Having the ability to save where you like and also being able to make crazy weapons and vehicles like you could in Dead Rising 3, but as Frank is really cool.Īs you play through the game you will have to deal with thousands of zombies and of course, crazy human characters like Frank had to deal with in the first game. There is no doubt that kicking zombie butt (and evil organization butt too) as Frank West once again is an absolute blast. There really is not a ton of improvement over what Dead Rising 3 offered and I have even heard some people refer to it as a more of a Dead Rising Greatest Hits than a full new game and I do think that is a fair criticism. One of the criticisms that were thrown Dead Rising 4’s way when it was released was just how familiar it all felt. I actually really liked the story that Dead Rising 4 told and I think that it made Frank more of a heroic character than just a cool one like he was before. He is now working as a professor and he gets sucked into this story about experiments on zombies.Īs you would expect, things go horribly wrong and Frank once again finds himself in a shopping mall with thousands of zombies. It is kind of like the whole, Die Hard is a Christmas movie thing! Anyway, the game is set in the year 2022, years after Frank had his “experience” at the mall. One of the stranger aspects of Dead Rising 4 is that I would actually class this as a Christmas game.
