Just a question to the people who've played this game (I haven't got round to buying it yet nor do I, at this moment have any intention to) has the game fixed the control issues from the first? Which is what let the first game down for me, I thought the controls were a little shit.
That aside, nice review I guess. Again, this isn't a game I've played so I can't add any of my own input. I didn't really enjoy the first game, I liked the idea behind the first game and in theory it was pretty cool however as said above, I hated the controls to the point that it ruined the game for me.
I do hope you do Castlevania next week. That seems a game more up my street.

Hilariously, your 5th and I imagine you'll still get a ban. Still don't understand why you guys do it but I do hope they do I.P bans around here.Hentaibound said:

I'm glad to see they dropped the photojournalism aspect (ironic since I am an actual journalist), it was really tedious. Hopefully saving the NPC's will be easier this time, it's really satisfying to save innocent people but damn if the walking time didn't slow the game down.
Personally, I found the flashlight+gems to be a more broken combo, especially if you're using the ninja outfit.
Hmm fire axe-sledge hammer? Good against bosses?
Thanks Yahtzee!
Anyway Im quite enjoying Dead rising 2, particulary Terror is Reality.

Dead Rising is my favorite game. Sorry, now that there is a sequel what I mean to say is it's my favorite franchise. Either way, an enjoyable video from Yahtzee. Hope to see more like this that remind me why I started watching you in the first place.
Its hard not to like this game, other than the fact that you can take a whole bunch of weapons with you but some you can't and there is no way to know which is which until your character leaves your awesome chainsaw kayak paddle stick of death on the ground when you need to eat a little food.
I want to hear Yahtzee's impressions on minecraft, since I've been seeing it on other escapist articles.

I love this game, and the review is spot on. I am enjoying this one thoroughly though I've yet to finish the first due to the incredibly stupid difficulty curve and also equally stupid survivor AI. I don't think they should be called survivors though, they don't.
EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention for DR2, the truly awesome Ghosts n' Goblins reference (Arthur's Armor!!) and the Blanka mask.

I was kinda disappointed with the weapon system. I sort of hoped for ALLOT of zombie movie/game in jokes. Like a roid cocktail that temporarily transformed you into the tank from L4D or combining a keyboard with a bow and arrow/gun to make the typing of the dead insta kill keyboard.
But still what we got was great and I'm kinda sad not to have seen the auger being animated on ZP.
The auger is pretty much a rotating pitchfork stuck in a heavy bore drill motor. You jam it in a squishy zombie and than use it's impaled rotating body to clear out the room.
In all its a 7.5 though it's a bit weak on the story side given that out Chucky goes out by night to kill about 1000 zombies than goes back to his daughter to give her some more medicine all whilst under the helpful guidance of the anti-zombie killing organization leader who constantly rave on how awful the zombie killing show was.
Needless to say me and my buddies re-enacted that show on the Silver strip by strapping a chainsaw and an LMG to our bikes.

It looks like a fun game, the only problem i have with it is that these are the kinds of games people point to when they make the arguement that games have no artistic value and are nothing but mindless killing, and when these games make money we get more of them making the arguement even more valid, on the other hand giving a company money for making a fun game makes plaenty of sense as well
He said he actually like Halo: Reach as well. Seemed to surprise him as much as us.qbanknight said:
I get that people dislike the timer because it stops you from messing around and killing zombies, but it also stops the game from turning into what GTA becomes after you beat the missions: a pointless sandbox. Getting through zombies is way more tense when you have 30 seconds to cross the map.
