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

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

This review contains spoilers
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is an open-world zombie sandbox game developed by the defunct Capcom Vancouver as a sort of expansion pack/game remix of the original Dead Rising 2. What does this mean? It’s largely the same game as Dead Rising 2 but with more content (new combo weapons, a new area in Fortune City, two new psychopaths, etc) and a returning protagonist: Frank West from the first game. To sum up: it’s just more Dead Rising 2 except for certain changes (as it is considered a non canon spin-off) so I need to write up a review for the previous game here soon. But what I can tell you is that this is my second favorite Dead Rising game next to the original. It took me a while to pick this up but I finally did when a friend bought me the game (shoutout to Whodunit) a while back and I haven’t been able to try it until I played it coop with a buddy. Here’s my experience with the PC port of the game:
The gameplay remains mostly unchanged from Dead Rising 2; you’ll still be able to kill zombies in the strange ways, create combo weapons out of parts to annihilate the undead in unrealistic ways, rescue survivors and fight psychopaths who’ve gone insane from the outbreak in Fortune City while following cases and figuring out who/what is behind the current outbreak, often against a time limit. However a lot of stuff is again remixed, with certain survivors showing up in different areas than before with new requests before joining, or not showing up at all and replaced with all new survivors. Psychopaths are maneuvered around too with two new ones added and the new area is named Uranus Zone, an amusement park with an alien theme that adds a lot of new flavor, from being able to activate rides to kill zombies, driving a clown car (can hold 8 survivors), new weapons, etc. Any Zombrex you need to get as part of a timer you also thankfully don’t have to bring back to your daughter in the safe house and instead can be used to inject yourself on the go as Frank got infected after the first game. Of course Frank’s most noted feature, taking pictures, is back as well as the numerous ways you can get PP points by taking really good photos. To me this is Dead Rising 2, but way better; though there are caveats to this. Play the console ports and compare it with the PC port, it’s a bit of a fucking mess. Capcom is beloved for its quality, yes, and I understand that a now defunct studio developed this game, but the port was released in a mixed state. It’s playable front to back but my experience has been marred with glitches ranging from harmless (zombies merging into solid background elements such as casino tables), to rage levels of frustration. Some of these moments include random disconnects from online coop, with one point where me and my coop partner couldn’t connect at all and had to reload from a previous save that was thirty minutes before, losing progress. Other times my partner would reload a save and it would remove me, but still say that he was in my game and running towards a wall or standing still, requiring another invite to get back into his game. Other things I loathed were the facts that Capcom couldn’t even be arsed to make the DLC costumes in the store functioning, so they just decided to remove the ability to buy them from the store entirely while the console versions worked fine (which is sad, just fix your damn DLC or pay someone to do it). Speaking of the consoles, I’m sorry but if you have a game that was on consoles first then do me a favor, add decent (or any) controller support. Dead Rising 1 and 3 had it so I’m not sure why they skipped 2 and Off the Record. What I had to use was Controller Companion, a dope app that I used to fix up the controls for Curse: The Eye of Isis and will continue to use for other games that either won’t have them at all or will barely work.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=493967497&searchtext=Dead+Rising (Downloads for the companion workshop, if it doesn’t work I’ll add in my own link later)
Because of this, there were numerous times where I got pissed off, which makes me sad because this game is great. Besides the point though, I’m also easy to annoy with tech stuff so if you don’t mind all that it works fine otherwise. I also don’t remember this game being more difficult than the second one but I haven’t played since the 360 days so I’m probably just a scrub. Also to finish the gameplay section off, they have a Sandbox Mode that has progress transfers into the story mode so you can grind levels and get money to use in the campaign, and it’s basically an infinite free mode as well as an improvement from what they offered in the first Dead Rising. Not being able to have a sandbox mode and instead a masochist 7 Day mode where your health is always falling isn’t fun so I’m glad they just added sandbox, with all the time in the world.
The plot is largely the same as well but remixed; this time you return to the series as Frank West for the first time since the original Dead Rising and the DLC for the second, Case West. Since the first game, Frank has become a star for his deeds in exposing the outbreak in Willamette and after a couple of years he’s become washed up and in need of some extra cash to get by. In comes TK, host of game show Terror Is Reality and you get paid to kill zombies on camera. You’ll go through a tutorial where you photograph Brandon, the optional CURE psycho in the DR2, take money from TK to plant a bomb near a zombie cage and start the outbreak. You’ll still meet up with Rebecca to find leads, and follow the trail to find out TK was behind the outbreak, learning that Phenotrans (a pharmaceutical co.) was behind the incident because they needed to collect more queens for their zombie drug, Zombrex, what you’ve been needing to take to survive. However things have changed, arguably for the better. The mole is now Stacey, the head of CURE who helped Chuck and now Frank, as a Phenotrans double agent instead of Sullivan, who is just some security guard in the second game. You also get to fight her in a kind of difficult boss fight at the end of the game…piloting a giant mech crab. After you beat her much is the same, except you rescue Rebecca Chang from TK during overtime if you follow all the main story cases. To me it makes more sense for the double agent to be Stacey due to her position in CURE as the leader and the company’s need to set CURE up to be framed to be a patsy, it just fits. I also loved Frank West as the protagonist in the first DR, so having more Frank with all the dad jokes just makes me love it even more (which is made even better due to Frank now being allowed to speak certain dialogue in game, instead of just text). To finish new changes, they replaced Leon (the motorcycle psycho) from DR2 with Chuck in a homage that makes a lot of sense in the new context (with it being even more weird if you have a coop player, because they’re playing as Chuck with all of his moves, essentially fighting himself which a reference is made via in game dialogue) as well as a psycho with Evan, a smaller clown on stilts who coincidentally turns out to be the brother of one of the most infamous bosses in Dead Rising, Adam the Clown. Knowing who you are, he doesn’t like you and will try to stomp with his goofy stilts. Overall, the game’s plot feels better than the second one; mainly due to the twists making more sense and a protagonist who doesn’t feel boring.
So finally the answer to the question: is it worth buying? Yes, but with caveats. A lot of it is the same game as Dead Rising 2, so it’ll be repetitive and for the most part unchanged from the base game; so my advice: either get this on sale or just get this instead of Dead Rising 2. It’s not an overhaul, just a slightly improved version of the second game but for what it is honestly I can’t complain.

