This review should be one simple sentence: Capcom and zombies go together like bread and butter, so if anyone can successfully deliver a zombie game it’s them. End of review…
… That being said, Capcom’s time management, zombie kill-fest, Dead Rising is the Marmite of video games. You either adapted to its strange ways and loved every minute of it or the flaws, difficulty and perhaps your misunderstanding of it made you switch it off after your first death, or first boss encounter, or possibly both in the same instance. Blue Castle Games has taken over the development duties for Dead Rising 2, but nonetheless this is Capcom’s game, and Dead Rising 2 offers more of the same but with plenty of improvements, becoming a far more accessible game for the haters. If you’re willing to get through the challenging early stages and give the game the chance it deserves, you’ll find a very rewarding and satisfying experience.
The Dead Rising series has enjoyed a long and storied history over the years, but which game in the series is best?
Over the last week, Jake has been going back to the Dead Rising 2 Off The Record remaster and has been an absolute blast. When he was 15 he first got his Xbox 360 and Dead Rising with it, it was unlike any other experience. It made him wonder though, what happened to the Dead Rising series.
Interesting timing. This retrospective was released just a few days ago: https://youtu.be/Et-cKSrWuc...
Ah no, I just felt like writing it as I started playing the game again and wanted to offer up my opinions 😁
Seems like there was just a ton of infighting aswell and so many more issues. Honestly sadly Dead Rising 5 before it was cancelled sounded nothing like dead rising, nothing learnt from. Dr4 at all.
They're a solid channel. I always click on their vids, unless it's a series/game I simply have no interest in.
They took away the depth and charm of the game that made it fun and interesting, and made it into a generic zombie killing game.
This was the series the got me to buy an Xbox 360. The first one was so good. It still had horror elements. As it went on it became kind of a parody. Never forget getting Zombie Genecider achievement and then restarting the game to get the Mega Buster. That thing was monstrous against enemies.
Some video game weapons are so outlandish they could never realistically be used, and that's why they're on our list of the 10 most impractical weapons in gaming.
Dead Rising 2 turns out exacly like Lost Planet 2...its just more of the same but worse.
in about 3 months this will be half the price.
@Gago its already out
Can't wait. Loved Dead Rising and Dead Rising case 0.
isn't that the case with most games with pointless sequels?
Not bad.
Sounds like this is a game which fans of the original one will love, but one which won't win over the people who didn't like the first one.
