I've played this game ever since mid-2013 when i pirated it (because ♥♥♥♥ GFWL) and i still enjoy it.

Pros
+Gameplay is fun (though pretty challenging when you start out)
+Graphics are great, but not really phenomenal like how DR1 was at it's time
+Lots of zombies on screen with minimal framerate drops (unless you're playing on a toaster PC)
+Psychopaths are unique and pretty hard to beat (the texan snipers can go take a hike though(♥♥♥♥ing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s with their cheap shots))
+Weapon combinations are fun and sometimes hilarious and in rare cases, essential especially when it comes to the Knife Gloves for psychopaths

Neutral
+- you usually need to replay the game a few times with your level and stats carried over between each playthough (it's worth it, though)
+- No Frank West (Off the Record fixed this, though (Case West doesn't count because it's an Xbox 360 exclusive))

Cons
-The part where the green gas comes in might make you rage quit if you're trying to beat the game for the first time at around level 20-30 especially if you're doing the whole game perfectly with no side quests missed or failed
-Co-Op multi with randoms is dead
-doesn't have the 2 Xbox 360 exclusive Standalone DLCs (like Case Zero and the afromentioned Case West)

Overall score: 8.5/10
The game is pretty enjoyable, especially with friends.

Very good and underrated game (thanks to Microsoft Games for Windows Live). Capcom made good job moving this game to Steamworks (I bought this game in box only to use GFWL CD-Key to activate game on Steam, original DVD I have scratched with knife and thrown away, DVD is useless for Steam version). This is very good game about zombie plague with RPG elements and side quests. Game is not scary if you looking for game with horror atmosphere but is fun to play anyway. In this game you saving survivors from zombies and fight with strong psychos. Good thing is also you can combine weapons with really funny effects and you have additional experience for it. I could recommend this game for those people who were disappointed with IHMO highly overrated Left 4 Dead 2 and other people who like games with horde of zombies with co-op mode.

Dead Rising 2 is a good sequel to the original game. Your goal is to fight off zombies and save people. Sometimes you'll have to do missions for them, sometimes you'll have to fight bosses to save them. It's a great hack and slash survival game with a lot of cool elements tied into it.
I've played this game a lot on PC and Console, as well as DR3, and if you don't have DR3, I'd buy that before considering DR2. But if you don't have the cash for DR3 or already own it, this game is a lot of fun.

The graphics are getting old, but the gameplay is still extremely fun today. I highly recommend to play this game with a friend, as the whole story mode is available in co-op.

If you're gonna be an obstructing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, don't bother commenting. I'll just delete your comment, as it has no correlation to the review.


As I logged into Steam, there was an update. An update for a specific game, Dead Rising 2.
I clicked on the game in my library, having several questions. It was a surprise, given that they seemed to have abandoned it. And there, in the cold, dead, newsfeed, was a fresh one. A new article had come out on that day. An article announcing...
GFWL was finally wiped off of the face of Dead Rising 2.
As this news was bestowed upon me, I stopped. Looking away from my monitor and into the distant, purple sky.
" It's over. " I softly whispered. " It's finally over. "
