Almost stopped watching after 3 mins but was ok overall

First up I'm a fan of the games however only 3 mins in and they had a zombie pull a gun and fire it, which was stupid because we all know zombies don't make concious choices like that. Then they had the same zombie get a weapon embedded in its head, which obviously should've killed it but didn't.
I almost stopped at that point because it seemed the creators were not aware of the rules of zombies as a whole and certainly not the Dead Rising games but I kept going and it didn't really have any more stupid bits like that thankfully. In the end it did stay fairly faithful to the games with the weapon building, storyline etc and kept me entertatined enough.

Dead Rising does indeed have zombies firing guns in the same way as the cop in the film. I actually found that more in keeping with the games than the clown zombie with an axe; IMO, the clown should have been a human psychopath since they didn't really have any of the game's trademark "humans sent crazy by the outbreak" encounters, just the bikers.
