Even after playing for dozens of hours, you’ll still find new things in Dead Rising 2. I won’t spoil anything, but there’s a lot of variety to be found in the game beyond obvious things like the number of objects that can be used as bludgeons. This game is designed for multiple playthroughs, and I’m looking forward to each and every one of them.

The Dead Rising formula proves to be as addictive as ever, and a new cooperative mode and weapon crafting system are great additions to the franchise.

We admit we miss the first Dead Rising’s goofier schtick and the initial wow factor of its innovative challenge. But the latter hasn’t been toned down for this sequel, and the game remains — even with its flaws — a shuffler lover’s undead dream.

It’s not the smoothest game and it can feel like the last one, however that doesn’t mean a thing when the game’s this much fun. Using a car battery and a Street Fighter mask to electrocute the undead and a set of knives and a pair of boxing gloves to make Wolverine claws are all great times.

Dead Rising 2 doesn't stray from the core principle of the original. Murdering zombies in creative ways is immensely entertaining.

One of the best games ever. Just so intense.

And the most important thing: zombies everywhere!

Well, the fact of the matter is and the most important and fun fact is the - zombies plot. I mean, zombies just makes everything fun and exciting! Not to mention thrilling. I've picked up this game twice actually. Once for me and once for my friend - he also loved it!

I believe the game has earned its rating. They're fair and shouldn't be lower. I can't say they can be higher either for many many reasons.