Replayed for the gazillionth time.
Both Dead Rising 2's are some of my favorite games of all time. Dead Rising revolutionized the zombie genre in gaming by taking heavy inspiration from Dawn of the Dead, and fully embracing the insane degrees that they can take its own concept. I prefer this version of Dead Rising 2 as, as much as I love Chuck, Frank West is just THE protagonist of Dead Rising. He so perfectly matches the tone and feel of Dead Rising whereas Chuck feels somewhat out of place in comparison. Dead Rising 2 is one of those games that i can literally boot up at any point and play through just because of how perfect everything is. The satisfying feel of slaying hundreds of zombies, the insane feeling you get when successfully escorting a group of half dozen survivors, the mystery of who the next psychopath will be, and lest we forget one of the best soundtracks in all of video games. This certainly wasn't my first time beating Dead Rising 2, and it certainly won't be my last.

Peak Dead Rising Co-op Fun
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a non-canon alternate universe, what if scenario for if Frank West was in Fortune City from the beginning of the game instead of just showing up late like in Case West. In this wacky alternate universe, we play the same Dead Rising 2 but with new areas, new survivors and psychos and a new alternate twist to the story.
Gameplay: Off the Record obviously plays very much like regular DR2 and with some new changes and additions to the gameplay. Dr2 is a 3rd person open world, Semi-RPG adventure, comedy, horror game with a mixed gameplay of hack and slash, beat em’ up and shooting. A game where anything and everything is a weapon and since Dead Rising 2, we can now create combo weapons by combining other weapons to make something new. In this version we see a bunch of all new items, outfits and cloths along with new weapons, combo weapons and some things and assets from Case West. The whole idea of everything being timed and saving survivors, killing psychos and solving the main story is all still present but made with some improvements to the AI and now aside from manually saving you can load a check point at the beginning of a room or loading screen which makes for escorting survivors so much easier. A new area that was added to the game was Uranus Zone, a space themed park that came to town. I do like Uranus Zone, but I do wish it was used more in the side quests. You do go here for one of the final missions and a couple NPCs are in here but aside from that I feel like it’s underutilized. I was expecting a weird space themed psycho mission in here or something cool like that but it’s mostly for free roaming. The combat and controls are all the more improved in this game, making it an even smoother experience especially with the return of the camera mechanic Frank had in DR1. Instead of having a clone of yourself as a Co-op partner Chuck is the co-op partner in this game similar to Case West which was a lot of fun having them together in Co-op. There is no TIR multiplayer in this game though which wasn’t a huge deal to me since I felt it was a hit or miss anyways but the sandbox mode saw a return here and much better than it was in DR1 allowing you to actually save so the overall experience was much better. Sandbox mode also has a bunch of challenge on both solo and Co-op mode giving you a bunch of replay value and things to do if you wanna go for gold on all of those. The launch version of this game also got a cheats DLC that gives you things like over sized heads and weapons along with other mod like controls which were a lot of fun, but the digital only rerelease/ remaster of this game does not have that DLC for some reason which is a huge let down for me.
Graphics, Voice Acting, Music: Graphically this game looks very similar to DR2 with not a whole lot of improvement, but it still looks visually good overall. I had a few graphical errors and a really wacky glitch happen where a still image of Stacy appeared on the entire slot machines as a texture when I broke them one time when I was playing (never seen a glitch like that before) and a few cutscene glitches where it played the ending cutscene over the first one at the same time. aside from crazy stuff like that the game did crash on me a few times too. The voice acting is still just as good as regular 2 with some great performances from the main cast with many funny moments. The music in this game is mostly the same as regular DR2 with a few new additions for the new area and new bosses all of which was pretty darn good.
