Allow us to be Frank.
Dead Rising 2’s playable prologue, Case Zero, was released at the end of August for 400 Microsoft Points, selling half a million copies by the end of September. Just four months later, its epilogue, Case West, arrives exclusively on 360 for double that cost. Austerity be damned: that’s the price of progress, folks.
I’m only half-joking – because, while at roughly three hours for a single playthrough, Case West may only be the same size as Zero, it’s also a step forward for the series; an add-on whose improvements to the zombie-splatting formula might well have bumped up its predecessor’s Metacritic rating a few notches.
It starts with a surprise – at least for those who got the ‘best’ ending for Dead Rising 2, as evidently Capcom is treating that game’s Ending A (rather than the proper Overtime denouement) as canon. Professional Thomas Jane impersonator Chuck Greene is rescued from a future of moaning, shuffling and unusually protein-heavy dietary requirements by original protagonist Frank West, and the two set out to infiltrate a facility belonging to evil pharmaceutical nutjobs Umbrell- sorry, Phenotrans.

Capcom easily won the unofficial award for the publisher of the show in Tokyo this year.
