How it feels

A frantic, often humorous race against time as you craft improvised weapons and team up to survive relentless zombie hordes in a sprawling casino resort.

What players say

Players love the creative weapon combos and fun co-op, but many warn that the PC port lacks native controller support and requires third-party software or workarounds to get a gamepad working. Some find the movement janky and the game easier than the original Dead Rising, though the timed Zombrex system still creates stress.