Story/ Minor spoilers: Off the Record takes a news twist on the story where Frank arrives in the city and sort of takes Chucks place from the original game. I don’t want to spoil much of the story because there is a different twist to this story and a few new areas but overall, it follows the same idea of a big Phenotrans conspiracy and Frank getting framed for the outbreak. There are parts where the game not only changes cutscenes and you go to new places but parts where the cutscenes are exactly the same but dubbed over with new dialogue and Frank is swapped in instead of Chuck, which is for the most part a fast majority of the game and I don’t crazy mind the parts that are the same but some of them are just flat out dumb and make less sense now. For an example (Minor spoiler) the Slappy psycho fight now happens not because he thinks frank killed his gf in the outbreak like he saw on TV but now he thinks she is a toy and is broken…? So dumb. I would have preferred them to make the cutscenes the exact same, but this time maybe swap him out for her and have her be the psycho or something. A lot of these side quest survivor missions still happen but at different times and places along with some new ones including a lot of hidden ones that half the time I couldn’t get to spawn in. The way survivor missions spawned before flowed a lot better with them spawning in at certain places that go along together but now this game has you running all over the place in a way that doesn’t make sense making some hidden quests get accidently skipped. I should also mention the ridiculous and silly troll achievements in this game like having the first survivor Denise do damage to Sgt Bolkin at the end of the game which is crazy annoying and hard to do but a lot of this is fun co-op which I can’t mention enough, play this game with a friend! Replaying the remastered version, I didn’t run into any major glitches like before and for the most part I had a lot of fun replaying this game with my buddy once again after years. If you like Dead Rising, DR1, Frank or Co-op games I’d recommend this one and though I do like 3 a lot I think this is probably when Dead Rising Peaked in terms of fun, environments, characters and co-op but that’s just my opinion. If you are wondering why I feel this way, I’ll get into 3 when I review that one.
Overall current version is a: 9.5/10

best game ever
my canon version of DR2
Frank is too good
Frank is too good
Frank is back all is good
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.

fun game but cooler
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
o auge de uma franquia divertida, porém estranha
matar zumbis em um shopping parece uma ideia ruim, e talvez ela realmente seja, mas a execução beira a maestria, tornando uma base estranha em um jogo de zumbis extremamente sólido

Would've been perfect if the wh*te woman died instead of Sullivan
Dead Rising 2, the BEST EXPERIENCE.
Game is great, a solid 3.5 or 4. But I ran into a game-breaking bug in the final chapter that hard-locked my game. Hopefully I this gets fixed and I can finish it, but seeing as this game is older, I doubt it
This review contains spoilers
Good game until the military arrives.
Dead Rising 2 Off The Record is a combination of what made the first Dead Rising a bit of a hidden gem classic, as well as what made 2 an accessible yet endlessly fun co-op game, bringing Frank West back from the original game and throwing Chuck Greene from the sequel in as the co-op partner, having pretty much every voice actor come back to do a whole set of new lines for what is just an enhanced edition was unheard of then and still is now.
Just between you and me, I want to pretend this is the canon version of this game.

DR2 with some neat new stuff
co op great also

He's covered wars you know.
Um jogo bem divertido para matar zumbis! Apesar de ser um spin-off de DR2 aqui tem alguns diferenciais interessantes, além da historia ser um pouco diferente, temos uma área nova, algumas armas e um modo de tempo ilimitado (Sandbox) o que dá muitas possibilidades de exploração no jogo. Em geral é bem divertido e também tem modo co-op o que pode deixar a experiencia ainda melhor se tiver um amigo para jogar.
