I played this game alot on Xbox 360, and had lots of fun after I heard the remake of the first game, I was craving to play dead rising again, I was gonna replay dead rising 1 again but I kinda already beat before on ps4 maybe one day I'll replay it, but I started to remember about dead rising 2 I played this game so much years ago I wanted to revisit this game and so far it this game aged like fine wine, love the combo cards system in the game and the location is amazing, Chuck Greene this badass dude protecting his daughter its a great game I highly recommend this game of course get the original too its great, I might even check out dead rising 3 cause I never got the chance to play that game, but don't play dead rising 4 its bad I mean really bad unless your curious how the series went dead for awhile lol etiher way give this series a try its worth it!

I have many more hours on the PS3 version of this game. Still one of the best zombie games of all time. There's so many little secrets to discover and hidden methods to success, so it feels really rewarding to experiment and explore every nook and cranny. I don't wanna come across as a game boomer or anything, but this really is a capsule of time where 'open world' meant small, detail packed maps over vast, empty ones. The story is unashamedly cheesy but still interesting, the bosses are challenging, (admittedly, some are really unfair) and going back to my first point, it is really satisfying to finally find the optimal way of taking them down. It lets you turn the tables on those blatant cheaters. All in all, a simple but perfectly designed joyride.
