So... It turns out that Dead Rising on the Wii is even worse than expected.
Built on the Resident Evil engine, the game had already been noted for it's removal of the save system and time limits (by popular demand, apparently), and a distinct reduction of zombies due to technical limitation.
But it has now been revealed that Frank no longer jumps, and melee weapons and hand to hand fighting Mentskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01904424198024710120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14510019.post-17538208478975871132008-12-25T13:33:00.000Z2008-12-25T13:35:25.130ZFuck Christmas...
