At first, Case West looks like a storyless prologue where you just have to cut slow zombies to pieces. But if you played Caso Zero, you allready have a picture in mind of how DR2 would look like. The story doesn't take long tough, and you have to do missions in time and give Katey her Zombrex medicine, or she will die. The save-system doesn't work at all. You have to enter a restroom to save your progress and there are no checkpoints. You forget to save when having fun slicing zombies in half, but still. When a zombie kills you, you have to restart from your last save game and you might have lost hundreds of kills, wich is frustrating and you don't feel like you wanna cut the zombies in half again. The map is also to small, tough. It's just a few streets and some houses, wich doesn't gives a good picture about the big world of casino's in the official game, but when you smash a slotmachine and you see some money flyin' out, you know what's ahead in Fortune City... So the gameplay is great, but the zombies are a little bit to slow tough. The story isn't that awesome, but is you play DR2 you will be happy you've played it. The graphics are better than the first DR, but it's not great. It's an open world where you can change clothes and hairstyles and stuff, so it's normal the graphics break a bit down.
