Dead Rising 2: Case West

Mechanics

Gameplay mechanics look similar to what one might have experienced in the core game. All the abilities featured by the main protagonist remain the same – this includes the ability to combine various items in order to create special weapons to fight the zombies. Players have to face hordes of living dead advancing on the player in hundreds, if not thousands. To effectively eliminate them, one can utilize various fancy weapons – from the more standard to those unconventional ones, such as flowerpots, umbrellas, and teddy bears. The main asset of the game is the fact that one can use nearly any object found lying around, and it is up to the player’s imagination to decide what to kill zombies with.

Technical aspects

The cooperative game mode is a strong asset of the Case West DLC. Owners of the ‘Gold’ Xbox Live expansion can finish the entire episode along with a friend – one player assumes the role of Frank, while the other – of Chuck. This kind of cooperation delivers much more fun and allows dealing with all the zombies in various ways. By combining different ways of defeating the living dead, players can increase their efficiency, especially when the players choose different types of weapons, which the game offers a whole lot of.
