Dead Rising – Xbox360 and Wii Comparison

In this video, gametrailers, made a comparison of both platforms running the same game. As seen, the Xbox360 kicks Wii’s ass!

Dead Rising ( for Wii )- Review

This exclusive Xbox360 third-person zombie game is now coming to the Nintendo Wii and killing zombies in a video game as now a new meaning.

The story start with an investigation scoop in Colorado with the journalist Frank West who doesn’t know what he’s getting in to. While in the helicopter he finds massive crows of zombies in the streets. The government helicopters force him to land in the roof of a shopping mall leaving Frank with 74 hours to complete his story and 3 days to try to survive. But Frank is not alone in the shopping center, he’s with some investigators trying to the find the key of the zombie appearance, some zombie victims and some villains trying to stop his investigation at all costs.

Almost all of the objectives involve rescuing someone or picking an item that’s in one spot and taking it to another. As obvious, there are lots of zombies in between.

With all that carnage and rescuing it’s easy to forget the main objective of the game, to complete Frank’s investigation/story. The photo ability is taken in this version, which is not a very cleaver thing to do since the main objective is to complete an investigation for a journal.

The gameplay has been changed drastically. Melee attacks are still possible and when an enemy is down you can do a combination with the WiiMote that finished the enemy with some crazy hits.

Literally everything in the game could be a weapon but in the Wii version the choices are more limited. The most noticeable upgrade is that there are tons of ammo on the floor to keep the gameplay more easy, while in the 360 it was a little harder to replenish your ammo.

The WiiMote will be ( of course ) to aim and shoot your enemies but it isn’t as simple as it might seem.

The biggest flaw is that the friendly AI just sucks. The zombies are great ( …for a zombie, AH! ) but while you’re trying to escort a friend to another place sometimes it will run straight to piles of zombies or he just walking at all and stays behind.

The graphics, when released in the 360, where great but, as obvious, in the Wii they suck. The script and the voices aren’t very good but they’re enought for casual players.

The game is funny and the gameplay is very good in the Wii but it gets boring really quick.

House of the Dead: Overkill – Review

This game is very funny! Constantly dropping “F Bombs”, hot chick on a motorcycles and a guy that doesn’t make sense at all with his bad analogies. Support for up to 4 players and nice gameplay

Blood, violence and swearing are the main element of this game, but still, it’s pretty cool! Desgusting and hilarious at the same time.
