The original Dead Rising still stands as one of, if not my favorite, zombie games of all time. Something just felt right about being locked in a mall filled with zombies - using the merchandise in the stores to fend of the undead hordes dead-set on tearing into your skull.
When I heard that Dead Rising 2 was in the works, I was overjoyed. Then, news surfaced that there would be drop-in 2 player cooperative play and I was sold, and judging by our own John Jacques’ hands-on with the game at E3 2010, it looks to be shaping up quite well.
One of the new features in Dead Rising 2 that has me most interested though, is the multiplayer mode: “Terror Is Reality.” Compared to the television show American Gladiators, it sounds as if players will take part in various challenges - on some sort of twisted gameshow. Needless to say, I was interested to see this in action.
Well, now we have our first look at a new Zamboni Mode in the form of two screenshots - found on the tie-in site for the game.
