Dead Rising 2 Review
__________________

Set five years after the original, Dead Rising 2 paints a bleak picture. The zombie infection has now spread over the whole of the US with zombies occupying large parts of the country and we play as former national motocross champion Chuck Greene. Chuck lost his wife in the original outbreak in Willamette and now is the sole protector of his young daughter Katey. Unfortunately Katey was infected in an attack by her zombie mother and relies on regular doses of the infection suppressant Zombrex.

Thw screenshots posted here gives me the impression that this game is more of a comedy rather than horror........LOL xD

I think the original ended up arriving around the time of Rainbow Six Vegas on 360, I bought both, but sadly DR got neglected over RSV. So I never finished it.

However I think I'll definitely pick up DR2, and might even go for some of that Zombrex action if the price is right.

There is certainly a strong sense of dark humour running through DR2, however it also delivers some tense moments which might have you reaching for the light switch.

Did you encounter any serious slow downs when in open spaces with lots of zombies? I read some random posts people saying that both the 360 and PS3 versions have serious performance issues.
