There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The game is mostly a rehashed version of DR2, with some new psychopaths, survivors, and weapons. Obviously, the dialog is slightly different with a new lead character, but without spoiling too much, the storyline doesn't really diverge until near the end. Then, it gets a lot more interesting.
Ultimately, though, Frank just doesn't really fit as well into this story as Chuck Greene did. This version of Frank doesn't feel like the real thing from Dead Rising 1 or Case West, which is odd since Off the Record and Case West have the same writer. His reactions are less believable, and he spews far too many (grudgingly amusing) one-liners for my taste. He still has the same great voice actor, Terence J. Rotolo, but fans who buy this game just for Frank may be in for a bit of a letdown.
Frank's camera returns as another method of earning experience points and Achievements, but to be honest, I often forgot that it was there. Using it is still fun, though, and the interface has been jazzed up a little since DR1. The sidequest where you can photograph special PP stickers hidden all over the city remains an obscure annoyance.
With that out of the way, Off the Record improves a lot on the DR formula, without changing it. You no longer have to choose missions from a realtime menu, there are checkpoints, and grappling with the series' notoriously annoying transceiver isn't an issue since Frank receives a hands-free headset right off the bat.
The other main addition is Infinity Mode, where you can cast off the chains of the story mode and annoying survivors for special challenges scattered around Fortune City. Unfortunately, my initial taste of Infinity Mode was bitter, because my level was too low to complete challenges. Coming back to it after completing the story mode is more enjoyable, however. The challenges are a fun and occasionally bawdy (like "Stiff Back", where - oh, I'll let you find out) way of testing your zombie slaughtering skills. It does drag a bit between challenges where you have to kill a fixed number of zombies to unlock the next one.
After waiting four years for Dead Rising to come out of its sequel limbo, I thought that I couldn't get enough of the series, but after Off the Record, I think that Capcom Vancouver should perhaps let the world wait a spell before unleashing the zombie horde yet again, and make Dead Rising 3 something really special.
-Frank
-Photo System
-Alterned Story to fit Frank as the main character
-Uranis Zone
-Few New Combo Weapons
-A Few New Survivors (4 or so but they dont do anything special)
-A Few New Pshycos (3 I think)
-Some Returning Pshyco Fights have added features and fight differently
-Sandbox Mode That includes 30 single player challenges & 30 Co-op challenges
-New Code where Zombies who you think are dormant or hiding pop up and scare you It is
effective )
-A Few New Food Items
-A New Final Boss
-Better Graphics on the Zombies Although I didnt notice)
-50 New Achievments if you care
One of the new pshycos is a relative of one of Franks old enemys in DR1. Frank makes mention of his past DR1 days occasionly which I found funny. He also has some smart ass remarks that are amusing. Not all old missions return and some are tweaked. The same map other than Uranis Zone is used. Frank shares alot of the same experiences Chuck did but he also has some of his own. Hes not just a re-skin of Chuck. Think of it as what MVC3 Ultimate will be to MVC3. New things with old things mixed and tweaked.
Top reviews from other countries
There's still a time limit on the missions and the main story, but it's more forgiving. As well, there's also a sandbox mode you can have going alongside with your main game where you can gain experience and cash to spend in either save file.
While the game fixed some of the annoyances from earlier ones, a lot of the gameplay mechanics and bugs can still be incredibly frustrating. The two biggest problems are the zombies sometimes warping about and some inconsistent hit detection. There's nothing worse than trying to bolt for your life with 1 hit point left only to be instantly grabbed by a zombie some 10 feet away (who you were clearly avoid) and having to waggle your joysticks to break free. Sometimes you get off without a scratch, but most of the time it's curtains for Frank.
