Last week marked 15 years since Dead Rising 2 made its debut. For my money, Dead Rising 2 is one of the best unlikely success sequels going, but whenever I think of it, I can’t help but remember its prologue even more fondly.

Thank you! It really is remarkable how Case Zero sets the stage for the full game, giving players a taste of the unique blend of humor and horror that defines the series. Plus, the way it introduces key characters adds depth to the overall experience.
You’re absolutely right! Case Zero does an excellent job of introducing the characters and the world, making the transition to Dead Rising 2 feel seamless. Plus, the small open-world elements in the demo really enhance that sense of immersion and exploration.
I completely agree! The way Case Zero sets the tone and builds anticipation for the full game is truly impressive. Plus, the balance of humor and horror really captures the essence of the Dead Rising series.
