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.
