Zombie slayer Frank West managed to save the country from a devastating undead uprising — if only he managed to eradicate it. In the ensuing years, the American public has come to realize the zombies weren't stopped, just stalled. The zombie threat continues to terrorize the public in massive outbreaks with mind-numbing results. Now you will step into the daredevil shoes of national Motocross talent Chuck Greene and travel to flashy Fortune City. It's not gambling and a show you're looking for, however — you're here to compete in "Terror is Reality," a gruesome game show that dares contestants to survive zombie-filled environments for the entertainment of TV audiences around the globe. Your motivation for stepping into this dangerous environment is your daughter Katey, who has been bitten by a zombie and requires a daily dose of Zombrex to prevent her from turning. Zombrex is the only effective drug of its kind on the market, making the price excruciatingly high. Unfortunately, while you're in Fortune City, a zombie outbreak occurs and you must survive the onslaught of the undead for 72 hours. Forced to defend against two fearsome threats — tens of thousands of zombies and the constant countdown of the clock — while potentially rescuing other survivors of the zombie apocalypse, you must also unravel the greater conspiracy behind the outbreak and, just as importantly, find the Zombrex necessary to stop Katey from joining the ever-growing zombie horde. It's time to shoot, stab, carve and drive your way through enemies in order to beat the clock and survive 72 hours in the darkly comedic, no holds-barred confines of Fortune City.

Dead Rising 2 takes you on another heart-pumping adventure as you strive to defeat a zombie force the likes of which the world has never seen. With more undead to defeat than ever, you'll need to keep your head if you want to succeed. With repair skills and a handyman attitude, you have a lot more to offer than just national Motocross talent. As Chuck Greene, you will find countless new objects to use as weapons, and hone your mind as the deadliest weapon. Chop, smash, crush and pummel the undead with everyday objects. With you in control, these zombies won't even know what hit them. You'll need to use every bit of brainpower to save this city of sin, but watch out — a zombie might just succeed at chilling your lucky streak.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Wondered out of a PS2 console ....
This is so sad the graphics are straight out of the PS2. The game is nearly impossible to play due to the timing mechanism used as a "plot hook". SPOILERS BELOW THIS LINE: ________________________________________________________ Because you have to obtain Zombrex for your Daughter to be given between 7AM & 8AM each morning, you don't have a lot of time to explore, create weapons or do much of anything but follow a straight line that the developers lay out for you & SHAME on you if you miss one. The ability to save hearkens back to the PS, the Save locations are the Bathroom stalls, urinals, doors, sink, it depends on which of the VERY FEW saving locations you walk into. Other Bathrooms do not even have a save spot only a Boss. The movements of the main protagonist are choppy at best and the time constraints always end up in you not finishing something or other. This game was in NO way ready for release but, Holidays are coming and the all might $$££ got the best of Capcom. According to the Amazon site here are the "Features" which I would like to address separately: "Features * Play as the intrepid Chuck Greene, using all of your skills and available objects to eliminate the zombie threat (TRUE but graphics are 1st to 2nd Gen) * Face more zombies than ever before with increased undead numbers (NO, you face approximately 8 different zombies replicated to save time, eventually it is just the same old, same old) * Use your skills from past repair work and your handyman abilities to crush the evil beings (Half-truth, this can only be done as long as you don't miss your daily deadline for your daughters Zombrex injection). * Find even more objects that you can use to pulverize, slice and dice brain-eating monsters (They disappear after half dozen hits or so). * Experience a heart-pumping storyline as you try to defend a city made for glamour, not death (Storyline? The only real story line is that you must give your daughter her Zombrex each morning between 7AM & 8AM + your feud with a rival Dirt Bike racer) * Produced by Keiki Inafune, this game offers an exciting new experience and thrilling gameplay (I don't know what game this "Keiki Infune" is talking about but it IS NOT Dead Rising 2 there is nothing Thrilling about it, except maybe hoping to get back some of the money you spent $60 back on e-bay = isn't going to happen) * Play with a friend and have even more fun as you lure zombies in using strategic items like a toy helicopter or a firecracker (In this time of OPEN World gaming, they have handed you a sandbox in which you can play with 3 of your friends online. WOW Innovative ... please note sarcasm) * Terror is Reality mode allows four players to compete in a gladiator-type show that pits zombies against a group of players in the ultimate VS. multi-player blood bath (Just as worthless as the rest of the game with the exception of being able to chat with friends ... Oh wait I can do this with any game and have an open world, so forget I mentioned that) * Combine two everyday items using duct tape to create the ultimate zombie-killing creations, such as the Portamower and Paddlesaw (If you can take the time as missions tick away as does the time to get to your daughter with more zombrex that is only sold in Pawn shops that are usually nowhere near your missions) * Unlock combo cards along the way to get the advantage by learning what items are best for combining (Woo .... hoo ..... ) * Earn Prestige Points as you decimate more and more zombies with your creative contraptions" (only fun for about an hour then BORING) In Short, which I apologize that this is not. This game HAD a LOT of potential but just has so many frustrating moments, it makes for a BAD game, this game could have been so much better in the right hands. Some examples that really frustrated me: Saving: You forget to save and guess what, you have to start ALL OVER! No auto-save or instant save features. Time-limit: I also dislike the time limit. I understand that the initial reason was to make the game more engaging, however this doesn't work for me. I would just like to do the side missions without having to worry about the oh so frustrating time limit. Without the time limit this game could have been kind of similar to GTA. Missions: Another thing that frustrates me is how you enter a mission. You all of a sudden enter a mission while you are WAY OFF the actual icon on the map and were just passing through. Way points: Why can't we set a way point on our map? These are just a few examples the developers could have easily implemented, but just didn't for some selfish reason. It looks like the developers only concentrated on the feature to combine weapons, which is fun for an hour at most..

Killn' zombies!
Running around is fun, but when you try and save people who aren't zombies, they go so slow and this is what make she game not fun. If they could keep up and not get caught so much! Then it would be a great game instead of an ok game
