Dead Rising 2 Review
In Dead Rising 2 you play as Chuck Greene an ex-motocross champion whose daughter was bitten by a zombie. He must participate in a game show "Terror is Reality" to buy Zombrex for his daughter to keep her from changing. Chuck is blamed for causing the outbreak in Fortune City
The leveling system has been changed from the first game to add weapon combinations to increase your leveling rather then taking candid zombie shots or Psycho pictures. You get additional points for using a combination weapon to kill a zombie (personal favorite Flashlight and Gems). You unlock the combo cards by leveling, killing psychos or investigating the environment. If you don't have the combo card you can still make the item but you get double the PP for having the card.
The game play mechanics have been tweaked slightly to make the aiming system better and the survivors that you find stick with you quite well. Since these were issues with the previous game it has been a welcome change.
The Psychos are still in the game and have their creepy yet entertaining breaks with reality and the story is carried along in a very flowing fashion.
Over all This is a fun game with so much to do that it is difficult to keep it all in check. If you had fun playing Dead Rising as Frank West then you will have just as much fun playing as Chuck Greene in Dead Rising 2.
