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.

This would benefit from a proper remaster! Still a fantastic game and even better with a friend to enjoy. I remember playing this back in the day with my cousin countless times. From combining different weapons to trying out different clothes, the fun was endless. They should also finally add the two standalone DLC's Case Zero and Case West.

Most of the negative reviews comes from the lack of controller support. Which nearly made me pass this game but thankfully tried it out due to loving the first one (OG). Chuck is a great dad.

extremely fun, co-op is a lil laggy but the game is old so def worth the playtime. Finished with @Cum_Guzzler6699

Dead Rising 2 was fun, but definitely missing that Frank West addition. I found Green to be a fantastic protagonist as well, however. The comedy is still present from the first, the silliness and over the top zombie slaying. I absolutely love the gifting of the daughter, as I am sure Chuck would be the worst father of the year for one of those gifts in particular. I was anxious to see if she was still there in the security room with each visit back. I guess that was a good kitty after all.
In all, fantastic fun. While not Frank West, still a brilliant sequel to the series.

This game is a perfect sequel in every sense it kept everything that made the first game special and made it 10x better than before. also in my personal opinion i prefer Chuck over Frank but both are still goated protaganists. the story isnt anything too special but thats not the point in a dead rising game. The game is hella fun and probably the most fun zombie game you can ever play. the combo weapons alone kept the game fresh and fun for me and makes me prefer this over dead rising 1 although the Katie zombrex feature annoyed some people i really didnt have a issue with it. and another thing this game has over the first game is the introduction of co op which makes this game so much more fun messing around with a another friend. Overall i really dont have any complains about this game as a whole this is one of my all time fav zombie games and still holds up decently for a game thats 15 years old its a must have game for sure absolutely goated game

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.
