I played this game alot on Xbox 360, and had lots of fun after I heard the remake of the first game, I was craving to play dead rising again, I was gonna replay dead rising 1 again but I kinda already beat before on ps4 maybe one day I'll replay it, but I started to remember about dead rising 2 I played this game so much years ago I wanted to revisit this game and so far it this game aged like fine wine, love the combo cards system in the game and the location is amazing, Chuck Greene this badass dude protecting his daughter its a great game I highly recommend this game of course get the original too its great, I might even check out dead rising 3 cause I never got the chance to play that game, but don't play dead rising 4 its bad I mean really bad unless your curious how the series went dead for awhile lol etiher way give this series a try its worth it!
