Product Description
Several years have passed since the Wilamette incident, and while Frank West was able to save America from a zombie apocalypse, the cause of zombification was not completely contained. This led to continued zombie outbreaks throughout the United States. Dead Rising 2 for PC shifts the action from the everyday world of mid-West America to the glitz and glamour of Fortune City, America’s latest and greatest entertainment playground. People flock to Fortune City from around the globe to escape from reality and the chance to win big. The game sees the introduction of former national Motocross champion, Chuck Greene, as the main protagonist. Before he hit the big time with a team and sponsorship behind him Chuck was forced to repair his own bikes, leaving him incredibly resourceful; a real handyman. A single father, Chuck dotes on his daughter Katey who, since the loss of her mother, he will do anything for. With hundreds of zombies on screen at any one time, the original Dead Rising forced gamers to turn the everyday objects they found in the Mall into improvised weapons capable of fending off attacks. Dead Rising 2 promises to increase the carnage with even more zombies intent on feasting on human flesh and countless new objects with which Chuck can make the undead dead. Combo Weapons; Players can combine two everyday items using duct tape to create the ultimate zombie killing creations such as the Portamower and Paddlesaw. Unlocking combo cards along the way will give players the advantage as the helpful cards will show you what items are best for combining . The more zombies you destroy using your creative combo’s, the more Prestige Points you can earn which levels up Chuck along the way. Prologue: Compelling new content that will be released ahead of the game launch, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero will give fans a taste of the experience while introducing you to the new characters and story that will unfold in Dead Rising 2.

Perhaps I was mistaken, but I remember the general reaction to the original game to be something like this: "free roaming zombie killing is fun, but timed missions, escort missions and only saving at certain locations is not!" Well, Dead Rising 2 is out and rather than fix, well, any of that, the game is just... more of the same. More of the same to the point where if the original game were on PC I am not sure who I would suggest this sequel to. In Dead Rising 2 you play a gameshow contestant straight out of "The Running Man" only with zombies, which makes it (perhaps) morally ethical. Things go bad and you get trapped in the city of Fortune with a skeleton crew of survivors and a daughter with a bad drug habit (Zombrex, to stop her from turning, not heroin). The basic game structure is divided into two halves, one being non-linear exploration and...

This is no different, nothing much has changed from the original on the X-box 360, but this is the PC version. Being there is no PC version for the first one, there is really nothing to compare to but game play. Most noticeable difference is the amount of Zombies. There is so much more in the PC version than any other version. It makes it more of a dire situation than say the X-box 360, or PS3, having both systems and the PC I can see the difference. I didn't buy the X-box version, but my friend did. Graphics of course are much, much, MUCH, better on the PC than any other system. Not to say, that the graphics are amazing, because there not. There good, but not GROUND breaking. On the PC, it's a lot sharper, crisp, and smoother at the same time. The graphics are much better than the first game, but not a hug update. On the...

You can make a few really powerful weapons. Same fundamentals as the first game. You have a time limit, if you die your experience carries over, rescue people, ect. You have 3 save slots. Now I can trail and error more effectively. Survivors can be drove around in wheel chairs and seem to have overall better AI. Longer than the 1st game. Does not require a high end gameing computer to enjoy. - Cons: Most weapon combination are for entertainment value only and are very impracticable. They also got rid of blenders so no more mixing drinks, which I find more useful that creating weapons. I miss quick step. The graphics seems a step down in some areas. Reflections and lighting seems less realistic. I get 60 FPS 90% of the game, but for some areas it dips down to 30ish. Not even busy areas. I wish there was more voice acting, I hate reading the radio as I am dodging zombies. No camera. I... Read more |
