This game is great cause right at the start two evil sword lesbians are mean to you which is really nice already but then they tell you some of the ladies are disappointed in your performance. So like aside from that being hot as hell it also means there are some women who aren't disappointed in me which might be the best thing anyone's ever said to me. I feel like someone just called me a good dog. My tail is wagging.
I like to keep a save just before their boss fight so they can beat me up as thanks. Probably unrelated though. But I'm pretty sure I'm normal. I mean I have a job and stuff I'm probably normal.

My review might be somewhat biased since this game was a great part of my childhood, generating golden memories with a friend I used to play together on the Xbox 360...
This game is just wonderful and fun as I remember, the sheer creativity that you can go about with this game is something that I missed a lot, especially combining weapons together for some ridiculous albeit funny uses. Actually, that's what games should be! Ridiculous and funny! Something a lot of AAA games nowadays seem to completely disregard, as the developers give you the absolute safe slop of a game. ANYWAY!
It's not that this game doesn't have its faults, escort missions are better than I remember since you can actually give items for your escortees to defend themselves, and most of the time you can just run past the zombies and they'll follow without taking much time. STILL! Escort missions in a zombie apocalypse game, and one that has strict time into it... Let's just say I used to suffer a lot in the past haha
Also, I just love the psychopath human bosses, to this date... It's also what stands this game apart from other zombie apocalypse shooters - Each and every psychopath has a distinct personality and resolve, each one with its own mechanics, and let's not forget the cutscenes when they appear and die which are just... MWAH, chef's kiss.
When it comes to the game, it's close to perfection to me. If only they were a bit more generous with the timed events (or changed it somehow), and escort missions were a bit more convenient...
NOW, when it comes to the PC port. It runs very well on my rig, the quality of the image is paramount and the game runs seemlessly with no appearant lag spikes. Haven't checked but it's probably running steady at 60 fps. My main pet peeve is the pad support for this game, which is completely horrendous, so I had to play with a keyboard... I also can't set fullscreen off for some reason, like... come on devs...

This game is a classic, if you played it on the 360, its definitely worth a re-visit with your new outlook on life. Its a bit buggy at times, but its a 15 year old game. Some of these reviews seem to forget that.

I loved playing this over again back on the xbox 360 so glad i can play this on pc it runs smooth on my pc wish i could play controller the overlays don't really work for me or just don't work at all so that's my only problem with is game the story gameplay and soundtrack all amazing really love the soundtracks for the psychopaths battles made a whole song playlist of them.

Fantastic game. My one gripe is that Case Zero and Case West aren't available on PC. Both are canon and necessary to the narrative of the series (particularly Case West).
DR2 is my favorite in the series.
