  +
Acting as a prologue to Dead Rising 2, [[Chuck Greene]] flees [[Las Vegas]] with his daughter [[Katey]] after an outbreak occurs, his wife dying at some point during it. In need of fuel and looking to stock up on supplies, Chuck and Katey stop at the gas station in the small desert town of [[Still Creek]]. After giving Katey a dose of Zombrex, Chuck has a look around town after hearing an explosion. Hearing screams and gunfire, he looks outside to see a large plume of smoke over the containment zone further down the road. Then [[Truck Thief|someone]] steals Chuck’s truck, leaving the two stranded, just as zombies begin to infest the town. They take shelter in the gas station and barricade the entrance. With Katey needing a shot of Zombrex very soon, Chuck searches Still Creek for the drug and a way out of town.
−
[[Chuck Greene]] and his daughter [[Katey Greene|Katey]] are fleeing from the outbreak in [[Las Vegas]], where Katey's mother turned into a zombie and bit Katey. Chuck hears on the radio that the military has set up a 50 mile perimeter around Las Vegas, which includes a nearby town called Still Creek, 46 miles away from the overrun city. The military is planning on quarantining the entire zone and screening everyone at the blockades, one of which is at the eastern end of the town.
  
   
  +
After traveling through the small town, Chuck then discovers a road block with an overturned ambulance, which has Zombrex inside. During his search for Zombrex, he overhears a broadcast from a dead soldier's radio, saying that a backup quarantine crew will arrive at Still Creek by 9 PM. Chuck finds a motorbike, which he determines can be repaired. Loading it up on a trash cart, He takes the motorbike back to the gas station. Chuck examines the motorbike and determines that he will need five parts to repair the bike. As he searches town for the bike parts, he finds a handful of [[Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Survivors|survivors]] in need of assistance, including the local [[Dick Jones|pawnshop owner]], who offers to sell his wares when rescued, including a spare wheel. Chuck meets [[Jason Wong]] and [[Archie Eaton]] fending off zombies behind the Department Store, with Jason giving Chuck the handle bar he uses for a weapon. After collecting all five parts of the bike, he repairs the bike just in time to give his daughter a dose of Zombrex.
−
After Chuck and Katey arrive in the desert town of [[Still Creek]], they stop at a [[Brockett Gas Station|gas station]] for supplies. Chuck gets out, and places his hand near the grill of his truck, presumably hot. Their truck and supply of [[Zombrex]] is soon stolen by a survivor. Unfortunately for Chuck, the last of the soldiers at the blockade have been killed, leaving him and his daughter trapped in the overrun town without help. Whilst searching an overturned ambulance for Zombrex, he overhears from the radio of a dead soldier that the military plans on taking back the town come nightfall; now Chuck not only has to survive, but has to find an escape route as soon as possible, or risk losing his daughter to the military.
  
  +
  +
Immediately after [[Zombrex 1 (Case Zero)|giving his daughter Zombrex]], he must fight a psychotic [[Jed Wright|mechanic]]. As Chuck and his daughter begin to leave Still Creek, the military arrives. Chuck barely manages to escape town with his daughter as the military clean the town of undead.
  +
  +
As Chuck and his daughter are driving along the desert road, they come upon the stolen truck, and the thief dead in the driver's seat. Chuck collects their belongings and his motorcross jacket. He puts on the jacket, then gets back on the motorbike, and they ride away.

In addition to finding Zombrex and bike parts, he also rescues several [[Still Creek Survivors|survivors]]; however, he also meets a psychotic [[Jed Wright|mechanic]], who knows Katey is infected and wants to kill her for his "trophy" collection, and Chuck is forced to kill him to defend his daughter. Just as the military arrives, Chuck is able to escape town with his daughter, while the rest of the survivors in the safe house are collected and brought to safety in military custody.

Later on, Chuck comes across his truck, with the [[Truck Thief|driver]] that stole it dead inside from unknown causes. Large amounts of steam is seen emanating from the grill, the engine overheated. Chuck gets off the bike and goes to the truck to scavenge their supplies; their supply of Zombrex, Katey's backpack, a picture of Katey, and his Motocross jacket. Chuck puts on the jacket, gets back on the bike with Katey, and rides off to an unknown location where the military cannot find him.

