Forums - Gaming - IGN Reviews DEAD RISING 2 "Dead Rising 2 Is Good Very Good In Fact"

BHR-3 on 23 September 2010

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/112/1123065p1.html

7 Presentation
The loads could be shorter as they happen every time you change areas, but for the most part everything’s the way you remember it with looking at your watch, the onscreen arrow and so on.
7 Graphics
The zombies look good and the amount of clothing options are cool, but the blood can look flat, there are the framerate issues and stiff characters.

7.5 Sound
Some of the voices are awkward and forced, but the groans of the undead, weapon noises and the cheery mall music mingle together well.

8.5 Gameplay
It’s what people loved the first time around (bashing zombie with everyday junk while saving survivors) except it’s a bit more balanced -- plus you can combine weapons for max radness.

8.5 Lasting Appeal
This is a game that demands to be played over and over again so that you can see the different endings, find all the secrets, max out your level and so much more.

A few reviews have came in and it looks like it will be a great game, thought it would of failed meaning score way less than the 1st one

I'm happy that it's getting positive reviews, but a game like Dead Rising having "framerate issues" can't be good...

And Keiji Inafume wants this to be Capcom's biggest franchise, bigger even than Resident Evil. That man sure is on a downward spiral to oblivion.

what makes you say that ? Because it's not the best looking game ?

No. I just think that framerate issues would really hurt a game where there is so much going on at once on screen. I mean, can you imagine weaving through the hordes of zombies only to be disoriented by framerate drops? I hope it turns out to be minor.

It has really lost the appeal of part 1. The main protagonist was more likeable in part 1 and the "OMG look at all these zombies !!!!" cool factor is gone. The bossess are even more annoying , and with real stragety to beat them, than the first game which makes DR2 obnoxious . The loading times are horrendous.

I used to love capcom but after lost planet 2 (another atrocity) and DR2 i am beginning to change my mind.

I'll buy this game,but not right away. Game doesn't look like the best looking game in the world,but it looks fun though.
