Hey there, i never played the original Dead Rising 2, but i have the urge to play it. I played the original Dead Rising on release and enjoyed it a lot. I heard Off the Record has the same game play mechanics but will have a different story, am i right here?. My question is the story from the original good enough for me to play that, instead of Off the Record (i cant see myself playing both to be honest)

Thanks

Probably, Off the Record. It's supposed to come with many tweaks that will make it better than the original.

I haven't played Dead Rising 2 yet- and I know I'm going with Off the Record- why? I'm not sure. Frank West? The other guy was fine but that trailer sold me immediately.

I enjoyed DR2's story and gameplay, and you can probably find it real cheap right now. So, I would recommend that you buy it, and wait for Off the Record's price to drop, and then buy that if you enjoyed DR2. It is also possible that there will many references to DR2's story in OtR that you will enjoy more if you played DR2 first.
