Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

gleasonryan's Dead Rising: Case Zero (Xbox 360 Games Store) review

5$ Zombie Slaughter?

 Dead Rising 2:Case 0 is a prequel to the upcoming Dead Rising 2. Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case 0 are being developed by Blue Castle Games. Dead Rising 2:Case 0 is Blue Castle’s first shot at a Dead Rising game. The big hook in Dead Rising 2 is the combo weapons that the protagonist, Chuck Greene, can make at work benches scattered around the world. Combo weapons are this games version of the photography that the first dead rising had. Case 0 has ten of the 50 combo weapons that will be in Dead Rising 2. Compared to the first game this game looks much better with the amount of zombies on screen at anytime noticeably higher. While saying the game looks better it does not look great up close and personal. If you were you get a good close look with the character models of Chuck, Katy (his daughter), or any of the survivors its not that impressive. Like the first dead rising this game runs on a timer. This timer 12 in game hours. During that time you have to give your daughter her needed Zombrex, make the combo weapons, and save survivors. The game serves as a way to get people excited for Dead Rising 2 which comes out in a few weeks. And in that regard it is a total success. At five dollars if you liked the first Dead Rising or are remotely interested in Dead Rising 2 this is a must buy.

 Dead Rising 2: Case Zero pushes the boundaries of what has been attempted by downloadable content, attempting to bring dead rising 2 in microcosm to its hoards of hungry moaning fans for a bargain price. The price itself is of note, 400 microsoft points is definitely a tempting proposition and while there is plenty to love about Case Zero, there are a number of small quibbles to deal with and the design itself must be overcome.   The original dead rising included a leveling system (als...

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero - The jakob187 Review 0
Dead Rising: Case Zero(Xbox 360 Games Store) by jakob187 on September 02, 2010
 Well...shiiiiit... Upon announcement, Case Zero had folks everywhere crying out "paid demo" without a second glance, and it's a justified stance to take when you know nothing more than the few screenshots and details that were released.  When you actually delve into Case Zero, you'll find that there's a lot to do for 400 Microsoft Bogus Bucks, making this an absolute no-brainer to purchase even if you won't be playing the full retail copy of Dead Rising 2.  Rather than feeling like a demo, ...
