    What's the point of spending time rescuing survivors when they'll all die if you don't follow the main story? This game is a lot more restrictive than the original.

    An extremely funny and creative zombie action game that is made even better with its co-op feature. It has a pretty bland and dull story, but it has some of the most fun game-play in a zombie game.

    Maybe it's because I'm play the PS5 buddies game crash 4, The game is solid, I think the craftable items take away the game feels you have a want to use all the weapons, but now you just want to use the craftable items because you get pp points out of them. And I really enjoy that you have to find medicine for your daughter all around the game and there's always this fear of not gettingMaybe it's because I'm play the PS5 buddies game crash 4, The game is solid, I think the craftable items take away the game feels you have a want to use all the weapons, but now you just want to use the craftable items because you get pp points out of them.

But I can really feel that the original team from Dead Rising 1 are not in des... dead rising 2 is a Canadian team I think it's still good but oh my god, the first one is legendary. Here is the weird thing this game is much more smooth and has better gamefeel den Dead Rising 1, but it's a bad thing because it makes more scary that you have clunky controls. the first one is just more satisfying… Expand

    One of my favourite games ever, now on Playstation 4 with a stable framerate and graphical improvements. I do prefer Off The Record, but the original Dead Rising 2 is a classic. If you're gonna play this game, play it on the PS4.

    Dead Rising 2 : PS4 crash paranoia edition.

    First of all the good parts, 60fps, very smooth, very nice to have the best Dead Rising game, updated and rereleased on PS4 from the PS3. However it's almost ruined by crashes randomly almost all of the time. Online connectivity is worse, increasing the number of crashes.

This game never crashed, not once on PS3, thumbs down to Capcom for not patching or fixing this rushed release. Online TIR is dead so why have trophies for those so long after the game's release. At the very least Capcom could have implemented bots. This isn't a must avoid game, far from it, II love it so much that I bought it knowing it was buggy, I was willing to put up with all the port issues with it. Sadly I can't give it a high review because of all these issues. The game will crash if you throw a Hail mary into a crowded area of casino gambling machines, this also happens on PS4 version of DR2 OTR as well.

    However, if you're going to buy this game, just make sure you save very often, and prepare for the inevitable crashes that will inevitably happen. Frustratingly it always seems to happen for me when you're just about to save after mowing over thousands of zombies going for the high kill count trophies...    … Expand

    This game is fun. There are several ways to kill the zombies, but there's nothing very special about it, the story is mediocre, the graphics are OK, but still, a worth to play, very enjoyable to sit and play for some hours,

    Dead Rising 2 isn't as good as the first game but its still a good game, with the inclusion of combo weapons and more clothing items makes it a ton of fun just like the first game, but gone is the camera from the first game which was disappointing. The characters in this game aren't as interesting as the first game either which is why i find this game a tad disappointing but overall DeadDead Rising 2 isn't as good as the first game but its still a good game, with the inclusion of combo weapons and more clothing items makes it a ton of fun just like the first game, but gone is the camera from the first game which was disappointing.

    Es simplemente increíble, la jugabilidad del juego prácticamente me hace darle la nota. No tiene la historia mejor elaborada del mundo, pero no quita que con la rejugabilidad y todo hagan una maravilla de juego. entretenimiento puro.

    running around killing zombies has never been more fun in a game. super fun level design although half the map is totally useless. fun weapons and crafting combinations. missions are fun and interesting, but some of the boss battles are poorly designed and unnecessarily difficult for a zombie game

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Dead Rising 2 still feels like such a great improvement over the original and with this remastered version, most of the technical issues from the past console versions have been fixed.

    Waiting for the fourth installment of the series, Capcom is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Dead Rising with a remastered version of the three adventures of Frank West and Chuck Greene. The renovation work does nothing but conform to today's standards, presenting the three episodes in high definition with a frame rate set to 60 fps.

    Overall it’s well worth revisiting Fortune City on your PS4.
