When I played the first game i was excited and had fun but after 30 minutes i lost all that fun and realised that you need to be at least lv 30 to start a normal walkthrough, luckily in DR2 you dont need it !!! This Sequel improved alot of things since the last game like weapons, there is now twice as much as weapons from the first game including the combo card which make your weapon super strong !!!

- Well, Lets Start with the Details !! -

* Visuals - 85/100
The textures are never spectacular up close, the lip syncing is poor and the frame-rate issues can be frustrating on the odd occasion; other than that, the game is very pretty to look at from afar and they've captured the look of this fictional sin city perfectly. The camera angles in the cutscenes are amusingly erotic as well. Proper B-movie stuff. Great! The Blood visuals are beautifull too but after killing too much it just becoming too red and not pretty !!

* Gameplay - 95/100
Dead Rising 2's pick-up and play exterior could well tempt in a few players, but don't underestimate how difficult Dead Rising 2 can get if you're not prepared. No complaints really from a control standpoint, other than that the low-level Chuck is annoyingly slow. After leveling up you become really strong especially when you reach level 50 !! Then the gameplay runs smoothly and more fun but its not a big problem to start a game from lvl 1 !!

* Sound - 90/100
A well written script is brought to life by a fairly solid performance from pretty much all the cast – with the exception of a certain reporter. The zombie groans, ambient background noise and madness-inducing mall music is spot on as well. There's even a few references in the script to the original which will certainly raise a smile or two.

* Story - 90/100
The Story is pretty similiar to the first game - Zombie Outbreak again but this time you have a daughter you need to take care and give a zombrex every 24 hours, the game also have a multiple endings like the first one although i got only 2 endings im sure there is much more through the progress you realise more and more about the city and by the end the zombies becomes even tougher than ever !!

Dead Rising 2 is a huge improvement over the first one, The Save systme is the same but got a little upgrade but other than that this game kept me interesting enough to play it through 2 times and the Multiplayer is nice too !!!

it Gets an Outstanding 9/10
