Zombie killing fans get ready for Dead Rising 2, which will be hitting store shelves in August. Not only will this new Dead Rising be available on the PS3 in addition to the Xbox 360, it now supports co-op play with players taking the game’s lead with the character, Chuck Greene. In co-op play, players will simply control two Church Greenes, which will allow players to keep all of the spoils of their anti-zombie rampages and earn experience towards leveling up; only the Chuck Greene who hosts the online play-through will be able to save the game's progress. To bring a friend into the game with them, a player has to press right on the direction pad of the controller and send out an invite. Once your friend accepts the invitation a little icon showing a two-way radio pops up in the bottom corner of the screen and you can allow the player to drop in. Typically it would be thought that both plays for would have identical looking characters due to them playing as the same player, that however is not true. In Dead Rising 2, players can accessorize their characters with props and costumes in addition to an array of weapons. These are just a few details about Dead Rising 2 and developers have promised that this one offers many more addicting features than the last.
