It was a similar tale for the first Dead Rising. Visceral and fun yet I have no recollection of it ever being particularly powerful in its storytelling.

The three difficulty options offered in the demo: easy, medium, and hard. Now, to some of the more adept gamers and hardcore Mega Man fans, you may immediately jump into hard or at the least medium. Think again.
