Dead Rising 2: Co-Op & Weapon Combos

Keeping with an unintentional Zombie theme in the posts today, Dead Rising 2, the obvious sequel to Dead Rising one of our favourite Xbox360 games from 2006 (2009 for you Wii people) have included one of the biggest features sorely missing from the original, Co-op & Multiplayer modes.

In a game with so many zombies on screen and a time limit on your tasks/missions Co-op play will certainly make this game more enjoyable when compared to the frustration we experienced playing the first with plenty of back seat gamers happy to tell us what we should be doing, should we have done and yet not picking up a controller and showing us their “Mad Skilz”. With the Co-op mode in DR2 its time for those people to grab a controller and Nut up or Shut up.

With a release date set for August 31st 2010 you can guarantee there will be some zombie killing Co-op fun going on around OMC Headquarters. Check out the preview below and take note of the in game cinematic where the second player can still move about independently from the first player who is involved in the cinematic, very cool. There is also something about weapon combos and blah blah blah Zombies…
