Dead Rising 2 : Case Zero

There is a delay between hitting save and something happening.

I didn't run into any bugs at all though.

Getting the girl to leave the store was cake, you just have to get her dad off the roof (talk to him), then they both follow you.

Can't wait for DR2, finally finished up 1000/1000G in Dead Rising last weekend!

Yeah, if they insist on doing escort missions (which I still think are one of the lowest forms of game design!) then good AI is vital. Here, I barely needed to help them out, they tended to avoid the zombie mobs themselves, so yeah definite improvement.

Second playthrough annoyed me a bit more though. The UI, scripted bits (the guys behind the department store failed to show up for me too!) and ludicrously long loading times (that made going to the safe house an absolute chore) were harder to justify. This is such a strange franchise - for everything they do right - i.e. zombies - the game design is really archaic in other ways.

The two guys dont appear until after 3:00pm and you have to exit and re-enter the area for them to show up.

Apparently you play as them both and it's post-release DLC. If it's as good as Case Zero it's a must-buy!

That is impressive.

"Frank the pimp" is a bloody nightmare.

But how you had the patience to answer every one of that arsehole Otis' calls is a feat I'll never match
