Dead Rising 2

Zombies have invaded once again. It's been years since the release of the groundbreaking game, Dead Rising, and zombies have become once again a part of the mainstream pop culture. With the release of the groundbreaking television show, The Walking Dead, zombies are on everybody's minds right now. And with that, it is no wonder that fans were so excited for the release of Dead Rising 2.
Taking place five years after the release of the first game, the plot follows motocross champion Chuck Greene, who has traveled to the resort city of Fortune City in Nevada to compete in the game show "Terror is Reality". He has taken part in this show in order to win the money necessary to get the drug Zombrex, which his daughter Katey needs in order to prevent her from becoming a zombie. After the show ends, Chuck emerges from an elevator to find the city overrun by a zombie outbreak. Taking his daughter, they run to the safety of a shelter. From there, Chuck has three days to uncover the mystery of the outbreak, which he has been set up for causing, while hunting down the real perpetrators, saving the survivors of the outbreak, and getting his daughter the medication necessary to keep her alive.
The gameplay is much faster and crisper than the original game, and the story and its characters are much more likable and allow the player to really delve into the plot. The addition of combo weapons, in which the player can combine any two items to create a new weapon, really adds to the fun that is Dead Rising 2. Another great feature is the multiplayer aspect, a first for the series, and story related. The multiplayer allows players to enter the game show "Terror is Reality", competing in dozens of new game modes to kill as many zombies as possible. Another great feature is that whatever money you earn in multiplayer, you get to keep in the single player story. I must give this game a 10 out of 10, for the developers truly made this game fun, intriguing, and action packed, all the way to the end.
