The entire reason I got an Xbox 360 was because I wanted to play Dead Rising.  I love zombie movies and figured I’d love that game.  But it sucked.  All I wanted to do was run around and kill zombies.  Too bad our ADD-generation couldn’t be entertained by that simple premise.  Instead, I had to try and deal with some sniper guy, some prisoners in a military jeep, and try and rescue people from around a mall…  it sucked, sucked SUCKED.  I get angry every time I think about that game, and I can only hope the developers of this game don’t screw it up like the developers of the last one did…

In Dead Rising 2, players will once again slaughter their way through thousands upon thousands of the living dead, using a plethora of weapons to butcher them. This time, however, instead of battling zombies in a shopping mall like the original Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 takes place in a Las Vegas-inspired city loaded with casinos and flesh-eating blackjack dealers and zombified showgirls (check out the HD screens for proof of these two zombie types). Some other zombies we’ve spotted in the new screens just released are construction workers, ladies dressed up for clubbing, and police officers.

Providing the player with hundreds of weapons was a big part of the original game. In the new screens, Dead Rising 2′s protagonist can be seen wielding a baseball bat, a giant-display cell phone, and an electric guitar.
