Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Walkthrough


Looking for the information about the full game, not the DLC? Click here for our step-by-step guide to Dead Rising 2!


Priced at a mere 400 Microsoft Points, Dead Rising 2‘s Case Zero DLC punches above its weight. Commissioned by executive producer Keiji Inafune (of Mega Man and Onimusha fame) as both a demo and prequel, the software will introduce gamers to Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene, he of frosty glare and frosted tips. Trapped in the arid, Undead-infested town of Still Creek (2 years after the events of the original Dead Rising), Greene must defend his daughter Katey from the zombie onslaught, introducing players to the game’s key mehanics (like item combination  — see above) and enabling them to get a  head-start on abilities, items, and experience up to level five.

Maybe more importantly, Case Zero is the storytelling bridge that connects the first installment to its sequel, filling us in on the carnage that transpires between Frank West (Photojournalist)’s escape from Williamette Mall and the Fortune City-based mayhem that Greene will indulge in later this Fall. Get going on your way to Vegas (avoiding Bat Country, perhaps), with this step-by-step walkthrough.
