Capcom lets loose the zombie hordes in Dead Rising Mobile for iPhone

Not your ordinary trip to the shopping mall

Capcom lets loose the zombie hordes in Dead Rising Mobile for iPhone

Zombie action fest Dead Rising Mobile is ready for release for iPhone and iPod touch, and will go on sale tomorrow, December 9th.

A portable take on the original console action title, this iOS edition has you brandishing everyday items against hordes of slavering zombies that wander a shopping mall.

From baseball bats to samurai swords to fully loaded guns, there's a surprising array of items at your disposal.

While much has been done to adapt the core design of the console version to iPhone and iPod touch, some elements seem to have been lost in translation.

For example, both movement and camera controls have been mapped to a single analogue stick. It's a configuration identical to Resident Evil 4, so if you enjoyed that game you should feel at home here.

Creative use of Facebook and Twitter could set the game apart. If you succumb to the undead, your Facebook or Twitter pals can save you by responding to your distress calls.

Dead Rising Mobile will be available for iPhone and iPod touch on December 9th at a price of £2.99/$4.99.
