Dead Rising (Wii)
Based on the critically acclaimed ‘Dead Rising’ for the Xbox 360, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance journalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to the small suburban town of Willamette only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. Frank escapes to the local shopping mall where he thinks he will find safety only to discover its crawling with the un-dead!

Review by Big W for The Bigs 2 (Wii)

As the heading suggests, I really do like playing this game and think it is worth every penny. It was a little tricky when I first played it, but having played it a few times and got used to the controls (I found the fielding controls took a while to get used to) it really is good fun.
I would recommend starting on the `easy’ level until you get used to playing the game and move upwards from there.
The batting, as you would expect, is all about timing – and whether you swing the Wii remote high or low/fast or slow really does make a difference.
The pitching is also mainly about timing as well – timing your swing with the on screen power bar. I know there is some criticism that swinging the Wii remove faster does not increase the speed of the pitch, but in reality if it did your arm would fall off after 9 innings of hard pitching! Instead, pitching is more about placement and pitch selection to each batter.
The fielding is mainly computer operated, though you do have some element of control, such as using the Wii remote to make the outfielder jump at the wall to grab a ball that would otherwise be a homer.
Using the direction buttons to control where the fielder’s throw goes, running between bases and stealing bases takes a bit of getting used to but is not impossible.
A thoroughly good game – I enjoy it anyway.

When i first started playing this i was a bit dispirited when i lost about 21-0 to the yankees. HOWEVER, as soon as you knuckle down and get the pitching and batting up to scratch the games become more competitive and are great fun. Theres nothing i like more than seeing derek jeter strike out and being made to look like a baffoon at the plate. All the rosters, all the beautiful stadiums, play day or night, choose how many innings. Its got the lot. The d pad on the wii remote is also perfect for throwing between bases. I dont normally enjoy sports sims that much , but i love this game.

I’ve seen a lot of reviews comparing the Wii version to the Xbox version but very little reviews that look at the Wii version in its own right just for what it is.
If you compare the two there are lots of major differences, in fact the only thing that remains the same is that you are stranded in a shoping centre with hundreds of zombies.
Lets get to the point, the Wii version is great fun:
Graphics – 8
The graphics are great for a Wii game, so if you only have a Wii you won’t be disapointed.
Sound – 8
The sound is great, I only have one complaint, sometimes the Zombie sounds are quite loud but there are no Zombies for a good 10 meters, I wish they would have adjusted the volumes better for distance as you end up thinking there is a Zombie just behind you.
Gameplay – 9.5
This is great fun, nothing beats shooting loads of Zombies, I’m halfway through and have already killed 5000 Zombies and thats not really trying just focusing on the missions.
Just for the record some people have slagged this of because of the parots and dogs, there are not that many of them. For example once you have progressed a little in the main shopping centre you barely see them any more. And outside you see maybe one or two of each verses a lot of zombies.
Anyway if you’ve got a Wii I would easily recommend this game.

When I first considered buying this game I was dubious about it, overall it looked a good game, but the other user reviews did not paint a very good picture. However I decided to go ahead and am glad I did. Overall it is a fun and amusing game to play, the only downside is the repetivness of it at times and the way the character walks on screen….really annoying….. Mind you if you can see past this it is entertaining to play and well worth the risk.

