I really want to play some dead rising, however, the first game did not quite grab me during my time with it.  I sold my copy of the first game, but I still would like to play a little bit of Dead Rising. Does Case Zero provide enough content to satisfy someone who just has a general interest in the game and no desire to get deep into what Dead Rising 1 and 2 hold.  I know it's only 5 bucks, but I just want to know if this will do enough to quench my thirst for tearing up zombies and finishing up somewhat meaningful tasks.

Depends on how itchy you are.

It doesn't have the shear variety in weapons or grand scale but it is worth playing through.

i think it does a fine job of getting that dead rising itch, I pretty much was in the same boat you were in. I played dead rising to the end and loved it but after that i found it hard to return.  So I have no big desire to buy dead rising 2 so i just picked up case zero which is like a hugh demo with a handful of missions and a hand full of people to save. Throw in some ahievements and you got yourself a micro size bit of dead rising fun.

If anything, I think it makes the itch worse. There is just enough content to be satisfied, yet you will want to play DR2.
