10 Awful Versions Of Iconic Video Games You Didn't Know Existed

Dead Rising released a year into the Xbox 360’s life and really showed what the console could do by rendering large crowds of zombies and inviting players to mow them all down however they saw fit.

Three years later, the franchise made its way to the Nintendo Wii.

Presumably the original Dead Rising was too far out of reach for the Wii’s power and so Chop Till You Drop is a quasi-remake. The game has been built from the ground up on the engine used for Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, which totally alters the gameplay style.

Whilst this doesn’t have to necessarily be a bad change, and could offer a unique experience, the Wii version has several big holes that sink it as a viable contender. In short: everything that made Dead Rising great.

The overall countdown clock which made players do the best they could in the three available days is completely reworked and Frank West, famous photojournalist, can no longer whip out his camera for a perfect Kodak moment.

Worst of all, not only is Willamette Parkview Mall a smaller location, it’s far less inhabited. Gone are the big crowds of zombies and instead players will neatly navigate around the dozen or two that the game can render at a time. Rendering this version the one that misses the entire concept of Dead Rising.