This game deserves so much more credit than it gets. Sure, there are problems, it can get annoying and a much better effort could have been made. But besides that, this is a fantastic game. If your looking for a long lasting experience that is a hell of a lot of fun then this is your game.
Graphics 3/5: Quite bland. The wii is capable of much more than this. Some effects and textures look so incredibly out of place, the zombies look quite bad up close and the main characters seem to have the same effects on them wherever they are. (Sunshine on them, blood, dirt etc.) They’re passable but i expected better.
Audio 4/5: Some of the music is really good and its typical of what you’d expect from a zombie game. The music is atmospheric and tense, and contrasts perfectly with the happy go lucky elevator music in the non-zombie areas. the sound effects are good but sometimes seem out of place and coming from completly the wrong direction, and some effects such as the cliff zombie scratching his blades together are far too loud and direct. But overall quite good.
Gameplay 5/5: Nothing beats chopping up zombies in a lawnmower while running around in a mega man outfit. Yes you’ve killed zombies before. But you havent killed zombies like dead rising yet. Whilst there isn’t as huge a choice of weapons in the wii version as supposed to 360, this is compensated for by the huge selection of guns. For those of you who played resi 4, the weapons are completly identical to the ones on that. Pretty much anything can be picked up and used. Vases, bikes, skateboards, cardboard boxes, lead pipes, katanas, chainsaws, shopping carts and much more can be used to mow down hordes of the undead. The gamplay recieves its five stars because killing zombies with weapons like these is so fun and can keep you going for hours on end. A fantastic experience and extremely fun.
Lasting appeal 4/5: The initial game lasts about 10 hours to complete without diverting from the storyline. Subsequent playthroughs last about 6-7 hours. Theres a hell of a lot to unlock including weapons and costumes. Its addictive coming back to unlock it all i must say. Theres also a host of mini games unlocked after completing the game which you can do and unlock more stuff for the campaign. So for quick bouts of zombie killing fun theyre pretty good.
Overall a good quality game you should buy simply for the amazing gameplay. Zombie killing goodness for wii!
Review by T. A. Scott for Dead Rising (Wii)

Thought people with an Xbox 360 could have all the zombie action fun with Dead Rising? Well not any more because it has finally been ported to the Wii! Since playing most of Dead Rising on the Xbox I wondered how such a big game could be fitted on to something like the Wii, yes, they’ll have to down grade a little and the control system could backfire, but would it turn out to be a hit? Well, it isn’t as bad as some people make out actually.
When I first started playing the game I knew that the graphics would be downgraded; it is the Wii after all. But it was quite impressive. Game play-wise it’s extremely fun to be chopping at zombies left right and centre, I just couldn’t stop. Use of the Wii remote was fun to use especially when riding bicycles through the hordes (or groups) of the undead or hitting them through the air with the bat. The screen text and mission outlay is far better than the Xbox version you can see all the words clearly and the timer doesn’t get in the way so you have more freedom to blast, chop, maim and save the day. As for the people who complain about the voice acting being the worst they ever heard I say rubbish (go look on YouTube at Resident Evil Voice Acting Horror 10 mins, and then you’ll see the worst)! It’s not that bad but it still made me laugh from time to time at serious moments… almost like a Nicolas Cage film.
That said it’s not without its down points.
My gripe with the graphics is that it seems they could have pushed the limits a little more (I’m sure the Wii’s graphics are better than that if tested). The sound mix is a little tacky, as some of you have pointed out, distant zombies are a little bit loud at times when they shouldn’t be. Though the game play is fun, Capcom have made the mistake of trying to centre Chop Till You Drop largely on the use of the gun control. While it’s fun to be shooting zombies heads off it was even more fun (for the 360 players) to be picking everything in sight up and just going nuts with it. Here, you can still do that, but the mêlée actions seem a little stiff and less fluid, like swinging the guitars around 360 degrees or keeping a stack of weapons for when one breaks. The zombies are less threatening as they just seem to be standing around waiting before you get within a few inches of them before they make their move. The less said about those annoying birds the better.
Anyhow, it seems that they HAVE made an effort with this, though they could have really pushed the game’s graphics and sound to its best a little more, it is well worth buying and definitely fun to play again and again.

Dead Rising has outstanding graphics on 360 but looks real bad on Wii, it’s even hard to read the text on my HD TV (using HD cable for Wii).
To add up to the mess, the controls are poor – i was expecting to be able to swing my Wii controller to sweep trough the hordes of zombies but the all you do is press A. What’s the point?
My recommendation: only get this game for 360.
