Dead Rising: Compare 'til you drop

By Alisha Karabinus

There may be a dearth of actual Dead Rising: Chop 'Til You Drop screens, but we've been pretty rich in print media on the re-imagined game so far. The latest, from a French Nintendo magazine, show off some different angles from some of the scenes we've already seen, such as the psycho battle in the gun store.

There's been some concern that there just won't be as many zombies in the Wii version — and the number of zombies is pretty much the crux of the game — but considering we're seeing screens from early in the game, it isn't that surprising that there aren't that many zombies. Until we see screenshots from a cramped area like the nightmarish Al Fresca plaza, we won't really be able to judge how much, if any, the game has been downgraded in that sense. We've put together a couple of comparison shots after the break that demonstrate that there's more to be hopeful about than many had thought.

Only here in this last set is there a difference, but it's a vastly different angle. No matter the angle, however, things are looking up for this new vision of Dead Rising!
