Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop Ships

Capcom’s Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop heads to retail today for the Wii. The game which is based on the Xbox 360 hit Dead Rising, is more third-person shooter/action and less open world zombie slaying sim, which has, naturally lead to some criticism of the game. Of course, having not played it yet I can not speak to whether or not it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread or yet another watered down, convoluted port to the Wii.

Unlike its Xbox 360 counterpart, the Wii version is split into a series of individual cases all of which Frank must complete in order to gain vital information that will allow him to piece together the truth behind the horrendous epidemic. In addition to the cases, players will be faced with the dilemma of deciding the rescue priority of the residents of Wilamette who also sought sanctuary in the mall. Depending on the player’s skill, some may not be so fortunate as each rescue needs to be undertaken in a set time period.

We Hope Chop Till You Drop is good, but we’re not holding our breath. Look for a full review from Crisp Gamer soon.
