Dead Rising 2 continues the zombie slaying madness of the original, but this time takes the mayhem to Fortune City, Nevada. Inspired by Las Vegas, it’s a city that never sleeps, filled with booze, gambling, strippers and, well, infested with blood-hungry zombies.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
Another good review for a good game.
If Dead Rising 2 would have just taken off the damn clock, it would be amazing. I don't like being rushed in games.
Killer game! Got to play it at Comic Con and was hooked!
the clock is an important part of the game..without it, it wouldn't be the same. But i can see how some peeps wouldn't like it
Biggest problem is you never have sense of fulfillment. You cannot clear out a section of Zombies. They always respawn. To me that's cheap. It'd have been much better had you been able to block off and quarantine certain areas. But hey, what do I know? I probably don't even have a Ps3 or this game. Or any games for that matter. Someone else is probably using the psn id I'd have been using if I had one too.
