In Dawn of the Dead, the zombies are compelled to return to the mall through some kind of instinct - a memory of what they used to do. For a few gamers that might be reason enough to pick up Dead Rising 2, and for a few of those even reason enough to enjo...

Dear Rising 2 is a great game – when played for ten minutes and wading through zombies with a paddle-saw. When you play it properly though, it falls apart. Frustrating, bloated and slightly stilted – it’s fun, but it’s not great. 7.8/10Print this pageC...
Abstract: When you first start playing Dead Rising 2, the world feels instantly familiar. Sure, it's been four years since the original Dead Rising debuted on the Xbox 360, but once you see those zombies rushing towards you in the game's opening act, you know exact...
Abstract: I have said it before and I am sure that I'll say it again – at this point in time, the zombie apocalypse seems like a foregone conclusion. I don't know when it will begin and I don't pretend to know what the impetus will be for the rise of the undead...
Abstract: I wasn't originally a big fan of Capcom's first Dead Rising title, the save system frustrated me and I couldn't wrap my head around progressing my character by starting over every few times I died. It was a little different for me, I didn't grow up on ...

Combo Cards are great additions; entertaining story with a likable lead character; greatly improved A.I.; co-op and competitive multiplayer are both a lot of fun.
Time-based mission structure still results in some frustration; some Psychopath fights are cheap and poorly designed; the Combo Card system really screams for some storage lockers.
Abstract: If you had told me about a Canadian version of a Japanese take on a popular American genre, I would have cynically assumed that such a product would result in a sloppy mess of too many cultures clashing with each other over the same idea. Yet, this com...
