Excellent Game Overall. A couple off putting mistakes though.

This is a truly great game. The graphics are probably a 8-9/10. The controls arent too difficult or confuzing. The sound effects are cool and exciting. This game copied the (work bench / build weapons ) concept from Fallout 3, but Dead Rising 2 made it a whole lot better, crazier, and definitely more fun. The different weapons to kill zombies with and the differerent ways those weapons kill alone makes this way better than Dead Rising 1. You can mix drinks to give you special abilitys( regain health, run faster, etc.). The new ways ot thinking of how and when you will slaughter these zombies make the game a blast.
Now for the bad side. As you've probably seen in other reviews, the glitches can be pretty bad sometimes, almost enough to freeze the game. And when you are changing clothes or taking a drink or eating, you can be grabbed by a zombie, which I know is realistic but can really make you mad though. You might find the time limits on missions ridiculous, and sometimes they are. If you are about to complete a mission and all you have to do is get back to the safe house. You can actually fail the mission less than two feet from the safe house door. This will make you want to throw your controller at the tv and blow it up, In the next paragraph their are helpful saving tips to prevent this.
If you've read the magazines you've read the magazines you probably read that they added 2 more save slots to save your game data, which is good. Also their is now a save point in almost every section of the city. Even with these new editions, I have two words of advise for you to enjoy this game with the least amount of frustration possible: !!!!!!! SAVE WISELY !!!!!!! . If you save while a mission that has a number dash number at the end ( ex. The Source 2-2) is about to end and you havent started it yet. You might have to start the entire game over if you didnt have any good previous saves. What I do now and could be usefull to almost everybody that plays this game is I plug in my USB drive (you can use a microsoft memory card also) and keep it plugged in while playing the game so I now have 6 save slots instead of 3.
Thank you for reading my review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
