Dead Rising, No Jumping, Less Melee Weapons

With every new piece of information that comes forward about Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop it seems more and more like little to no adjustments are being made to the Resident Evil 4 engine. Jumping, an integral part to Frank West's zombie bashing, has been omitted as it wasn't part of the RE 4 game engine. To top things off their are going to be less weapons than in the original 360 title, not what we were hoping to hear.

Nintendo Power have reported that Frank can no longer jump, although it isn't clear if that includes a jump as part of an attack. What about jumping onto ledges? Many contained useful weapons, are these not going to be there, or will there be an 'action button' instead?

A more disappointing downgrade from the original title is the fact that you can now only carry one melee weapon. It looks as if you'll have to make the decision between chainsaw and golf clubbing to the eye, a decision no zombie basher should have to make. How this works exactly is unclear, if the chainsaw will be dropped the minute you pick up the golf club is yet to be determined. Frank is going to have to start packing heat to survive, yes guns were useful in the original but weren't as fun as using the lawnmower, or as effective as the chainsaw in a crowded area. The Wii port will also have less weapons overall than the original. This is disappointing since Dead Rising was all about killing zombies with anything and everything that you could find lying around.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop looks like one of the best games on the Wii in a long while, we just hope that the $30 360 version isn't superior in every way.
