Dead Rising 2 is a game of my childhood, which I played through 3 times as a child and 3 more times relatively recently.
I like the mechanics of combining different items to craft all sorts of weapons (referred to in the game as “combo weapons”). There are both ordinary and realistic KOs (Combo weapons), and all sorts of unrealistic fantasies of sadists. I won’t say that the presence of unrealistic weapons in the game is bad, on the contrary, it’s really fun. There is a lot that can be said about the unrealism in the game. It was as if the developers were faced with a choice of “Realism or fun,” and they chose fun. The plot of the game is good and interesting. Psychopaths (bosses) are interesting characters with their own history, the bosses in Dead Rising 2 introduced me to my favorite musical artists - Celldweller and Blue Stahli. The only thing I hate about this game is the fucking save system. The game is in an open world, it does not save automatically and save points are not at all, AT ALL, at every step. And so, Dead Rising 2 is one of the coolest zombie games.
