    This product is a full priced DLC with very little new content. A new character, a new building, few new weapons and zombie models, and a not too interesting photo feature. The story is the same, the missions are the same, most of the content are the same as the base Dead Rising 2.

    This is one of the most annoying Zombie games I have ever played. The character, Frank, has one speed only--sluggish. The weapons are confusing and hard to manage. I believe the developers tried to put in too many things in one place; e.g., while you are fighting zombies you can accidentally pick up a random piece of furniture while at the same time open a nearby door.

Relying on the E key for several tasks may be convenient, but it is also frustrating. It may just be me, but I intend to avoid all of the games in this franchise. Expand

    This game is a huge joke if you played the original Dead Rising 2 first... Because it is a simple copy of it, simply adding the possibility to take blurry photos in-game Same story, same cutscenes, etc. Just buy it if you did not play and/or buy the original Dead Rising 2.

    The features of DR2:OTR would have been welcome in a DLC priced at 10 euros, but are unacceptable for a standalone product, despite the somewhat lowered price. [February 2012]

    Almost identical copy of the original game comes with too little extras to attract veterans of Dead Rising. Only suitable for newcomers who skipped the previous games. [Dec 2011]

    Even if the new features had been awesome, this would have been a pointless re-release. [Jan 2012, p.810]
