They're coming for you, Frank. Again.
Zombies are the most malleable of all monsters. Over the years they've signified a wealth of social disorders from the ignorance and fear that fuelled racial tensions in 1960s America to the unthinking mindset ushered in by mass-consumerism. Given the latter, it's more than a tad ironic that Dead Rising 2: Off The Record should exist at all. Are Capcom simply taking advantage of the zombie-crazed consumer, who will slavishly shuffle out to their nearest store to pick up a copy, arms outstretched like one of its many rapidly-decaying characters?
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Dead Rising 2: Off the Record might be my favorite release in the series as it took a solid entry, threw the heroic Frank West in and brought us the legendary Sandbox mode."
Carlos Writes "With Dead Rising 4 now out the door, and our playthrough finalised, we decided to take a look to see how it stacks up with the rest of the series entries. So here we are...ranking the full Dead Rising series from god damn worst, right up to the best zombie bashing offering that we've ever seen."
I played the first, and I bought #4. Other than that, strangely haven't played any of the others. I'll get round to it one day though I guess.
