If you have been lurking on my raptr page or my achievements page here you might notice that I have been playing Dead Rising 2 quite frequently. As of last night I turned level 24 and I am hoping to get level 25 tonight (for an achievement!).

I will admit that maybe some of this functionality was in the original game but I only played about 45 minutes of it to know what it had to offer. Dead Rising 2 offers something different than other games because of the interesting weapon creatons, and the combo cards that are collected to share what kinds of things you can make. Making my first lightsaber out of gems and a flashlight was an amazing achievement in itself! I also realized that mixing a drink like wine and beer helped during boss fights. I wont give that away but try it if you play the game! ;) Oh, and running around with a wheelchair, vehicle, or maintenance bucket is a nice way to run faster to a location while killing some zombies in the process.

I have reset the story about twice now and since I ran into some baddies that have been hard to defeat last night I have plans to restart the story as level 24 again tonight. The restarting story feature sounded not so appealing at first but I have come to realize that many times I'll walk away from a game from it taking too much time to kill a boss, which makes it less fun. I also like an additional way to earn money to cash out by playing some games of Terror Is Reality 17.

I'm curious to hear about any tips you might have or stories to share as I am sure there are numerous ones worthy of sharing! Anyone with the best story will receive a Dead Rising 2 lenticular style magnet! Moving the magnet around it says Dead Rising 2 on top and then converts to Punk Drunkers.
