It's Dead Rising 2 but you play as a caricature of Frank West instead of an actually interesting character. PS4 port is pretty ass: it crashed on me twice, the blood decals don't work properly, there were some really weird bugs with collision and items, and about halfway through the game all of Frank's audio cues were only coming out of the left speaker channel. I'm not sure if that's worse than the PC port that doesn't have proper controller support on Windows 10 for no reason, but it's worth noting.

I reached the end of the game with a friend and we got stuck in an infinite loading screen. Reloaded the game and it consistently happened. Looked up how to fix it and saw we had to edit a .ini file. The file wasn’t anywhere in the games files because it updated. My save then got corrupted and lost my level 45 character.

Just buy the original version of Dead Rising 2, the new additions aren’t worth a slight remix.

Even though it's unneccesary this game is still just as much of a blast as the original. Frank's moveset works so well in Fortune City, the map extension was amazing and Sandbox mode is PERFECT for a game like Dead Rising. AI somehow sucked though.


in case you really hate chuck for some reason

É o 2 so que com uma área nova no shopping com piadinha de cool

Good game, tho the checkpoints cheapen it a little and I see minor flanderization with Frank, outside of that pretty fun what if

Tho some of the things in this definately felt like it led up to DR4

"They call me the King of Cuisine.."

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a Director's Cut to the original DR2 and a fun take on a "What-If?" scenario where the original Willamette Mall hero, Frank West, replaces Chuck Greene throughout the entirety of Dead Rising 2. The game follows the original plot a bit weirdly, as Capcom Vancouver did their best to adapt the story to Frank West, without changing enough elements (except towards the end), leading to some odd and confusing moments, especially with some of the Psychopath's motives to be hostile towards Frank. The Psychopaths themselves are great though, especially in Off the Record. The solid gameplay definitely makes up for it's story, especially with the addition of Sandbox Mode. Fortune City itself is also a great location, with plenty to do and kill zombies with. Off the Record is definitely worth checking out, especially if you enjoyed the original Dead Rising.

Everything after this game is complete donkey shit please don't play it. :(

Bought to play it with a friend. It just like... didn't work??

Possibly the very best of Dead Rising. It fixes whatever gameplay issues vanilla DR2 had, the return of Frank West who has a very awesome and aged up redesign, more combo weapons and some new bosses thrown in. Did you like DR2 but said "man, i REALLY wish i was playing as Frank West right now"? This is the game for you
