Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the perfect setup for a new sequel

Dead Rising is still heaps of daft, gory fun, and the Deluxe Remaster is an excellent excuse to catch up with Frank. Almost every change that's been made to the new release is for the better, and while it won't blow your socks off like Capcom's other revisited classic, we're more than happy to spend another 72 hours with Mr West. He's covered wars, you know.

  • Gameplay is as fun as you remember from 2006...
  • ... Because Capcom has ironed out some of the rougher edges
  • Mid-2000s cringe inducing soundtrack is largely intact
  • Not a visual stunner
4 / 5
