After missing the well-hidden restart mechanic in the original Dead Rising, I was never grabbed by the main series entries enough to finish them. My interest was slightly raised by listening to an old Giant Bombcast where they are talking about Dead Rising 2, and I wanted to play this game, available on Xbox Game Pass.
The humour in this game is pretty effective, but the basic zombie brawling gets a bit tedious after an hour. Maybe this series is not for me.
