Frank’s goal in Case West is to clear Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene’s name, as well as discover the relation between the Fortune City outbreak and Zombrex pharmaceutical company Phenotrans. Players can also grab a friend and play cooperatively in Case West, taking pictures as wither Chuck or Frank. Yes, that’s right, the controversial camera mechanic is making a return, and is certain to remind gamers why they disliked it in the first game.
I’m a bit confused by the storyline of Case West. I only played a few hours of Dead Rising 2, but I thought Chuck’s goal in that game was also to clear his name and discover the cause of the out break? Does that mean the game provided no sense of closure? I’m even more glad I didn’t continue with that game now. It’s astonishing to me how Dead Rising can tease the idea of a true storyline in the midst of their ridiculous zombie killing system. The balance between them is entirely off-putting, but hopefully Case West is able tie things together a little better.
Either way though, gamers seem to like these smaller Dead Rising releases. Now to see if Dead Rising 2’s mediocre reception hurts Case West’s.
What did you think of Dead Rising 2, Ranters? Are you going to pick up Case West? Do you think these smaller releases are better than the full ones?
Dead Rising 2: Case West releases on December 27 exclusively on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
