Worth the 5 bucks for sure, but makes me worried about DR2...

User Rating: 8 | Dead Rising 2: Case Zero X360

I liked the first DR for the most part but one thing in particular ruined it for me: the save system, it led to some major frustration. In Case 0 you have 3 save slots, so thats a plus, but I must say I'm a little worried after playing Case 0 that they didnt do enough in the last 4 years to make DR2 a truly great successor to the original.
The gameplay is essentially the same. Yes its loads of fun to find inventive ways to bludgeon and decapitate zombies, and the combinable weapon feature is cool, but I'm not entirely convinced yet. I enjoyed case 0 overall, a good value at 5$, but as a full priced game I hope they have more up their sleeve for DR2.
One thing that bugged me was the lack of voice acting, you have to read text just like the first one, and frequent and long load times which really interrupt the flow of the game.Also if driving vehicles is at all a significant part of DR2 I hope the controls arent as horrible as they were for the motorcycle in Case 0.
I'm looking forward to the game because I love the zombie killin mayhem but I'm hoping enough has been added to keep it interesting!
