Dead Rising 2 Trailer Features Chainsaw-on-a-Stick

What's better than a chainsaw? A chainsaw on a stick. What's better than a chainsaw on a stick? Two chainsaws on a stick - as seen in the new, full-length Dead Rising 2 trailer.


What's better than two chainsaws on a stick? Two chainsaws on a stick attached to a motorcycle.

The trailer introduces Dead Rising 2 protagonist Chuck Greene, who fills in for Dead Rising's main character Frank West this time around. Chuck is stuck in a grand Fortune City casino (viva Las Vegas, baby!) with a bunch of shambling, mindless undead. What's a man to do - other than wreak zombie havoc, of course.

Chuck Greene seems to be a man of many tastes and many talents. He expresses his sports enthusiast side by taking a baseball bat and swinging for the fences. He gets in touch with his inner sensitive musician by grabbing an electric guitar ... and swinging for the fences. He exhibits his love for social drinking by ... well, okay, we only see him drinking out of the fruity-looking cocktail, but that doesn't mean he couldn't kill a zombie with it if he tried really hard.

More interestingly, though, seems to be Chuck's "Handyman" skills, which appear to grant him the ability to make makeshift weapons - by, say, taping chainsaws to the end of a stick. That could be interesting.

On another note: Frank West, Chuck Greene... I'm predicting that Dead Rising 3's protagonist will be named something along the lines of "Jack Fox" or something.

I hope it's good, but it doesn't look like there is going to be much of a difference. Or story.

I laughed like a drain when I was the moose head as a weapon. That will be my weapon of choice from now on

I was already sold on the game...now I'm considering putting myself into a chemically induced coma so I can have the game sooner.

Never got to play the first seeming as I have a PS3, but I believe I'll pick this one up!
Zombies = Mindless barrels of laughs!

seems kinda ripped off Gears of War 2. That locust named Skorge had something exactly like it.

Still wished they'd placed it in a huge free roaming city of zombies but I guess a casino will do.

Must get this. Although... I dunno, there's another part of me that is seriously worried this one won't be as good as the first. I hope that part is wrong, please lord let it be wrong.
