Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Dead Rising series, Capcom has updated the game to take advantage of the PlayStation 4 with improved visuals and a 1080p resolution that runs at 60 frames per second. Similar to the original game, Dead Rising 2 is all about one man against a swarming horde of hungry zombies, and how that one man survives by creatively using everyday objects to perform acts of great and gratuitous violence against these slow-but-relentless pursuers.

Dead Rising 2s hero is a former pro motocross rider named Chuck Greene, who finds himself in the fictional entertainment capital of Fortune City when the zombie outbreak hits there.
