Dead Rising 2 shifts the action from the everyday world of mid-West America introduced in Dead Rising, to the glitz and glamour of Fortune City, America’s latest and greatest entertainment playground. People flock to Fortune City from around the globe to escape from reality and the chance to win big.
The original Dead Rising allowed gamers to turn everyday objects they found in a Mall into improvised weapons capable of fending off attacks from hundreds of zombies on screen at any one time. Dead Rising 2 promises to increase the carnage as players can combine found objects to create unique and powerful weapons which will make the undead dead.
Cooperative game play allows two players to team up at any time to massacre the hordes of zombies they encounter. Dead Rising 2 also allows players to experience the carnage of Terror is Reality with a series of multi-player challenges for up to four players via online play.
