Destructoid: Dead Rising Wii is Teh Suck

Destructoid has a very discouraging preview of the Wii version of Dead Rising, subtitled Chop Til You Drop. As feared, the limited Wii resources eviscerates everything that was good about the Xbox 360 and PC version (which was released in Japan):
When I say “lifeless,” that is no suggestion that we have more zombie action going on than in previous demos and videos. I still never saw more than a dozen zombies at any given time, and zombie corpses melt away upon death to keep as much of the Wii’s limited resources available as possible. Now, provided the timeline of Chop Till You Drop remains the same as its predecessor, the mission we played is very early in the game and before the mall becomes truly overrun. Still, it was rather unimpressive and I’ve never seen anything anywhere to suggest that this is not the standard throughout.
Even in the beginning of the original version, though, there were hundreds of zombies in the foyer. The graphics, even for the Wii, are pretty substandard as well. Looks like Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop is living down to its already low expectations.

Lol I don’t know what people expected. At least HOTD overkill is good.
