Sandbox Mode

Sandbox Mode is the new mode added in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It will be similar to Infinity Mode from the original Dead Rising, however, without a periodic health drain.

From the announcement, it seems to start off like this: Frank West is sitting in a helicopter. The pilot asks him if he's working on his next big scoop. Frank responds with "No way, pal. I'm not here for work. This... is my vacation!" Frank then jumps out of the helicopter.

In Sandbox Mode you can either run around in Single Player or Co-op and do what you want or do various challenges around Fortune City, that go on a leaderboard and you can earn money to spend. From what has been said there are 30 Singe player and 30 Co-op challenges.

And unlike Infinity Mode fromDead Rising 1 the Camera and watch can both be used. The watch can help you get to different challenges around Fortune City and the camera is used in certain challenges like getting a cetain amount of PP. And like Dead Rising 1 the Survivors and Pshycopaths found around Fortune City attack you.
