Caffeinated Thoughts
I have never played Dead Rising, any version of it, though after getting in a zombie kick here lately with "The Walking Dead" series, I'm almost tempted to pick this up and see how it plays. If you have seen anything from "The Walking Dead" series, I think the term "mall walkers" is not only very appropriate to describe the zombies in Dead Rising on the Wii, but very ironic since that is a term for people that participate in mall walking.
If you haven't seen anything about Dead Rising on the Wii, the trailer below should give you a decent look at the game:
I think it's good seeing the average hours reported "Per person" continue to increase on this game, even if slowly, over the last 2 years. While I'm not in a rush to grab the game, if I'm ever looking for an extra used game in a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" GameStop or even BestBuy used sale, I can remember this one should give me a solid 10 hours of gameplay, at the minimum.
