DR: Chop Til You Drop Review

March 5th 2009 18:27
Chop Til You Drop is the third remake of the game for the Wii console, but for the most part, it's a downgrade versus an upgrade. The trailer sounded great, but you know what? It's just not all there. There are fewer undead and the hero doesn't know how to use his camera apparently.

Basically you are in a mall of zombies and you must survive until rescue arrives by keeping the hordes at bay. You are using baseball bats, buckets, mannequins, saws, golf clubs, and just about anything you can find in the mall as a weapon.

The idea of the storyline is pretty cool, but the dialogue sucks and the delivery of the characters and weapons is terrible. There's just nothing there to make the story beliveable.


When playing the boss, it's even worse. I mean, the humans can withstand tons of bullets, more than any of the zombies, and sometimes the boss will actually escape instead of die.

On top of that, you've got random parrots dropping grenades and janitors asking for money to give your tips and shortcuts through the mall. Seriously?! Who's thinking baout making a buck when you're fighting for your life againsts crazed zombies?

The one thing that Dead Rising has going for it, is that the gameplay is actually entertaining and kind of fun. I mean, yea the graphics aren't all there, but you can have fun trying on costumes and mixing drinks in a blender. Another good addition is that there are multiple save slots in the Wii version of Dead Rising.

But, you will find that towards the end of the game, you'll start to lose momentum as things start to get repetitive with the quests and characters. It will probably only take about 10 hours to complete the game.

For the most part Dead Rising: Chip Til You Drop is a scaled down version of the Dead Rising game. The gameplay can be fun at times, but for the most part it can be repetitive and pretty short lived game. You will find the multiple save slots and the overall aiming features and such are much better on the Wii than the xBox 360.
