The original Dead Rising may have borrowed its core concept from horror classic Dawn of the Dead,
but the level of absurdity in that game was completely unlike anything
that preceded it. Sure, it can be played on the straight and narrow,
with a variety of traditional firearms and blades scattered throughout
the suburban mall, but who didn't swap his or her pistol or knife for a
soccer ball, cactus, or stuffed teddy bear whenever possible? The
process of killing zombies in increasingly bizarre manners felt more
important than the end result, and Dead Rising was all the better for
it.
Luckily, Dead Rising 2
doesn't muck up the formula with wild gameplay shifts or scenario
changes. It maintains nearly everything that made Dead Rising such a
weird concoction, warts and all, but improves aspects that frustrated
many gamers, while lightly expanding what made it such a fresh and
exciting experience.
Dead Rising 2 swaps in a new setting and cavalcade of personalities,
but despite the fresh faces, the experience remains remarkably familiar
throughout. Fortune City -- a fictional, sprawling Las Vegas-style
casino complex -- may be defined primarily through its slot machines and
risque content, but like any worthwhile Vegas destination, its casino
floors are bookended by malls and standalone shops, and you'll spend at
least as much time looting stores as you will vaulting over roulette
tables.
New lead Chuck Greene may lack the aggressive obnoxiousness of
photojournalist Frank West (and is arguably a less endearing character
because of it), but ultimately, his plight to save his infected daughter
and clear his name after being framed for a zombie outbreak feels
secondary to the immense joy of slaying the undead in all sorts of
devious ways.
Living out your Shaun of the Dead
fantasies by chucking records at zombies feels downright pedestrian in a
game that lets you mow down foes while riding a pink tricycle, thwart
on-comers with a phallic-shaped "massager," and trample enemies by the
truckload while rolling through tunnels in a large metal ball straight
out of American Gladiators.
The collection of curious items is wider and more diverse the second
time around, and even after playing through the original and the Xbox
360-exclusive prequel, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, it's amazing how much
fun it is to stumble on some random, otherwise mundane item and use it
to bash the nearest shambling foe.
But as Case Zero demonstrated, Dead Rising 2 is no longer just about
finding intense and incongruous ways to slay zombies -- it's also about
inventing new contraptions to ratchet up both the bloodshed and
hilarity. Specific items in the game can be combined with others, with
dozens of available pairings that spawn shockingly creative death
devices.
The Spiked Bat (baseball bat + nails) and Drill Bucket (power drill +
bucket) initially entertain, but are quickly surpassed by much more
ridiculous concoctions like the Heliblade -- a toy helicopter with
machete blades -- and Roaring Thunder, which requires a car battery and
Blanka mask; this combination is not only deadly, it simultaneously
offers up one hell of an inside joke. Finding the items and discovering
the combinations adds a completely new and totally optional layer of
depth to the experience, and is sure to keep players entertained well
past a standard campaign playthrough.
It's easy to lose track of time parading through the malls and
casinos, racking up kills while experimenting with a wide array of found
items, but don't fret: it's much harder to screw up your campaign
progress by skipping out on essential missions. While the campaign
maintains the structured, watch-the-clock approach of the first, the
addition of three separate save slots means you can more easily roll
back to an earlier point in the game if you miss a crucial mission cue.
Dead Rising 2's campaign stretches on in excess of 15 hours for each
playthrough, but it's nearly impossible to fit in every side mission
during a single run, meaning a second and maybe third shot should be
considered to soak in every last bit of Fortune City. Both the core
missions and optional quests -- which typically involve escorting
survivors (who can actually fend for themselves this time around) to the
safe house or battling psychotic bosses -- can feel like chores at
times, and the plot twists are unlikely to throw anyone for a loop, but
even with some still-clunky gameplay elements, Dead Rising 2 remains
entertaining throughout.
And it's well worth sticking to the program and knocking out side
missions, as leveling up endows Chuck with new moves and recipes for
weapon combinations, thus enriching the rest of your zombie-killing
escapades. A second online player can jump into your campaign as a co-op
buddy, and while the influence of a second player doesn't significantly
alter the experience, it's certainly amusing to traipse around the
complex with a pal. Plus, the online mini-games based on the fictional
Terror is Reality game show -- seemingly a throwaway,
bullet-point-on-the-box kind of feature -- are actually very
entertaining, and can earn you a lot of in-game cash for use in the
campaign.
Dead Rising 2 is filled with quirks and lingering flaws, but they're
easily shrugged off when delivering the business end of an Electric Rake
-- that'd be a car battery and rake joined with duct tape -- to an
unsuspecting zombie, as the pure joy of creation and destruction alike
come together to create an enthralling action experience that's still
unlike anything else out there.
PROS: Still immensely fun to kill zombies in droves with
mundane items; weapon creation system adds whole new layer to game;
Fortune City is a wonderland of fresh possibilities; online modes are
worthwhile additions.
CONS: Missions can be a bit bland and repetitive; frequent loading screens, plus a bit clunky and unrefined in places.
