The main point to Case West is of course the introduction of Frank West. Instead of starting at Level 0, you start at Level 40 and while some of the game does take this into account, you can take more of a beating than you could at the beginning of Dead Rising, and most fans will breeze through this game in one sitting. The game is also significantly easier than Dead Rising 2.

We were not expecting a Fortune City style game with huge levels and a lengthy campaign, but for ten bucks I think we can expect more than a three hour playthrough. That said, there are new weapons to check out and new enemies which do mix the gameplay up some, but not enough. There are also not as many distractions at Fortune City as the size of the complex is significantly smaller. Even with the survivor missions you will be waiting around for a long period of time waiting for missions to start. In Case West, more than any other Dead Rising game we found ourselves waiting around checking the time on Chucks watch. Due to this, there are only three main cases and most of those cases are very quickly played out.

This is a significant improvement to the series where you are no longer trying to baby sit survivors.Īlso, Case West plays out over the course of one day instead of three. There is no taking survivors back to the safehouse instead they seem to know where to go. Once you reach the survivors you are either sent on a quest (such as finding some body parts they require, or following a note they have left as to where they have gone), or the mission completes instantly. First of all, you still rescue survivors however, without the help of your aide from Dead Rising 2, you are not radioed missions. There are a few changes to note in Case West that could be a prelude to what Dead Rising 3 (if it exists) may contain. It is up to Frank and Chuck to go to the facility and meet the source to get the information. Since the events of the original game, Frank West has been trying to figure out more about the zombie invasion and more specifically, Zombrex, when he comes across someone internal at the Zombrex manufacturer who will provide information. However, Chuck is still not proven innocent. Chuck has successfully left Fortune City and as well as this proven he was not responsible for the zombie outbreak which occurs in that game. We have mixed feelings about whether the extra five bucks is worth it or not.Ĭase West picks up right after the end of Dead Rising 2. Again, it's on Xbox Live Arcade, but this time for ten bucks. After the success of Dead Rising 2, Capcom announced they wanted to bring Frank West, the original protagonist, back, and so Case West was born a game where the storylines of DR1 and DR2 meet. This served as an introduction to the Dead Rising 2 universe and for five bucks gave you a few hours of good gaming.

Last year Capcom released Case Zero for Xbox Live Arcade. First released exclusively on the Xbox 360, many gamers and possibly even Capcom were unaware as to how successful the series would be.
