Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
16 hours ago
Bright lights. Big cash. Sub-machineguns strapped to teddy bears. Fortune City has it all. It's only when Chuck Greene tears up the town in Dead Rising 2 where it comes to be of any use. Trapped in a zombie infested city for three days, Chuck is a kid in a candy store with a vast array of vicious weapons and bras to try on. When the end of the world is in sight, Dead Rising 2 shows us that with a chainsaw in hand, it always pays to be somewhat positive. But is the games slapstick approach a pill that's too hard to swallow?
Despite the best efforts to eliminate the zombie outbreak in the previous game, Dead Rising 2 lands us straight into another undead hell; Fortune City. Though practically acting as a Lidl based version of Las Vegas, it's managed to build a community full of joy upon the foundations of rotting flesh thanks to 'Terror Is Reality', a new breed of reality gameshow where killing hordes means hordes of cash. With his daughter Katey desperately in need of a drug named 'Zombrex' that'll keep her from becoming one of the hungry gnashers, Chuck Greene enters the competition in hopes that he can win and pay for the highly expensive and controversial medicine.
