Basically this game is Dead Rising recreated in the resident evil 4 engine. Gameplay, environments, story line. is all left intact. The controls are exactly the same as resident evil 4 and it still feels pretty damn good. The guns are far more effective weapons now thanks to the cursor aiming and all the weapons are the SAME MODELS as the RE4 ones which I thought was pretty cool. All the other weapons do a normal swing with A, strong swing/throw with a flick of the remote.
The biggest problem is due to the Wii's lacking power the graphics don't look anywhere near as good, but they are not terrible. There's also fewer zombies, but it still maintains the atmosphere.
Basically here's what it comes down to, if you don't have an Xbox 360, this is worth checking out. If you have played this game on a 360 then you are probably going to be disgusted. Stay away 360 owners, Wii owners, if you liked RE4 Wii Edition, you will enjoy this.
