   Yes, it’s repetitive, but yes it is a lot of fun. You go back and forth through the same areas many, many times, but if this were a real zombie invasion and you were trapped in a mall, I guess that’s what would happen.

   It handles almost exactly the same as the first, but having a buddy to play co-op is a blast. If you didn’t like the first one, you won’t like this. But if you like to play through a game with a friend and put on ridiculous costumes and kill thousands of zombies then this is the game for you.

   The game is really fun plain and simple and since this is the first time a dead rising game is on the ps3 it just makes the experience new and refreshing for many people who never got to play the first game. If your into zombies, mindless zombie killing or a big fan of the film “Dawn of the Dead” this game is a definite buy.

   Deadrising 2 is about two things, zombie killing and getting your daughter Zombrex so she doesn’t wig out and turn into a zombie. There are other things thrown in like a game show and rescuing people but the real plot line is about finding out who framed you for letting the zombies loose and getting your daughter zombrex.

   So what is fun about this game? Killing zombies with all the combo weapons you make! You can combine nails with a bat to make a devastating weapon, combine a bucket with power drills, and on and on. Pretty much anything can be used to kill zombies from a beach umbrella, to a protestors sign, to a wheelchair…it’s pretty much almost anything. While the zombie killing is fun sometimes when you are in missions and you don’t have a mode of transportation (car, bike, etc.) it seems to take forever to get to where you need to go and dodging zombies gets a little boring. You can’t just walk and kill all the zombies as that would take a looooong time for you to get where you are going.

   The story is interesting and the game has somewhat of a grand theft auto feel at times as you are going on “missions”. The online multiplayer is actually more fun to me than the single player game. You hook up with three other people to compete on the gameshow in a set of zombie challenges. Sometimes it’s sniping zombies, sometimes it zomboning (crushing zombies on a zamboni then spewing their blood into a target) or it is plowing through zombies using chainsaws on a motorcycle. These games are a blast to play with others and you can cash in your winnings to use the money in the single player game…which can really help. The co-op play is a lot of fun as well since having a partner makes for all kinds of fun zombie slaying.

   The only downsides here are that sometimes the zombie killing or running to destinations can be a little monotinous. The story won’t win any academy awards but it serves it’s purpose. Overall a fun game but not as good as the best PS3 titles that are similar (i.e. uncharted 2, infamous, etc.). If you don’t own an xbox 360 and have never played this game I think it would be a fun purchase for most people. The multiplayer along makes it a blast in my opinion.

   This game is tons of fun..From riding a little bike to smashing a vase on a zombies head..The best weapon I think is the baseball bat and ball,just amusing to see a baseball bounce off 6 zombies. Now the story line is perfect and humor adds to it…The zombie AI is smart enough to piss you off trying to save people..The annoying parts of this game is the loading,it sucks big time..But if you can pass that problem(or back it up with jailbreak for faster loading) you will be fine..I can’t focus on the story and that’s ok first time around since your stats remain after it’s over with multiple endings for everyone..My personal opinion,if you like roaming casinos and malls killing zombies with tons of weapons to choose from this is for you..I bought it just to go on rampages and I am satisfied..

   The loading for this game is annoying. I couldn’t play the game for too long. I got tired after 30 minutes in.
   
   Some might find it enjoyable but I rather spend my money on something else.

   I got this on release day and I haven’t been able to put it down. I am surprised to see such bad ratings peppered throughout the net complaining about this game. It is a game. It should be fun and crazy and challenging. I think somewhere people confused games with simulator games. All these advanced flying, shooting, and driving games came out and now everything has to be as real as possible. And if it’s not, it gets a bad review. Games are supposed to be FUN!!!!

   Pros:
   
   + Very fun game. Lots of big and little stuff to do. Will keep you busy for a long time.
   
   + Better story-line and voice acting than the first game. Holds your interest.
   
   + Well mapped out areas. Seems like an actual place tossed into a video game. Beautiful.
   
   + Weapons are awesome. Finding various items and combining them is a lot of fun.

   Cons:
   
   - Sometimes too many missions at once. The phone keeps ringing, and a ringing phone has to be answered, and then you’ve got 5 missions to do and 30 minutes to do them in.
   
   - With 1,000 zombies on the screen the game lags a little from time to time.
   
   - Controls are a little wonky. I got use to them quick, but at first, he seemed to run too slow and I had a hard time controlling him while running through crowds of zombies.
   
