Dead Rising 2: Off the Record : Xbox 360 Description
Players return to Sin City sidewalks seeking the scoop on a zombie outbreak, and find themselves neck-deep in fast-paced survival-horror action. Off the Record is a spin-off in the Dead Rising series that plays through the events of the sequel from the perspective of the original game's hero, Frank West.
Expanded Description Players return to Sin City sidewalks seeking the scoop on a zombie outbreak, and find themselves neck-deep in fast-paced survival-horror action. Off the Record is a spin-off in the Dead Rising series that plays through the events of the sequel from the perspective of the original game's hero, Frank West.
In good Dead Rising style, the one-against-hundreds tension of a horror adventure is set off by the fast-paced carnage of an arcade action game, seasoned with unflinching violence and a gruesome sense of humor, and set in an open, sandbox-style world. Although the Fortune City surroundings and zombie monsters -- as well as the photojournalist hero -- will be familiar to series veterans, the game's story follows a new path through the events of the second undead outbreak, with original cut scenes, missions, puzzles, enemy types, and creatively re-appropriated zombie-killing gear. As in the first Dead Rising, Frank can snap candid photos of his zombie victims, in their most horrid and amusing moments, to earn Prestige Points and unlock special abilities. Technical improvements make for shorter load times and smoother play than in previous Dead Rising games.
