The reason I ended up picking up Dead Rising 2 in the first place was because my friend Keri Honea had received a strategy guide for it for her personal gaming site, Strategy Guide Reviews. So in playing the game, I also used the strategy guide (something I rarely do) and wrote a review of that as well. Check. It. Out.

Dead Rising 2 thrives on secrets, hidden items, and insider knowledge. A good guide would be a godsend for anyone struggling with the undead hordes of Fortune City. Does Prima’s guide have what it takes to keep motocross star Chuck Greene and his daughter Katey alive?

If all Dead Rising 2 needed was a simple walkthrough, it would be easy to take care of it here, in one sentence: Follow the arrows, carry lots of healing items, and don’t run out of time. But that’s not nearly all there is to surviving and thriving in Fortune City, and thankfully Prima’s guide is well-equipped to help.

What if someone told you they were taking you on a trip to Six Flags? You’d be excited, right? But then you get there and find out that you only get an hour and you have to go on certain rides or you have to leave early.

That’s Dead Rising 2.

There’s so much to love in Fortune City, but the game makes it so difficult to do so. The game feels like a guided tour, and any attempts to explore are often punished with, at best, locked doors and, at worst, surprise boss battles.
