Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Capcom brings you Dead Rising for the iPhone and iPod touch, because nothing says holiday cheer like carving up a zombie with a chainsaw.
Like the console game, you play as Frank West, a freelance photojournalist on the hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. Utilizing makeshift weapons scavenged from the stores and displays, you battle against waves of zombies in the hopes of surviving and making you way to freedom.
Zombie hunters the world over know that nothing gives you the munchies like fighting off a flesh-starved undead maw. Dead Rising therefore includes a game mechanic that requires the player to scavenge for mall food to stay alive.
Finally, just because it’s a zombie apocalypse doesn’t mean you can’t be social. When you die in the game you’ll have the opportunity to send out a distress call via Facebook or Twitter to your friends. If you’re revived, you and your rescuers will receive a bonus. However, if you die, you’ll rise as a powerful zombie in your friend’s game.
We’re doing a limited time launch price of $4.99 so get to the downloading!
