A remake of Dead Rising
Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop is an adaptation of Dead Rising, for the Wii. The freelance photojournalist Frank West investigates a zombie outbreak in Willamette, Colorado. He has three days at the mall to rescue survivors and solve the case before the helicopter that dropped him off returns. The basic outlines are maintained from the Xbox 360 game, but numerous changes have been made to fit the game into the Resident Evil 4 engine and to accommodate the Wii's graphical capabilities and very different controller.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop is a reimagining of the original Dead Rising for the Wii, trading the open-world mall setting for a more linear structure and emphasizing gun-based combat over creative zombie slaying. While it captures some of the original's frantic fun and offers unique Wii-based controls, Chop Till You Drop is hindered by technical limitations, a smaller scope, and sometimes frustrating design choices. It's a decent zombie-blasting experience but falls short of delivering the true Dead Rising experience found in the original.
Resident Evil 4 in a mall. You get the awesome story of the original with Wii RE 4 gameplay and no time limit. What more could you possibly want.
Back from an era where ports of games could still be radically different from one another, rather than just being a visual upgrade/downgrade to accommodate hardware that is largely the same as each other.
I'd struggle to call Chop Till You Drop a good game, but it certainly is interesting. Unique enough to actually warrant at least one playthrough just to experience all the strangeness it has to offer.

Dead Rising on the Wii with the RE4 Wii engine/gameplay Well, this is actually pretty impressive.
I played this when I only had a Wii and I thought it was pretty fun. Trying to play it again and it's still good, honestly. Not the best nor a masterpiece, but fun, indeed.

The definitive version of a modern classic
This game is so fucking funny. How did this even happen? I love playing this game every now and then to remind myself that no matter how apathetic I can be, I could always try less.
