"A Must-Get."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Dead rising 2 is not rubbish. Its replayability is excellent not only because there are multiple endings to achieve and unlimited number of zombies to kill but also due to the fact that there are mods and trainers out there to spice up the game.

I have recently downloaded a mod which gives you unlimited ammo and forever durability on some weapons. The mod also allows me to carry multiple freedom bears at once. So what I do is I set out 4 freedombear as sentry guns and have 8 followers with machine guns and sniper rifles and do the endless slaughter. Blood everywhere :)

The initial patch takes about 10 minutes max. No trouble for me at all. Oh except for the User control thing that restricted me from installing the game at the beginning. I just needed to disable it during the installation.

Great game. Get it. My favourite weapon is slege hammer. Love the sounds it makes when it comes into contact with zombie flesh :)

"Blue Castle pulled it off"
5 stars"

At first I wasn't really sure about this game, as it was developed by a company that's only noteable title's are baseball games. But I was pleasantly surprised, Alot of the faulty AI in the first game has been polished off, now the survivors actually pose some use and can pathfind very well. The game's replay value is immense with 6 different endings that cater to whatever playstyle you pick. The timelimit can come as a flaw to some but with the ability to restart on a whim with all your previous bonuses it eliminates difficulty for those struggling, and allows you to continue rampaging without any real cost. Some complain that the time limit hinders the freeroam aspect, however taking into account you don't “need” to follow the storyline they give you an adequate amount of time to screw around. The only real gripe I have with this game is how they have setup the online, with no set server list, waiting for people to join your game can be tiresome. Other than that this is a really good game, with incredibly fun and well made co-op and single player elements. Would definetly recommend.

"Blood & guts & fun!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a fun 3rd person splatter fest with extra points for the sheer number of zombies as well as the great variety of weapons and combo weapons (that you make) to choose from. Its not deep or meaningful – its simply fun. It is also good practice for real life, as we all know that a zombie apocalypse is pretty well inevitable!

"Great Zombie Killing Fun"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you like killing zombies in all ways, this is the game for you. There seem to be endless amounts of zombies, so you can have the enjoyment of bashing their heads in. Within the game there are a few little surprises in the way of weaponry, as you get to combine items to make weapon cards ( which are the blueprint for the weapon) there are seven main cards you can create. Overall well worth the time and money investing in this game.

""Mindless" Fun"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For those that have played the original Dead Rising on xbox360 the whole feel of the game is exaclty the same. It's great to finally have it across all platforms. Endless amusement with the amount of weapon combos you can create to fight your way through endless zombies… Love the fact that you can co-op.. Only thing I ho hum about it is just a go from A to B hack n slash which is typical for these types of games.. Still it's great for those who wants to waste a few hours, I think it's just one of those classic games you need to have on your shelf

"Ok at first "
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game was very fun at the start of the game finding all the weapons you can use and make. But when that is all done there is very little replay value to this game.

"Not the best, but still fun."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's a pretty good game. The gameplay is fun, some of the stuff you can build is epic, and I love co-op games. The save system is terrible though, and all the missions have timers on them.

"Utterly un-workable on pc"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Rubbish. Needs a lot of patching cant even manage to play thru the first level with a win 7 + core quad and a GTX460 + 4GB ram.
