Dead Rising 2 is so much more than a singleplayer zombie destruction ‘simulator.’

Not only will you be able to run amok through the halls and attractions of Fortune City by yourself, crafting weapons and taking in unique all-American ‘culture,’ but you’ll also be able to bring a friend along with you to multiply the fun exponentially!

That’s right - I said exponentially!

Dead Rising 2 also features a four-player competitive game mode called ‘Terror is Reality,’ which is essentially a game show-like combat arena - think ‘Gladiators,’ but with zombies and chainsaws, and you’re halfway there.
