Review: "Dead Rising 2"

Chuck's World
review for Dead Rising 2, 1 - 4 player action, available now

Chuck Greene is insane. No, really. If you thought Dead Rising's protagonist Frank West was a few screws loose at times, then prepare a straight-jacket and plot a course for Arkham Asylum, because Chuck Greene is a paranoid schizophrenic, a compulsive cross-dresser, and a reckless sadist. The best part is? ...it's all your fault.


Y'see, in the cut-scenes, Chuck is more or less normal. He has a daughter, Katey, who was once bitten by a zombie; and thusly needs a dailey dose of anti-go-crazy syrum Zombrex else she turns into a slavering beast herself. Because his daughter is infected, he is shown to sympathise with pro-zombie protest group CURE, a PETA-like orginization that quite unironically stands against violence to zombies.

Chuck will say things like, "I'm going to go find your medicine," or, "I'll do whatever I can to bring these zombie-haters to justice." Which is pretty normal. Then he'll go out and tape a sledgehammer to some fireaxes and flatten in the heads of every zombie he sees, provoked or not. Oops.
