Longing for Some Zombie Slaughter? Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Is Here!

It’s been several years since photojournalist Frank “I covered wars, you know” West took on the undead in the Willamette shopping mall in Dead Rising. Dead Rising 2 is still a few weeks off from release, but if you have a Xbox 360 you can return to the carnage today! The series’ new hero, handyman Chuck Greene gets his introduction in a downloadable-only prequel to Dead Rising 2 called Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. This new, shorter game is available exclusively via Xbox Live for a surprisingly reasonable 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99) starting today.

In addition to bringing Chuck into the story, Case Zero also features a number of new gameplay elements that will be new for Dead Rising 2. You’ll get to play with the new weapons building mechanics (chainsaws tied to a motorcycle, anybody?), and you’ll also face off against the new “psycho” boss fights. As an added bonus, character progress you make in Case Zero will carry over into Dead Rising 2 once it releases on September 28. You can raise Chuck and his abilities up to a maximum of level five in this mini-game, and there also are a number of unique outfits and combo cards available in advance.

What are you waiting for? Get out there and start making some zombie mulch!
