Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
About the Game
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record plays out a what-if scenario, retelling Dead Rising 2 with Frank West as the main protagonist, replacing Chuck Greene. Frank enters Fortune City, hoping to regain some of the fame he found after breaking the story on the Willamette zombie crisis that took place in Dead Rising . Instead of riding slicecycles through zombies, Frank enters Terror Is Reality to wrestle zombies. When the zombies are set free, and the town is caught in another outbreak, Frank, considering himself lucky, readies his camera, determined to break the story.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Additional combo weapons can be made, Frank's hand-to-hand fighting style differs from Chuck's, and Chuck Greene is the second player in co-op games. Another new feature in Off the Record is the Sandbox mode, where players can roam Fortune City with no time restrictions nor need for Zombrex. Levels, skills and money gained in the Sandbox mode carry over to the Story mode, same as the money Chuck made in the TIR games in Dead Rising 2 transferred to the Story mode. There are also challenges spread throughout the map in Sandbox mode.
Standout Features
- Chuck Greene appears as one of the psychopaths, his daughter Katey does not make an appearance, and Stacey and Sullivan have new allegiances, for example.
- Dead Rising: The game mechanics and goals are the same as in Dead Rising 2 : Frank must follow and complete cases within a certain time frame or the truth will vanish, he can escort survivors back to safety, and needs Zombrex to keep from becoming a zombie.
- Record: Off the Record returns photography to Dead Rising and adds a new section of Fortune City, Uranus Zone.
