Dead Rising 2 Game Info for PC System

Dead Rising 2 is an action adventure video game for PC, Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), set to be released on August 31, 2010. The game is developed by Blue Castle Games and published by Capcom.

In the game, several years have passed since the Wilamette incident, and Dead Rising 2 shifts the action from the everyday world of mid-West America to the glitz and glamour of Fortune City, America's latest and greatest entertainment playground. People flock to Fortune City from around the globe to escape from reality and the chance to win big and for some, this means competing in Terror is Reality.

Like millions of Americans, former national motocross champion Chuck Greene is gripped by the TV sensation that is Terror is Reality. Hosted by the flamboyant Tyrone King, Terror is Reality pits ordinary members of the public against an arena full of zombies with a simple challenge – kill more zombies than your opponents and stay alive with the winner collecting big money and the chance to come back and secure even greater prizes. So, what is it that has forced Chuck to come to Fortune City and risk his life in the modern day gladiatorial contest, is he trying to recapture the fame of his motocross days, does he have a reason to hate zombies, or is it simply the lure of big money?

Dead Rising 2 game features:

Thousands of zombies filling every square inch of Fortune City.

Players will be able to take two objects, a roll of tape and with a little inventiveness create an advanced zombie-killing combo weapon -- a piece of wood and a lawnmower become Portamower, the handheld mower that cuts zombies down to size in an instant, while a garden rake and car battery combine to create an electrified zombie prod..

Creating and using combination weapons will not just result in novel ways to tackle Dead Rising 2's shuffling cast of thousands as the more combo weapons a player uses, the more Prestige Points (PPs) they will rack up. Earn enough PPs and Chuck levels up, which in turn delivers its own benefits.