   - There are the same little annoyances as the first one. Like limited life on weapons. But all those annoyances make the game more challenging and seem much less annoying in this sequel.

   All in all this is a very fun game with lots and lots to do. The online option is also a lot of fun, which I didn’t think I would like. The story line keeps you interested and the hundreds of missions will keep you busy. Somehow Dead Rising 2 does not get as repetitive as the first game. I find it very hard to stop playing this game. The original Dead Rising had me throwing the controller against the wall. Dead Rising 2 seems more balanced with story, zombies, attention to game play, weapons, zombies, environment layout, zombies, and control.

   I love this game.

   I never usually review a game before completing it, but I will do it for this title. Why I hear you ask? well it’s simple, really. This game is just too awesome not to talk about! Seriously if you are a fan of Zombie maiming then this is the game for you!

   The premise:
   
   You are Chuck Green contestant on the hit game show Terror Is Reality, where you slay thousands of zombies in a coliseum like setting for huge cash prizes. You are framed for a crime you did not commit, unleashing hordes of the undead upon the hapless residents of Fortune City. Chuck Green has 72 hours to clear his name and keep his infected daughter alive with daily doses of the controversial drug “Zombrex”. The clock is ticking for Chuck Green, will he make it through the worst 72 hours of his life?

   The good:

   - Literally hundreds of “Basic” weapons to maul and maim your undead adversaries. Everything is a weapon!

   - A whole host of upgradeable weapons that cause mucho devastation to those walking bags of rotting flesh.

   - Tongue in cheek story that provides a ton of laughs

   - Sandbox environment, go anywhere, do anything.

   - Many side quests and mini games like Slot machines, Weapon Creation, Drink Mixing and Strip Poker.

   - Graphics are pretty good for the massive amount of Zombies on screen at one time (Over 7,000!)

   - Awesome leveling system the more you kill the better you get at killing!

   - Great Animation, the zombies look and act like real zombies!

   - vehicles. Mow down Zombies with even more efficiency in these motorized death machines.

   - Lots of outfits to choose from, You can dress up as a skater dude or daisy duke, the options are endless!

   - Extreme Gore, Bathe in the blood of your adversaries!

   The Bad:

   - Long Loading times when changing areas

   - A ton of escort missions, not really that bad because the A.I is ok. It just gets old after a while

   - Stuttering graphics/framerate due to the many monsters on screen at once.

   - Timed missions, must complete the missions in a set time or you miss out on the story mode until your next play through.

   - clumsy controls, many times I accidentally took a survivors weapon or had to run around something I wanted to pick up until the icon would appear.

   - Lack of DLC for PS3 users. Xbox 360 is getting all the exclusive stuff right now, pretty disappointing but I am sure that will change with time.

   Conclusion:

   If you love to slay zombies for hours on end then this is the game for you, the carnage you can cause is staggering! (Im talking flying limbs and zombies being cut clean in half). There is so much to see and do but sadly you are rushed through with these silly timed missions. On more than one occasion I would have loved to stay and investigate an area but had to hustle to the next chapter of the story. I understand why this feature was added it does add a sense of urgency to the overall game but it can be pretty irritating and intrusive. Luckily doing these missions are optional, if you miss out on a main story mission the the game “Ends” as in you can no longer participate in the story you can still play out the 72 hours however you like. This I find adds a ton of replayability to an already expensive game, this was a definite day one buy for me and it should be for anyone else who loves zombie slaying action! Add to that the expansive leveling system (There are 50 I beleive) and the online both competative and co-op (Which I have yet to dabble in) and this will be a game that will stay in your system for months to come.

   The timed missions coupled with repetativness loses it one star, this is a game that is carried on one great Idea, kill tons of zombies however you like and it does a hell of a job in that department. 4/5 stars.

   I received this game from Amazon yesterday. Last night my buddy and I were playing this in co-op mode and it is really fun. I have heard all over ther internet about how the xbox version is far superior blah blah blah…..whatever, it’s a great game and it’s great on the PS3 as well. So far I haven’t seen a single issue with this game for the PS3. Don’t let someone’s opinion of what they read from uncle Fred’s obscure website deter you from buying this for the PS3. Form an opinion of your own from actually playing it on the PS3.

   If you love smashing some zombie faces in then you will love this game. The only annoying thing is having to get the Zombrex to your daughter by a certain time but I guess you have to have a story in it too.

   Game is really addicting with way too many things to waste your time on… including zombie slaying. Multiplayer is also pretty well made. The only downside in my opinion is the timed gameplay
