Dead Rising 3 Review Summary

StrongCritic Consensus

Dead Rising 3 is certainly a strong entry to Capcom's goofy zombie-slaying franchise, but its sheer size and technical issues do leave much to be desired

Critic Reviews for Dead Rising 3

It's far from perfect, but there's no doubt that Dead Rising 3 stands as one of the most fun gaming experiences in the next generation so far.

The spine of the game is still mashing your way through zombie hordes with elaborate weaponry, and fortunately this remains enjoyable from beginning to end, but having stripped back some of the humour and made the game less colourful and more gritty, it's a shame that the developers weren't able to infuse it with something else to top up its character. It's not as though Capcom Vancouver didn't understand people's love of the originals: when you're not smashing through zombies, you collect golden statues of Frank West, while the local museum has exhibitions dedicated to West and Chuck Greene, his successor in Dead Rising 2.

With zombies, more is better. Dead Rising 3 delivers the undead and great tools to kill them with by the truckload.

Dead Rising 3 has made its brand of zombie-slaying as much fun as possible, but it needs to fix a lot more than that before it becomes the king of the undead.

The best Dead Rising so far and purveyor of some of the most entertainingly absurd weapons in all gaming – just don't expect any depth or longevity.

The absurd sense of humor and massive crowds of zombies are an irresistible combination. A variety of nagging bugs and glitches distract from the overall joy

Dead Rising 3 has a lot of fun encouraging you to use its impressive array of barmy, brutal weaponry in an undead city.

Dead Rising 3 is a promising, ultimately clumsy next-gen debut
