The  is the soundtrack of video game music from Dead Rising 2.

Muzak
Music Composer Oleksa Lozowchuk explained: "Making Muzak is also a lost art, so we worked hard to make DR2's mall music both as inspiring, and as forgettable as possible. The premise was to have it authentically attractive for older / senior people who wanted to feel young again. Depending on the circumstance, the contrast the Muzak provides during gameplay, can be quite comical, especially when the user is in the middle of a zombie onslaught, and they have to pause the game momentarily to answer a phone call. Soothing sounds will wash over them, and prepare them to enter back into the world of Fortune City."

Location themes
Music Composer Oleksa Lozowchuk explained: "The Casinos were themed, so I focused on creating music that would immediately give the user a sense of the space they were entering...A lot of the environmental music had to be written before the locales were fleshed out in the world ... so I'd look at one-line names of places on map legends and throw caution to the wind. Everything is viying for the users 'attention in Fortune City, so we needed attractive music that could add real character to the visually stimulating environments and the elements within."
