Dead Rising 2 PC review
4This is my review of the story mode campaign of the zombie apocalypse game Dead Rising 2 (DeadRising II) on Windows PC. In Dead Rising 2 you find yourself in Fortune City: a city similar to (or inspired by) Las Vegas Nevada, in that you have access to casinos, shopping malls, an arena, tourist shops, restaurants, etc. The large majority of Fortune City is overrun with zombies. Much of the environment as well as what can be found in the stores and casinos can be used to your advantage (either as weapons against the zombies or to help you and your followers stay alive). Dead Rising 2 is very much a game of time management. Aside from zombies, you will also come across other A.I. human survivors who you can feed, arm, and help escort to the safehouse - in doing so, your player character will advance in XP level, giving you the capacity for more health, the capacity to carry more items/weapons, and new abilities and attacks to help you stay alive as you progress in the game. Survivors can only stay alive for so long on their own, so if you do not get to them in time, they will perish, and in losing said survivor, you will lose the ability to save said particular survivor for the duration of the story mode (each survivor has their own look, their own strengths and physical characteristics, their own text dialogue, and some even provide additional rewards once saved). In addition to zombies, you will also have to face off against phychopaths (A.I. humans who have gone mad and who pose a danger to you and/or the survivors you have in tow). Not only are you to save as many survivors as possible, but also your goal is to keep your daughter from turning into a zombie (she requires regular doses of a medication known as Zombrex, which is scarce and expensive). Through playthrough, hopefully you will be able to find and/or buy enough Zombrex to keep your daughter alive, all while trying to clear your name as in the storyline, you are framed for causing the Fortune City zombie outbreak. Dead Rising 2 introduces weapon crafting - combining two compatible items together in order to create a more powerful weapon. Dead Rising 2 also introduces story mode campaign co-op play - as was done in the Saints Row series of games, although in the cutscenes there is but one Chuck Greene (your protagonist player character), both you and an online friend (who is also running the game on their PC) can play through the story mode together as two Chuck Greenes in the same game world.
