Good time replaying this
Veteran tips for newcomers:
1. Do a f*** it playthough on your first run (purposely fail). Way easier to complete the story with the leveled up stat boosts and knowing the map layout.
2. Multiplayer is pretty much dead. So in order to get the big money you were supposed to get from online matches, get the gamble magazines and go hit a bunch of slot machines
3. Explore. There are a LOT of secrets. The game will show you some. But not all of them
And remember kids.... It always needs a bit more buttah

Dead Rising 2 is like its predecessor with a lot of new features. Fans of the first game will like the second quite a bit and can consider it a must have.

So this one although it is a positive does have some negative that I believe is important to point out for anyone deciding to purchase this game there is some info that is otherwise false or misrepresented on the games steam store page. There was an update known as the legacy update that broke multiple things in this game and has even created instability issues on some systems to the point of where it is unplayable. On top of that TIR is not playable in the traditional sense and you must jump through hoops to even get an actual lobby going and that doesn't even get started on the random crashing. Although the store says it has controller/partial support the legacy update has removed it therefore if you wish to play with a controller consult the guides under the game to fix this and it isn't difficult to do so. If you are buying this game for multiplayer it is important that you play under 2 hours with whomever you choose to play the game with to make sure it runs ok for a bit so that your not stuck with a broken game and be unable to refund it if you have no intention of playing it solo. This game is much like it's predecessor in the way of slaughtering zombies in a mall setting although with a bit more room this time while simultaneously rescuing people to and fro from one end of this place to the other. The A.I. of the people you rescue in this one FAR better than the original Dead Rising and won't have to coddle and baby them but maybe heal them from time to time. Combat has taken a twist as combo cards were introduced wich means you can combine certain weapons together in order to make wicked killing combinations that allow you to do even more damage then ever before. The Psychos in this one aren't nearly as realistic or even have good designs in terms of looks or attack patterns albeit a few exceptions compared to Dead Rising 1 but you will find them more challenging to take down. Story is ok but not great but at least Chuck Greene is a much better protagonist than Frank West in terms of looks, demeanor, and dialogue by a fair margin. For the achievement hunters out there it is very possible to get all the cheevs in this game but IT TAKES WORK AND COORDINATION with at least yourself and 3 other people with the same goal. I was blessed to find people from all different time-zones and we still made it work simply because we all wanted it that bad. The visuals do not look as good as the originals wich I found surprising for a game that was made 4 years after. This game as a solo experience is alot of fun and even has plenty of replay value just not as a multiplayer game as it will never be fixed because well....it's CRAPCOM were dealing with here. They stopped caring long ago. Get on a heavy discount and even recommend the DLC as the outfits actually boost your character as well as change there looks.
