Very Good

Fun for what it is

You're not gonna get a highly developed story line, you're not gonna get a great deal of amazing over the top graphics, but overall the game is very fun. I've always been fan of the zombie games, and I've always thought that it's fun to murder things.

There are a couple of annoying things like lack of an autosave so if you get to a point, save, then play for 15-30 minutes extra and don't save and you die then you basically lose that progress. In this day and age you would think it's a given that they'd have autosave checkpoints. Outside of that I wouldn't complain much though.

Awesome game, better than the first!

Imagine the first one, 5x better, and you have Dead Rising 2. Save system is fixed, tiny text is fixed and the stupid AI that pretty much guaranteed your survivors death is fixed. Will say this, this has the absolute cheapest, most frustrating poker mini game you will ever play. CHEAPEST! It's as if, the computer deals hands to work around what you have. It doesn't seem random at all.

That said, it's an amazing game, all around!

Good, but I was dissapointed

Don't get me wrong, I really like this game, but it really felt like just an updated version of the first.

Customizable weapons are cool, and focusing solely on killing zombies (rather than taking their pictures XD) was a nice improvement

Overall Good game, I expected more tho

Really hope a DR3 will happen and that maybe a new physics engine with more realistic body and environment interactions

However, is there any other game in the world where your hero can have pink hair, a green super hero mask, converse with knee high socks, pocka dotted underwear and a hoover?

Love it.
