Dead Rising 2 is pretty amazing. All the excess from the first game is back with a bloody vengeance. The game has even more zombies on-screen (reportedly over one thousand) and even more bizarre ways to dispatch them. Sadly, none of the more admirable qualities of the bastard Wii-port Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop seemed to have made it into the sequel. While the Wii build of the game lacks in zombie count, it makes up for it by throwing tons of different types of zombies at you, including zombie animals.Their inclusion in the game went a long way to keep the combat from getting stale.
Maybe Dead Rising 2 will pick up some of the better qualities of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop after all. Though this tiger doesn't look particularly zombie-fied, it's certainly kicking some ass. Sadly, that's all I know about it. It could be a boss fight, a cut-scene, a regular enemy, or God damn Travis Touchdown for all I know. Either way, it's awesome.
What do you say? Would you like the tiger to be a regular Dead Rising enemy? Is that too weird? Would it be less weird if it were a zombie tiger?

Hamza has a heart attack CONFIRMED.
ITS GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!
Oh shit, just realized that there could be a "Tiger Genocide" achievement in DR2 for killing enough tigers. Sagat is getting fucking excited about this shit.
Sure, have the fine feline a zombie. It would make more sense than not. Too bad it's not one of those white tigers like in those magic shows. Or a zombie Wayne Newton.
More games should have pet tigers.
I fucking love tigers.
TIIIIIIIIIIGEEEEEEEER!!
Nice story!
1. I thought the title said "TIGER! Dead Rising 2 is done." I'm sad.
2. You got NMH in my Dead Rising. I'm even more sad.
10/10
Well, more copies for everyone else.
character to be strong enough to kick ass
FUUUUUUUU.....
Master Pain, I mean Betty, would be pleased!
Let's hope the game doesn't end up a mess like one of them, eh?
I'm so looking forward to this game. And I'll actually have an HDTV this time around, so my eyes won't be raped by the tiny text.
