  • Summary: Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, sees photojournalist and original hero of Dead Rising's Willamette incident, Frank West take center stage as players experience a reimagining of the Fortune City outbreak. Forget what you know about Dead Rising 2,"Frank West is back in the game!" The new, "Off the Record" storyline means an all new Dead Rising 2 experience. Frank will face off against more twisted enemies, build more outrageous combo weapons, follow his own unique mission structure and explore brand new areas of Fortune City to get his biggest scoop yet. Frank's come back means the return of his trusty camera, with players able to earn Prestige Points (PP) for specific photo opportunities that are graded against criteria such as horror, drama, erotica and brutality. In addition to the new scenario and gameplay enhancements, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record offers a suite of technical updates including load time optimizations, improved network performance and a host of system upgrades to deliver a more satisfying Dead Rising experience. … Expand

    Dead Rising 2: Off the Record has problems - and that's compounded by the fact that some of those issues are inherited, rather than new. It's a game with strengths too though, and while Off the Record doesn't prove to be any better than Dead Rising 2 on the whole, it certainly isn't any worse.

    Capcom are trying to get money from out of your wallet, and they don't even bother to impress you for it. It means that if you have played the second volume, you would waste your money for this Off The Record game. If it's not your case, buy it and slaughter those goners until dying away.

    Even if the new features had been awesome, this would have been a pointless re-release. [Jan 2012, p.810]

    Sure, it's almost the same as the other one, but hey, let's face it. It's also better. The thing is, if you've never played Dead Rising 2, buy this game absolutely. If you have, buy it when it's on sale. Either way, still a great game.… Expand

    I played this game all the way through twice and loved it! The addition of Sandbox Mode is such a huge improvement! It is something that the Dead Rising series should have had from the start and in a game where exploration is rewarded, but time is limited Sandbox Mode is perfect! I've read a lot of reviews that say "killing zombies gets old," and that's why this mix of Story and Sandbox is so great. The level up, inventory, and skills systems are all well executed. The story is gritty without taking itself too seriously and the main characters are very interesting. My only complaint is that sometimes actions take a little too long to perform, which can mess up your timing in tense situations. If you haven't played Dead Rising 2 or always wanted to explore Fortune City without restrictions I highly recommend this game.… Expand

    A standalone patch that fixes most problems Dead Rising 2 had, for the low low price of $40 USD. Using the exact same locations, textures, items, and gameplay mechanics as the original, OTR the new content was likely made in a week, and pushed as a new title instead of as a patch and DLC for Dead Rising 2.… Expand
