Jack Red reviews Supernatural (show) 2005-2020

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, last night the series finale episode of the show Supernatural aired. This might come as a surprise, I wasn't a fan from day one. In fact, when I noticed the show a few years ago. It was during early season 12, which meant for a long period I had to get caught up. Thanks to both Netflix and The CW's website making that process a lot easier in the long run.

Supernatural was a long running horror, fantasy show about two brothers that traveled around the United States. These two face so many different creatures & gods. You literately can say anything you possibly could name, they already done it scenario. This was the last show to started on the previous channel that has since been The CW channel.

I should point out a few major spoilers are likely to show it's ugly head during my review. I recommend if you haven't fully watched every episode of this show do not read beyond this point.  You have been warned since I will touch up on many things. This is one of the very few horror shows to fit my vision of Halloween very well.

The closest thing I personally seen to Supernatural is The Twilight Zone. Both those horror shows really sick with you in many ways. Mostly the brothers did with demons & ghosts among many things through out the show. You get to see in many plain of existence as well as some of the parallel universes. Death is a small thing to a handful of characters.

I will be honest, there's only two angel characters I liked. Unlike, you count Jack whose a half breed of human and angel from his arch angel father Lucifer. There's only one demon in particular that everyone loves. Crowley is hands down the most interesting villain character they ever had. Yes, later on he becomes an alley to the brothers even going out of his way to sacrifice his own life to piss off Lucifer.

Back to my favorite two angel characters. Everyone loves Castiel, he is their biggest ally. Let's be honest a particular episode made it clear he was their best friend. The other one I will be honest I originally didn't like until more of him got revealed. Now, I think him one of the funniest characters. By now you should have some idea who I'm talking about.

The arch angel Gabriel whose the youngest of four arch angels. He even got tortured thanks to Loki as in the mischievous god himself for a few years. I think one thing I like about this show is they use creatures & gods you may never heard of prior to watching those episodes. Of course, at times they play some great songs the series finale being no exception to that.

Alright now we're heading into very big spoiler territory. If you chose to ignore my last warning. You still have one last chance to leave or be ready to have this blown right in your faces. Sadly, I can not wait for an eternity. Trust me, this is very mind blowing stuff I'm about to discuss right here in my own review of this show.

It turned out everything that has ever happened to anyone was all planned by God aka Chuck. Yes, all the ridiculousness these two brothers went through was all his doing. I do think a bit funny talking about the ending since we got it in two very different episodes. For those who already seen both episodes knows absolutely what I'm talking about.

The second to final episode, God really shows how much of a prick he truly is. He removes most life off the planet just to make em with Jack to suffer. He erases a poor, innocent dog out of existence right in front of Dean on purpose. Then, he goes out of his way to revive Lucifer of all people to help him. Keep in mind, if you haven't seen episodes with Lucifer.

The nicest but more direct way to describe this arch angel. Oh hell I'll just say it brutally honest style, he's very nasty, liar that feels like he can do anything & get away with it kind of person. This guy, really has a reputation to screw over people with absolutely no regard of their emotions at all. Michael with Adam whose body he currently possessing was secretly plotting to help his father.

Michael ended up with their help killing Lucifer making that his second death on the show. Keep in mind, the episode before this Billie was the second Grim Reaper got murdered by The Entity. The following episode, Lucifer killed a reaper named Betty to make her into the new Death. He later killed her while the death book for Chuck was opened.

This show went through three Deaths is pretty crazy alright. Oh yeah, the real craziness in that episode haven't get got started yet. The Windchesters came up with a plan that shouldn't have worked as well it did. Michael did later betray them to only get directly killed by God himself. Now God was going to quickly kill Sam & Dean but chose to beat em up instead.

It turned out due to the previous fail kill attempt that did kill Jack temporary left an side effect. Where he was absorbing energy including the deaths of both Michael & Lucifer. So when God was beating those two up the entire time, Jack was getting a lot of God's power. He chose to steal what's left of his power to become the new God.

This particular episode felt like a true final episode in terms of this show. But the actual final episode had a more emotional end to the story following that. Dean died during taking out a small nest for vampires. This included an old friend of theirs way back from season 1. Sam ended up living up to old age with a son.

I will be honest, watching Sam dying for the last time was pretty emotional for me. I actually cried tears of joy for many reasons. The Windchesters had a lot of friends and those they call family long on the way. There's so many different story styles that it's difficult to list them all in place. There's stuff that happens that you wouldn't believe happens on this show.

