The story and action in Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition is pretty over the top, a staple of the series at this point which should appeal to those looking for zany zombie killing fun.
Pro Co-op support
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition supports 2 player online co-op with a few DLC missions supporting up to 4 player online co-op. Sadly there is no local co-op to speak of.
Pro Extended gameplay through side-missions and collectibles
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition offers plenty of side missions so players can take breaks from the main story line as well as lots and lost of collectibles. Taking the time to collect or complete side missions makes for plenty of hours spent in game.

Pro Immersive world

Pro Excellent free-flow combat system
This game's predecessor pioneered a new kind of free-flow combat system that's intuitive, highly responsive and supplemented with power-ups, combos and ability to use gadgets to add variety and depth.
Pro It's enjoyable just to traverse the city
The movement system feels fluid, free and exhilarating.
Pro Challenge maps and lots of side missions can be used to break up the gameplay
There are quite a lot of side missions players can play to break up the story segments of the game. Even better is that they are still accessible when the main story is completed.
Cons
Con Dull, grey aesthetic
Yet another in the long line of brown and grey video games. This aesthetic may be tiresome to those that are sensitive to this type of design choice.
Con 30fps cap
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition has a 30fps cap placed in the game by the devs (most likely being that this is a lazy port) that can be uncapped by editing an .ini file. Though once uncapped it is extremely difficult to get a stable 60fps, even on the most high end of systems.
Con Batman's movements feel stiff
Just as in the first game, Batman's movements when walking around feel very stiff and a bit jerky.
