Dead Rising 2

Brilliantly crazy with bags of fun

User Rating: 8.5 | Dead Rising 2 PS3

I enjoyed dead rising and this sequel is very similar, in a good way. Killing zombies like this never gets boring and there's so many ways to do it! However, a few key issues ruin the fluidity and make it inferior to the first, such as camera and load times.


Pros: Great pace
Hundreds of weapons, although I tend to stick to a few anyway. New motorcycle feature went missing and I never used it once :(
Decent story
Never stops being fun killing the zombies
Combining weapons is awesome although it would be great if you didn't have to lern them all and could simply combine anything

Cons:
Ridiculous loading times every time you leave a room ruins the pace. This needs fixing if they are to attempt a dead rising 3.
Camera is zoomed in to ridiculous levels unlike first game. At least give us an option to zoom out, this really affected the enjoyment as I could never see what was next to me!
*spoiler* suffers after super zombies are introduced with too much on screen clearly
STILL no waypoints! Madness!
