I don't think any true horror fan once thought for a second that the premise of Dead Rising - zombies invade a mall - was original since it completely stole the idea from Dawn of the Dead. The comparisson didn't hurt the game, however, as it was still a fantastic games and still remains one of my favorite Xbox 360 offerings. A lawsuit was still filed because of supposed copyright infringments, but the judge on the case has thrown the lawsuit out and rightfully so.

Dead Rising is one of my favorite games for the Xbox 360. If I could only get my fix of the game from the Wii version, however, I think this game would plummet down my list of favorite games of all-time. Basically, take away all the pretty graphics, tons and tons of zombies, and in exchange throw in some motion controls. Tada! Dead Rising for the Wii in a nutshell. Don't believe me - watch the gameplay footage for yourself.
