^ Why in the hell would you want to wear a mankini in the first place >:l Now on the other hand, I was getting pissed at the mercenaries that kept killing me when i was trying to stop the final drilling spot with the armored truck, because I had to dodge zombies also so I decided to let the case pass by, and just run around and build up my level, then restart the story when its over and be able to do it easier. On the other hand, here is a question: Which shop in the game is your favorite? Either Shanks, the knife/blade store, or That one with all the medeivel weponry in it.

I just beat the twins all my byself last night. For me, the key was to only the knife gloves, and fill every other inventory slot with actual food, so I didn't get sick when I ate it, and I didn't have to look for it once I got low.

haha, new to the thread, but a DR lover since i got my xbox (mainly for this game) in 08.
the twins were the hardest pyschopath yet. since i got the sports fan pack, i don't get sick when drinking alcohol so i ended up drinking most of the booze in the nightclub. the weapon i had the most success with was the velvet rope post thing, not the rope itself, but the gold post w/ the wide circular base. it really did some good damage.
2nd hardest goes to Leon(?) - the green motorcycle douchebag. Slappy took a couple tries, but in the end wasn't too bad (especially with ned's nicknackery just down the hall).
Bibi (the singer @ slot ranch) is one of my favorites since she's a psychopath you can defeat without fighting and you can save her too - thought it was nice to have a change of pace.
also, the wedding chapel guy with the chainsaw was a little rough, but i got him with the best go-to weapon in the game, the spiked bat (i will never leave the main halway withouth making one). oh, and taming snowflake was a little frustrating, but i got the jist of it on the 2nd try.
best survivor is wilted flower (shortcut!!) and worst so far is shell shocked (moves SO damn slow, and no extra reward).
i think DR2 is WAY easier than DR1 (so far) and honestly, i think that hurts it a little. I loved DR1 and the first time i played through it, i got so upset that i think it shaved a couple years off of my life (and it was worth it) - but after getting through it once, it's just more fun each time you play through it afterward. that being said, i can't wait to get through DR2 again and again and find all the little nooks and goodies in Fortune City.
overall thought, i love the game and the worst part is that my wife won't let me play it without her to see the story - so i've been doing the TIR online, it's pretty cool, but i can tell that winning each event once will be one of the last achievements i get.

maybe it's only "easy" for those of us who've made it through the original DR. If you've done so, it should be a lot of fun and no trouble.
if not, well, i still think it's easier. the survivor's AI is WAY more advanced. though the zombies are a little tougher to slip by, the survivors can usually keep up with you while escorting them back to safety - even without weapons they can make it with little damage taken.
the time management aspect of the game is brilliant, and i guess i can see why some people don't like it, but personally, i think it's what makes the game stand out. (if you're THAT hard-up to free-explore, just save and then go crazy and explore all you want, find things and then re-load and you'll still know where they are. -- also, the game doesn't end if you miss the main cases - you just get a different ending and all stats carry over to the next file.)
oh, and it came out last tuesday. all the different "skill packs" are available for download, 1 per week starting tomorrow at $2 a piece - starting tomorrow w/ the ninja pack, then the sports pack next week then the psycho and soldier packs to follow (not sure of the order).

I've been playing a little bit the last couple of days and I'm stuck fighting the two girls. The game is crazy fun, but some of the psychopaths are really hard this time around. Shotgun is your friend. Or failing that, i found carrying 2 or 3 spears and throwing them at the psychos is the best way to kill them all. Takes alot of health away.

it's true, the spear is quite handy. i got ending a last night, and let's just say you should put yourself in a position to bring multiple guns to the last boss - who is by far the hardest because melee is not an option. (i'll recommend the six-shooter you obtain from the security guard in south plaza who's "taking the law into his own hands" not sure when, but he's definately after the twins)

Double dropkick/haymaker does a lot of damage.

If you want ending S: SPOILER Give TK Zombrex

hmm, i'm at Level 32 - and i got ending A which sucks. So you have to get ending S to get overtime mode?
in response to Anvil's spoiler: bummer because i ended the game with 3xZombrex

I bought DR1 back in 2007 and it was fun, it was cool, it was ing annoying, but I loved it. I want to get DR2, is there still mini bosses and some form of Overtime mode after the game ends? And how is the replay value? Thanks

And how is the replay value? Thanks There are tons of mini bosses/psychos in the game as well as an overtime mode. The replay value of this game is probably as high as it gets. There's absolutely no way to save all the survivors and beat every psycho, while getting to explore the game for what it's worth the first time around. Plus, you get to play through the story with all of your upgrades that you earned playing it previously.

snowflake wants steaks. back up against a wall (right in her area, the zombies tend to stay out for the most part) and then wait for her to charge - when she's on her way throw her a steak - there's a few up on a rock in her area, and several in the food court if you want to stock up before you go in - and throw it so it lands BEFORE she gets to it then she'll slow down and eat it. 3 is the magic number, you tame her and bring her back to the safehouse like any other survivor - then gift her to katey. ALSO- unrelated but interesting for anyone who doesn't have "the book" this website has just about everything you'd need to know (just about) - check it! www.msxbox-world.com/features/Dead-Rising-2/index.php

Is there free roam?

The whole game is free roam. Basicly, you can say "screw doing the cases", "screw the survivors" and "screw Katey", and just free roam around for 72 IG Hours (about 6.5 hours IRL), build your levels, stats, etc., and then after your 72 hours is up you can restart the story and keep mostly everything you had before.

Started this game up the other day and it is a definite improvement over the first, but the psychopaths are still the worst things ever.
