24 September 20108.5/10Dead Rising 2 confirms that this is a development team that listens. Taking the good from the original and cutting or fixing the bad.

12 October 20117.0/10Dead Rising is a unique experience that no other franchise quite replicates. But part of the appeal lies in how different it is from other games. There have now been four Dead Rising games released in little more than a year, and this may be a case of too much of a good thing. Off the Record just doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from previous games in the series, so even the most ardent fans should be resistant to dive in again. Read more

The slight tweaks and addictive co-op made it a hoot and a half (you haven’t lived until you’ve seen a semi-serious cut scene with both Chuck and Frank in hairnets, hearted boxers and open hospital gowns) from the...

14 November 20116.9/10If you have Dead Rising 2 then there’s little reason to re-invest in Off the Record. In that case the game gets 69%. On the other hand if this is your first Dead Rising experience you’re in for a treat (and for newcomers we give it 80%). Read more
