E3 2010 | Dead Rising 2 trailer

Dead Rising 2’s plot now revolves around Chuck Greene, whose daughter has been infected with the zombification virus. Fortunately, there’s an antidote named Zombiex available, but it’s tough to get hold of and he’s got to fight his way to it through the zombie-littered streets of Fortune City.

Once again it’s about charging through each stage, trying to make it to the exit point while battering the undead and saving the odd civilian or two en route. The key new element is the ability to build combo weapons by combining different objects together. Find a baseball bat and some nails, get to one of the many workshops dotted around the map, and you can knock up a sweet nail club to clobber zombies with.
