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

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero 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 Zero 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 Zero 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.

Dead Rising Case Zero presents as a zombie death demo for Dead Rising 2, the main event. Underneath however is a tale about the importance of the father/daughter relationship - albeit one with distracting zombie killing all around it.

I'm a fan of all things zombie. Films might be typically shallow and mindless but I'm always happy to watch them as long as they have some undead walking the streets. It was a similar tale for the first Dead Rising. Visceral and fun yet I have no recollection of it ever being particularly powerful in its storytelling.

Story Gamer review Sun, 12 Sep 2010

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero 360 is a self-contained downloadable prologue to the forthcoming sequel that expands the story and zombified universe of the series.

Don't call it a demo. Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is standalone, but while it acts as an introduction to that game's lead character, story and game play, it's set in a different location with its own characters and missions.
