This is done in an identical way to the original Dead Rising, with players following missions known as cases that play out at specific times over th e three days.
As if running around a zombie infested casino town in order to find Zombrex wasn’t enough to deal with, players must also work alongside the instinctive and story focused news reporter, Rebecca, in order to prove his innocence to the world whilst hunting down the real cause of the zombie outbreak.
