Dead Rising 2: Case West is a Shooting game available on the 360. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer modes.

Dead Rising 2: Case West is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Dead Rising 2: Case West can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Dead Rising 2: Case West can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Story Gamer review Mon, 24 Jan 2011

Dead Rising 2: Case West 360 teams up the series two heroes, Frank West and Chuck Greene, to further the storyline by investigating an isolated laboratory facility. While this is another solid slice of light-hearted zombie-mangling, the setting is a little bland by this series' vivid standards.

After an extended cinematic bringing Frank and Chuck together, Case West drops them into a room full of the undead and presents the player with a refreshingly simple, stern instruction: Survive!