''Dead Rising 2: Case Zero'' has earned generally positive reviews.
  +
  +
Capcom announced that ''Case Zero'' had the best week-one sales of any content available on Xbox Live Arcade. "As of (September 7, 2010) the Leaderboards show that over 328,290 players have given ''Case Zero'' a go, and that's in less than 7 days - an amazing feat. Money wise, assuming Microsoft take a 30% cut on the game, Capcom could well have made $ 1,149,015 off of it for this week alone."<ref>Langley, Ryan [XBLA: Dead Rising: Case 0 Sees Over 300,000 Players In Its First Week, What Does That Mean For The Future?], ''GameBytes'', (September 7, 2010).</ref><ref>Molina, Brett.

  +
  +
CBS News stated, "For a sequel to a four-year-old game, ''Dead Rising 2: Case Zero'' is surprisingly lacking in innovation. With the lack of either offline or online co-op, we also don't get a chance to try out ''Dead Rising 2's'' other major selling point as well, which diminishes ''Case Zero's'' overall re-playability value...And by the time ''Dead Rising 2'' hits stores, you'll likely never play ''Case Zero'' again. The story is a bit of a throwaway in the grand scheme of things, so you will not be missing out if you choose to skip this one, but if you've been itching to get your hands on some third-person zombie action right now and cannot wait for the full release, then ''Dead Rising 2: Case Zero'' is a great little slice of just exactly what you're looking for."<ref>Cho, Brian.

*There is a way to get outside of the map when you are in the safe area. Open the door near the bathroom so it opens outward (toward the junkyard). Stand on the barrels near the door and jump on top of the door. This may take a few tries. Then climb on top of the shed and you will be outside of the map. Since you are technically still in the safe area, you cannot attack, and there are some spots (namely the road) that if you walk on them you will reappear outside the safe area near the van that Dick the shop owner stands on. You can walk on the road that Chuck rides his motorcycle on in ending A, though there are some invisible walls that take some effort to get around.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
Cases and Missions • Walkthrough • Map • Stores • Survivors • Weapons • Food • Magazines • Clothing


Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is an exclusive downloadable game for Xbox Live Arcade, released on August 31, 2010 in North America and Europe. The game's release in Japan was late, due to concern about the game's content.[1]

The game costs $4.99 on the Xbox Live Marketplace and bridges the link between the events of the first Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2. It is one hour long, equivalent to 12 hours in Dead Rising time. In February 2014, the game became free to download for users with an Xbox Live Gold Membership for the month. 

The game takes place two years after the events of the original Dead Rising, and three years before the events of Dead Rising 2. It was re-released with the Dead Rising Collection.

Gameplay Features

  • Chuck will still be able to level up and craft weapons, but is only able to reach level 5.
  • There are only 9 combo weapons available.
  • There are 10 saveable survivors.
  • An important feature of Case Zero is the ability to take any progress learned by the player (such as levels and weapons) and transfer them to Dead Rising 2. This allowed Xbox 360 players to get a head start on leveling up before Dead Rising 2 was released.
  • Exclusive items, including costumes which can be unlocked for Dead Rising 2 by playing Case Zero, including Overalls, the Hunting Jacket, the Diner Waitress and the Bowling Shirt.
  • Unlike both Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2, there is no transceiver. Instead, Bob Blackrock announces any survivors that he's seen in a location around town.

Story Mode

Case Zero takes place over a 12-hour (in game) period. There is no other mode available.

Story

Further information: Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Walkthrough

Acting as a prologue to Dead Rising 2, Chuck Greene flees Las Vegas with his daughter Katey after an outbreak occurs, his wife dying at some point during it. In need of fuel and looking to stock up on supplies, Chuck and Katey stop at the gas station in the small desert town of Still Creek. After giving Katey a dose of Zombrex, Chuck has a look around town after hearing an explosion. Hearing screams and gunfire, he looks outside to see a large plume of smoke over the containment zone further down the road. Then someone steals Chuck’s truck, leaving the two stranded, just as zombies begin to infest the town. They take shelter in the gas station and barricade the entrance. With Katey needing a shot of Zombrex very soon, Chuck searches Still Creek for the drug and a way out of town.

After traveling through the small town, Chuck then discovers a road block with an overturned ambulance, which has Zombrex inside. During his search for Zombrex, he overhears a broadcast from a dead soldier's radio, saying that a backup quarantine crew will arrive at Still Creek by 9 PM. Chuck finds a motorbike, which he determines can be repaired. Loading it up on a trash cart, He takes the motorbike back to the gas station. Chuck examines the motorbike and determines that he will need five parts to repair the bike. As he searches town for the bike parts, he finds a handful of survivors in need of assistance, including the local pawnshop owner, who offers to sell his wares when rescued, including a spare wheel. Chuck meets Jason Wong and Archie Eaton fending off zombies behind the Department Store, with Jason giving Chuck the handle bar he uses for a weapon. After collecting all five parts of the bike, he repairs the bike just in time to give his daughter a dose of Zombrex.

