SynopsisZombie 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.Prima's official strategy guide to Dead Rising 2 features more than 190 pages of lists, maps and instructions that make this book your ultimate survival guide as well.
