GameShark: Dead Rising 2 covered the story of Chuck Green, a hard working single dad trying to save his daughter from a zombie apocalypse. He’s a pretty good guy. Then there’s Frank West. If we were casting for a movie about the Dead Rising games, Chuck Green might be played by Robert Downey while Frank West is more of the Morton Downey variety of junior. That’s what makes Frank awesome. After breaking the big story of Willamette, Frank became a media darling. He had his own successful show and all the money and fame a guy could want. Then he threw it all away with excess and scandal. When you start Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Frank is a contestant on Terror is Reality, a zombie killing game show. Shortly after the show, all hell breaks loose and the game begins in earnest.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Dead Rising 2: Off the Record might be my favorite release in the series as it took a solid entry, threw the heroic Frank West in and brought us the legendary Sandbox mode."
Carlos Writes "With Dead Rising 4 now out the door, and our playthrough finalised, we decided to take a look to see how it stacks up with the rest of the series entries. So here we are...ranking the full Dead Rising series from god damn worst, right up to the best zombie bashing offering that we've ever seen."
I played the first, and I bought #4. Other than that, strangely haven't played any of the others. I'll get round to it one day though I guess.
