Product Description
-------------------
Several years have passed since the Wilamette incident, and
while Frank West was able to save America from a zombie
apocalypse, the cause of zombification was not completely
contained. This led to continued zombie outbreaks throughout the
United States.Dead Rising 2 shifts the action from the everyday
world of mid-West America to the glitz and glamour of Fortune
City, America’s latest and greatest entertainment playground.
People flock to Fortune City from around the globe to escape from
reality and the chance to win big.The game sees the introduction
of former national Motocross champion, Chuck Greene, as the main
protagonist. Before he hit the big time with a team and
sponsorship behind him Chuck was forced to repair his own bikes,
leaving him incredibly resourceful; a real handyman. A single
her, Chuck dotes on his daughter Katey who, since the loss of
her mother, he will do anything for. With hundreds of zombies on
screen at any one time, the original Dead Rising forced gamers to
turn the everyday objects they found in the Mall into improvised
weapons capable of fending off attacks. Dead Rising 2 promises to
increase the carnage with even more zombies intent on feasting on
human and countless new objects with which Chuck can make
the undead dead.Dead Rising 2 is being developed by Canadian
developer Blue Castle Games in close collaboration with Capcom. A
number of members from the original Dead Rising team will be
working alongside Blue Castle Games throughout the development

equally new motivations to survive and resources to do so. These
resources include new weapons, expanded weapon

functionality. The game also features a 4-player online
multiplayer mode and a dramatic increase in the number of zombies
that can be faced at once.

. Story
The sequel to the million-plus selling Dead Rising, Dead Rising
2 sees the player take on the role of former Motocross champion
Chuck Greene, who has come to Fortune City, America's newest
gambling paradise, to compete in "Terror is Reality," a gruesome
game show that dares contestants to survive zombie-filled
environments for big money prizes at the delight of TV audiences
around the globe. Chuck's motivation for taking part and risking
life and limb is his daughter Katey, who since being bitten by a
zombie requires a daily dose of Zombrex to prevent her from
turning into one of the living dead. There's no denying that
Zombrex works, but since it's the only drug on the market, its
price is high.
During his time in Fortune City a zombie outbreak occurs and
Chuck must survive the onslaught of the undead for .
Pitted against two fearsome threats - tens of thousands of
zombies and the constant countdown of the clock - while
potentially rescuing other survivors of the zombie apocalypse,
players must also unravel the greater conspiracy behind the
outbreak and as importantly find the Zombrex necessary to stop
Katey from joining the ever growing zombie horde. Players will
shoot, stab, carve and drive their way through enemies in order
to beat the clock and survive 72-hours in the darkly comedic, no
holds-barred confines of Fortune City.
Gameplay
Dead Rising 2 delivers more of the signature gameplay that the
series is known for plus a number of new features. Players who
might need some help or simply want to share the zombie bashing
fun with a friend will now be able to play in online 2-player
co-op. Simply use the in-game transceiver to call for assistance
at any time and once your partner has accepted, they will arrive
by your side for double the action.
With hundreds of zombies on screen at any one time, the original
Dead Rising forced gamers to take everyday objects they found in
the mall and use them as weapons. But now, in Dead Rising 2 with
thousands of zombies filling every square inch of Fortune City,
Chuck is going to need to be even more resourceful and inventive
by creating combination weapons to save the day. Players will be
able to take two objects, a roll of tape and with a little
inventiveness create an advanced zombie-killing combo weapon - a
piece of wood and a lawnmower become Portamower, the handheld
mower that cuts zombies down to size in an instant; while a
garden rake and car battery combine to create an electrified
zombie prod. The more combo weapons a player uses, the more
Prestige Points (PPS) they will gain along the way in order to
level up Chuck.
