I'm pretty sure i don't like this as much as the first one, but its just by a little. It is way better mechanically and fixes a lot of Dead Rising 1's bull shit. Some of that bull shit still works for Dead Rising 1, but its still good they did it. The story definitely lacks from DR1, one had a a real cinematic quality to stuff, DR2 is just like acceptable. Chuck is cool, not as cool as frank, but still a cool guy.
Also I find it weird everyone is just mean towards Chuck. Like all the girls make uncalled for sexual innuendos and a couple of guys are just SUPER mean, like a lot more than DR1. Like i don't remember anything like that in 1, but dr2 it just starts off with that one dude going "haha your wife DIED, loser" and its kind weird to me.
