As Chuck Greene, you have 72 hours to save your infected daughter, clear your name and survive the hordes of hungry zombies before the military comes in and nukes the city. To ensure your survival, you can combine everyday objects to create numerous deadly combo weapons and slaughter the ravenous zombies. Dead Rising 2, it’s where Creativity Kills. Five years after a devastating zombie outbreak, former motocross champion Chuck Greene arrives in the glittering casino town of Fortune City, Nevada, to compete in Terror Is Reality, a controversial game show in which contestants slaughter zombies for cash and fame. Chuck desperately needs the winnings to buy Zombrex, a daily medication that holds off the zombification of his young daughter Katey, who was bitten during a past outbreak. But disaster strikes when the show's zombies are deliberately released, plunging Fortune City into a full-blown epidemic. Chuck rescues Katey and reaches a sealed emergency shelter, promising to keep her supplied with Zombrex until the military arrives. When a news report suddenly frames him as the cause of the outbreak, Chuck must brave the zombie-infested city to save his daughter and clear his name.
