    Why do people hate this game?


    Dead Rising 2 is amazing... I hated Dead Rising 1... I would also like to point out that it seems like Jeff and many of the other users posted a poor review of this game WITHOUT ACTUALLY PLAYING IT! I've heard one complaint that I agree with... Survivors shoot each other and you... This is true. Other then that... People complain about the graphics... Why? People complain about clunky combat... The combat works fine for me... Maybe you suck at games...  Jeff complained about voice-overs saying they occasionally sound like someone from Canada not Nevada... I've lived in Reno Nevada my entire life and am quite critical about voice-overs... I didn't notice! Nevadans must sound like Canadians! I was un-aware of this phenominon! Everyone says it's frustraiting/challenging... It's kind of too easy for me! I must be really good at games then! Wait, NO I'M NOT!!! That is it's biggest fault in my opinion, no difficulty settings. So, just to be clear. In my professional opinion Dead Rising 2 is awesome! It deserves 4 stars... but seeing as the average is 3.7... 5 stars!

Dead Rising 2 takes t...
