Dead Rising 2 appreciation thread...

Gamefly is a godsend. I rent 4 a month myself and it's saved me from paying 60 bucks for more than a few games that I would have regretted. DR 2 isn't one of them though. That was a day one purchase. It's a good way to try a game, much more than a demo offers, and see if you want to keep it. If you do ,you get a brand new game discounted at around 40 bucks.

So i got my hands on DR2 today, check this out for a boxset Woohoo! That's the one I got too - it's like having your very own zombie apocalypse right there in your bedroom...

Anyone try the guitar/amp combo weapon? I tried it last night and found it to be fairly useless. Cool looking, funny to watch, but pretty much useless. It knocks down any zombies close to you, but doesn't kill most of them. Dammit, where's the lawnmower when I need it.

It knocks down any zombies close to you, but doesn't kill most of them. I got the scratch card for that, does the power increase or is there a strong attack once you get the combo card? Also, if you combine the flashlight and a PC tower, you get what seems to be a useless taser. Use it on an ATM machine and it will spit out $10,000.

anyone bothered finding out the secret achievement yet? i cheated and looked it up, and it's pretty funny... also just got the achievement for getting 8 survivors together at once. it's much easier this time around with the drastically improved AI of the survivors. a tip for those trying it: you can order survivors to stay in the maintenance room or the room across from it in the hallway on the way to the security room. just have food items to give them cuz they'll lose health while you're away from them. then pick them up once you leave the security room and head out and get more to join. much easier than it was in DR1, that's for sure....

I'm having some trouble getting past the two bimbos in the dance club. Anyone have any good strategies for that fight? WN

[ProfessorChaos]

every time i leave the security room, i stop and make a spiked bat in the maintenance room, then grab an orange juice at the magazine stand just as you enter the royal flush plaza. the oj (along with the health magazine) and spiked bats are about all i carry. oj heals you big time and the spiked bats are easy to handle and very devastating. as for the twins, just focus on taking down one of them, the other will quit once her sister is dead...and then she gets upset about it....and i'll let you find out the rest. there's also plenty of cocktails laying around the club, so drink those to keep your health up.

heh, last night was a night of fun. Made all kinds of fun stuff: Lawnmower & 2x4 = interesting, but not very practical. Lawnmower & Wheelchair = Now THAT is a fun weapon! Fast, mangles zombies quick - highly recommended! Cement Saw & Saw Blade = devastating to zombies, creates this weird 4-bladed cement saw and WOW! Chansaw & Boat Paddle = by far my favorite weapon, it just maims anything that comes near you I also noticed there was a tiny pink bicycle laying around near one of the casinos. When I got close, I realized I could "ride" it - WTF?! Talk about a weird, screwy thing to put in a game. Chuck looks like a complete dingbat on that think, but it's good for a laugh. It will help you just drive through a boatload of zombies without having to worry about being bit, but still, what a weird thing to put in the game.

Well, considering that it's a Japanese game weird is like a pre requisite. Are you talking about the tricycle? Because everytime i see him on that thing peddling and his les are moving realy fast it cracks me up.

Because everytime i see him on that thing peddling and his les are moving realy fast it cracks me up. It looked more like a tiny pink bike with training wheels, was that really a tricycle? Wow, my eyes are going bad.. lol But yeah, he starts pedaling really fast and it's hard not to break out in a fit of giggles. And guys, you do know there's an official dead rising 2 help topic stuck at the top of the forum dont you? Yes.
