The Breakdown

Are you a bad enough dude to save your daughter from turning into a zombie?  The zombie outbreak that started in Dead Rising has spread beyond Willamette, Colorado, and Chuck Greene, a former motocross champion, finds himself in search of a temporary cure called Zombrex for his infected daughter.  Is Dead Rising 2: Case Zero able to stand on it’s own as a good game, or is little more than a paid demo?  Read on to find out.

Impressive, Kevin. I enjoyed reading that.

Thanks, PK.

I was surprised at how much fun Case Zero was. My first thought was "paid demo", but it turned out to be a pretty good game all by itself, though short.

I don't want normal demos to go anywhere, but standalone prequels are a great idea. It's basically like DLC that you don't need the game for, which is actually better in my opinion (at least in this case), because it could motivate you to buy the actual game.
