but a poor Dead Rising game. Fans will likely bemoan many of the changes, but underneath that, there's a very good, very meaty game, albeit one that's far more generic than previous entries in the series.
With Dead Rising 4, you may not feel either fear, happiness, or excitement. It’s just another very good 3rd person action adventure game that’ll keep you busy with tons of zombie-killing fun and different types of jokes. Be warned though, playing it consecutively for too long may spoil the fun. Keep it slow and steady.

Overall, Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package tends to cater more to casual fans of the zombie genre. As someone who loves the franchise, I cannot say that this game is neither good nor bad. There is plenty of replayability in Frank's Big Package, there is no denying that and while this game is inferior to the original regarding overall quality, the addition of Capcom Heroes as well as refining all the gameplay and combat issues I had with previous installments still made it enjoyable. Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is a game worth playing if you're a fan of the series solely because of the new features, however, regarding the single-player story. it felt more like a one and done for me.
Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package checks out as a complete release of the DR4, offering a plethora of content. Sadly, the game itself is based on a simplified gameplay unable to satisfy anyone.

At times it feels like a reanimated corpse itself, but as mindless and predictable as it may be Dead Rising 4 can still offer hours of inoffensively dumb entertainment.
Overall, Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is perhaps the perfect Christmas game; stuffed to the gills with content that swiftly loses its novelty, with the overall effect being a kind of overfed sleepiness. In this case, less could have been more.
Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package is the definitive edition for fans who want to experience the fourth mainline entry in the game. Although the addition of extras like “Capcom Heroes” is nice, the aging combat is starting to feel as fresh a zombie. The removal of the timer might disappoint purists, though it makes the game more accessible to newcomers. It feels like a series at a crossroads, for sure.
Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is a package that will not disappoint you.

This is definitely a Dead Rising game, but it certainly isn't the Dead Rising it once was. This is the greying, shuffling husk of a lovably naff series, turned horrifically bland.
Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is an exceptional port of the original package, with additional content that fans will have a blast with. But that doesn't mean it isn't still the worst entry in the series by quite a wide margin.
When it comes to Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package, the same question comes up over and over again: Who is this for? Here's a title that not only fails to win over fans of Dead Rising, but it also fails to win over fans of videogames. Slaying hundreds of thousands of zombies is not compelling entertainment, especially when the combat mechanics are so unsatisfying. The entire adventure just feels tired and cynical, sapping players of the necessary energy to carry on with their day. This critic racked up well over 25 hours of play and didn't laugh, not even once. What else needs to be said? Maybe this game is for people who no longer wish to experience joy.
The same shit happens to the same guy twice. At Christmas. It's decent, but not a patch on the original. Sound familiar?