Immediately after giving his daughter Zombrex, he must fight a psychotic mechanic. As Chuck and his daughter begin to leave Still Creek, the military arrives. Chuck barely manages to escape town with his daughter as the military clean the town of undead.

As Chuck and his daughter are driving along the desert road, they come upon the stolen truck, and the thief dead in the driver's seat. Chuck collects their belongings and his motorcross jacket. He puts on the jacket, then gets back on the motorbike, and they ride away.

Endings

Main article: Endings (Case Zero)

There are 6 possible endings that the player can achieve in Case Zero. The final ending will reflect on Chuck's actions during his stay in Still Creek.

v · d · e

Visit the Endings in the Dead Rising 2: Case Zero/Gallery to view images and find more detailed information about the endings in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

There are six possible endings with three possible cut-scenes.[5]

Ending Accomplishments Cutscene PP bonus Video
Case 0-3 Return bike Give Katey Zombrex Complete bike Get on bike Escape town
A Checkmark Checkmark Checkmark Checkmark Checkmark Escape town 15,000
Chuck successfully builds the motorbike and navigates through the town, now infested with troops. Afterwards you escape into a tunnel and head on out back into the world. On the way, the truck is found with the dead thief inside. Chuck takes his jacket, Katey's bag, a photo of Katey and three boxes of Zombrex from the car. Then Chuck heads back to the bike, gives Katey her bag and drives away. All cases had to have been completed, Katey has to be given her Zombrex, and the bike has to be done to achieve this ending.
B Checkmark Checkmark Checkmark Checkmark Not done Katey quarantined 10,000
valign=top
Chuck finishes the bike and gives Katey her Zombrex, but doesn't get away in time. This ending is very similar to ending D where the bike is not built. To obtain this ending, Katey has to be given Zombrex, all cases has to be done, the bike must be finished (one difference from Ending D) but you mustn't escape when on the bike, instead let the time run out.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero has earned generally positive reviews.

Capcom announced that Case Zero had the best week-one sales of any content available on Xbox Live Arcade. "As of (September 7, 2010) the Leaderboards show that over 328,290 players have given Case Zero a go, and that's in less than 7 days - an amazing feat. Money wise, assuming Microsoft take a 30% cut on the game, Capcom could well have made $ 1,149,015 off of it for this week alone."[17][18]

CBS News stated, "For a sequel to a four-year-old game, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is surprisingly lacking in innovation. With the lack of either offline or online co-op, we also don't get a chance to try out Dead Rising 2's other major selling point as well, which diminishes Case Zero's overall re-playability value...And by the time Dead Rising 2 hits stores, you'll likely never play Case Zero again. The story is a bit of a throwaway in the grand scheme of things, so you will not be missing out if you choose to skip this one, but if you've been itching to get your hands on some third-person zombie action right now and cannot wait for the full release, then Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is a great little slice of just exactly what you're looking for."[19]

  • If the game is left on the pause screen for some time, the mall music from Dead Rising will play.
  • Ending A takes place directly outside the town on the road that Chuck drove on during the intro.
  • In the Dead Rising universe, there is a game called Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, during the zombie outbreak in Fortune City Left Hand Lance blogged on Tape it or Die:
"Oh, yeah, I also managed to jack myself an xbox and downloaded me some Dead rising 2 Case Zero, which is kind of a backstory for Chuck Greene (the dude what caused the outbreak). they pumped that one out pretty quickly. almost seems like an exploitation of chuck………a Chuxploitation, Lol! still, i’m not complaining. if there’s any way to relax after killing ome zombies in real life, it’s killing them in virtual life. LOL."[20]
  • There are some posters around town that are a reference to Valve's Left 4 Dead series. The poster acts as a campaign poster with a title and quote, along with the series' logo (the hand).

  • There are several bugs in the game, see Dead Rising 2 Bugs#Case Zero.
  • As seen in the unused game text for Dead Rising 2, apparently there was supposed to be a 911 call that Chuck could overhear or witness, or somehow be presented to the player through other purposes, sometime in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero:
Las Vegas 911 what is the...
Woman They're everywhere! It's spreading!
Las Vegas 911 Ma'am, you're going to have to calm down and tell me exactly what is...
Woman They're coming! Please!! They're going to - GOD!!! NO!!!!!!
Las Vegas 911 Ma'am, I'm contacting dispatch now. What is your location?!
Woman No, stay away! NO!
Las Vegas 911 Ma'am? Ma'am?!
Woman No, no.... not again...[21]
