If you've been to a shopping mall lately, you might be able to relate to Frank in this gameplay video of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Sure, a zombie-infested shopping mall is worse than Black Friday, but only slightly.
This new video gives us a really good look at what we can expect from gameplay. There may not be as many zombies, but it still looks like a lot of fun. I will say that I can already tell that I'll hate that clown fight. Waggle to duck? Something tells me that it's not going to work how I'd expect it to.
One thing that concerns me happens about fifty seconds into the video. It seems that most of the zombies are performing the same scratching/twitching animation. What is this, a Michael Jackson video?

In all seriousness,
I feel really bad for those who don't get to experience the real game. This gimped version looks 100% awful. *shudder*
I'm surprised there is blood... it is on the Wii after all.
Of course, I already have it for the 360, so I won't be buying it agian, but still. I'm pleasantly surprised that it's not looking too terrible.
With this version it is more like, wheres the zombies hiding.
that mall was certainly not infected on black Friday and it looks more like that mall in china that never even opened and is deserted.
P.S. Have they changed the save system for this version?
except for the blood, that looks horrible
Empty mall is empty.
My favorite part of the trailer was the Al Fresca area, 2 zombies maybe? And that area with a bunch of them, 30 tops.
You know what's funny? For $235 dollars you can buy a 360, Dead Rising and a refurbished 20 gig HD of MS. That's less than a wii.
Meanwhile this ultra gimped version will cost 40.
Time limit's gone so there go under the wire moments or just the feeling DR had of ALWAYS having something to(seriously, try to do all missions and cases with a level 1 Frank, you'll never be be bored), tiny amount of zombies.
Well, at least the survivors seem a bit smarter as they crouched when he aimed at them but I also noticed one survivor a bit to far from Frank.
Good enough for people who never played the 360 version I guess.
I think what some people fail to understand is that this game is for people who didn't like Dead Rising that much, for the people that got bored with being forced to plow through hundreds of mostly harmless zombies over and over again, who got annoyed with being forced to keep so many god damn appointments, who found the game's controls to be frustrating, the escort missions to be a pain, etc etc.
Dead Rising on the 360 is already there for people who like Dead Rising on the 360. This game is for the rest of us.
I really wish they brought it to the PS3, instead, but it looks like it's worth a rental.
