User blog comment:D.R. fan 47/Personal opinion on DR 2./@comment-3075737-20101026013534

I agree with this blog post... I loved the first Dead Rising. I would beat the game over and over, but would never become bored. In the first game, you didn't have to do the story missions to get a good ending, which I liked. You could save survivors and escape with Ed in the helicopter. In the second game, if every mission is not completed, the survivors and Chuck die in the ending of the game. It felt like there was less stuff to do because of the lack of freedom. Also, Rebecca, my second favorite character, died. In the first game, I liked every major character, while I didn't care for half of the ones in the second. Dead Rising 2 was really a let-down in my opinion. I want Frank and Isabella back, Stacy was alright, but I could not stand Chuck and especially Katey...
