Personally I'm a bigger fan of Frank's version. I will say this still among the best Dead Rising games. In many aspects greatly improves over the original Dead Rising. The map is still among my favorites in the series. Combo weapons really brought new life to the concept. I know that concept originally introduced in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Although this was the Dead Rising game to made it famous. Easily one of the finest campaigns in the franchise. There's even more depth to the game play than the original. Sure you have to find or buy Zombrex. Then quickly go give shots to your daughter to save her life. There's a couple endings to keep things interesting. It's also a great one to start the franchise with.
Why Dead Rising 2 Should Be on GOG (With Easy Controller Support)
Dead Rising 2 is a zombie-slaying classic that combines chaotic action, offbeat humor, and creative weapon crafting into one unforgettable experience. Set in the over-the-top world of Fortune City, it offers players the freedom to mow down hordes of zombies using anything from chainsaws to traffic cones—often in hilariously absurd combinations.
However, despite its cult following and multiple re-releases, Dead Rising 2 still isn’t available on GOG.com, where classic and beloved titles find new life in DRM-free form. Bringing it to GOG would be a big win for fans who prefer offline access, ownership without restrictions, and a smoother experience on modern PCs.
Even more important: the GOG version should include full, easy-to-use controller support right out of the box. Many current PC versions of the game require awkward workarounds to make controllers work properly, especially with modern gamepads like the Xbox Series or DualSense.
Dead Rising 2 belongs on GOG—fully optimized, fully supported, and fully zombie-filled. Let players relive the madness of Fortune City the way it was meant to be played: their way, with the controller in hand, and no DRM in sight.
