fixes 70% of the problems of the original DEAD RISING and exceeds on what was great about the first game.

DEAD RISING was in my top 3 games of 2006 alongside Gears of War, and Resistance Fall of Man, it was that good, it tossed in a massive open mall to explore, up to a thousand zombies on screen at once, being able to use anything in the mall as either a weapon, or health regeneration item, and unique time limit gameplay and multiple endings, but it did have clunky combat controls, and a terrible save system, making it terribly punishing if you die and havent saved your game since before you did heaps of missions & more.

DEAD RISING 2 is a great sequel let me start that the story is better with a big focus on clearing your character chuck's name and keeping your infected daughter alive with zombrex, and that there are a lot of nods and winks and familieralities from the first game, this game is also alot easier than the original with something that was crap from the first but is now Sh#tloads better in this, the SAVE SYSTEM, you now have three save slots, restrooms are greater in numbers and the game asks you if you want to save after you complete each case file, and another thing is that the combat is a bit better, but you are still vulnerable while attacking, the new additions are the combo cards you can now combine certain weapons to unlock scratch cards then eventually combo cards, it makes this game so much fun and its probably the biggest addition to DEAD RISING 2, another good addition is co-op when playng DR2 you can have a mate over xbox live join in and play as chuck's clone, its heaps good.

the only bad thing is that the graphics could've looked alot better it looks a bit better than the first game which looked great FOR IT'S TIME, this game doesn't look like anything fantastic but the zombie faces do look awesome, another bad thing is that the achievements aren't as fun to collect as the first game but that is a small problem.

this is a great game one of the best games of 2010 alongside Halo Reach, Black Ops, and Red Dead Redemption, go and get it now and if you see the original in the bargain bin get that with it, two very fun games back 2 back.

9/10
