Dead Rising 2 really is the most straight forward sequel they could have made, down to using some of the exact same assets and music tracks. Canadien studio Blue Castle Games had their work basicly cut out for them and to their credit: They mostly brought really good quality of life improvments to the formula while adding a fresh cast to the franchise.
Survivor AI is massivly improvement and combo weapons add a lair motivation to the leveling system and exploration. Id say map design took a hit here, I much prefer Willamet to Fortunate City, simply because the latter has can get fairly tedious to navigate while Dead Rising 1 had very little wasted space in its tightly designt Mall setting. What I do prefer is Chuck Green over Frank West.
I know im gona be in the minority here but Chucks ultimate dad persona is infinitly endering to me. From beeing as quick witted as a lobotomized puppy, to his corny one liners and his loving relationship to his daughter Kathy. Chuck is the kinda guy I wanna have beer with.