This is one of those must watch on Halloween shows without questions. You could do marathons of many creatures or even god theme episodes. Honestly, these two guys has literately been through the worst of most situations imaginable. There's so much stuff to cover, I would be here for months to fully discuss it all.

This show already went through a few apocalypses. Yes as in the end of days, apocalypse. They got to meet some of the rarest beings in existence as well. Both characters have became creatures to some degree in the past. Supernatural is a show filled with many surprises to keep you busy. I personally don't think there ever be another show like this on TV or web show wise.

Jack Red reviews Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I think it's time to review more games off of Sega Genesis Mini. I just made sure if I reviewed them before but nope I haven't. Now I haven't finished Castle of Illusion remake neither played the 8bit versions. I also haven't played Land of Illusion & Legend of Illusion which are the final two games of the series.

I will be Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion on Sega Genesis. You're getting two Mickey Mouse game reviews in one. Oh wait, World of Illusion also has Donald Duck I guess I shouldn't quack at it. I will start with Castle of Illusion for a few reasons. It was the first entry in Illusion series. It also the first game of that series I played a long time ago.

I didn't get to play World of Illusion until I gotten an Sega Genesis Mini, a long time I know. Both games are classic platformers that heavily centers around Mickey Mouse. World of Illusion has a more interesting view of illusions as well as using magic in some areas. Let's be honest, both these games looks & sounds absolutely amazing that still holds up incredibly well.

World of Illusion can be played coop of two players. But as one player you can choose who you want to be. Some parts of the stages have paths strictly for a particular character. All paths leads to the bosses respectively. Castle of Illusion has some clever stage designs. I actually prefer Castle of Illusion bosses more.

I kinda felt World of Illusion is much easier in comparison. But a few mechanics will get you killed if you aren't careful. Castle of Illusion is more about Mickey rescuing Minnie from a witch. In World of Illusion, both characters wants to stop Pete the Great. It is easier to memorize majority both games. Castle of Illusion also gives you two ways to defend yourself from enemies.

Both games aren't very lengthy. I felt Disney & Sega did amazing job with both games. The animations are still quite good. I felt Mickey was more fun in Castle of Illusion. Both games are very straight forward for the most part. Although, World of Illusion does more directly change up the game play.

Castle of Illusion is a master piece. World of Illusion is also a master piece just to me not as great as Castle of Illusion. I felt the challenge was more balanced, better boss fights and more interesting surprises within stages. Also, despite not giving you as much story as World of Illusion does. It still works to it's advantage in the end.

I do recommend both these Disney games especially to Mickey Mouse fans. World of Illusion is still a great game even with it's flaws. I just felt Castle of Illusion is more I'm looking for in a license game well one that doesn't suck. Overall, it's no question I prefer Castle of Illusion way more in the long run.

No more Unus Annus

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, for the past year two YouTubers Markiplier and his friend Ethan chose to do videos every day through out a whole year. They done some truly questionable stuff I'm amazed YouTube didn't remove. Unus Annus in another language means living up to a year. Every single video ends with the clock ticking with what time is left.

I am using loop holes so neither Mark or Ethan can make me take it down. I am not going to fully reveal everything they done. I may mention bits or pieces of some those videos. Otherwise, I am mostly talking about the very concept itself. They both chose to start a new YouTube channel with the goal of ending it in a year.

Now that alone tells you what ultimately their goal is from the very beginning. They revealed a major reason they done this is to do videos that isn't their usual stuff from boredom. Some of these videos are informational, interesting to the point you'll learn stuff both good or bad. They have eaten & drank stuff not pleasant.

They are ending it all during a live stream which I don't think ever happened before. If it has, can anyone tell me who done it first please thanks in advance. Unus Annus is mostly out the wall comedy web show that doesn't even take it seriously. Even when they do get serious at times. They met a lot of great people through out a year.

There was a period where they couldn't be together in person. They quickly found a way to continue what they started. COV-19 wasn't deadly enough to kill off Unus Annus. Let's be honest, some of these videos will forever leave imagines you wish you could unseen, a particular costume video. I love they chose to exactly what they wanted that wasn't necessary they done on their own channels.

This quickly became one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in history. I don't think it's just because of Markiplier himself. There's a lot of thought behind a lot of these videos. Some of them really gets you thinking of many things very differently. This channel is so unusual yet unique in it's overall design.

Unus Annus has a few hours left as of this blog entry. There's virtually no point to link anything directly Unus Annus here. There's a lot of recurring themes including a lot of similar concept videos. I am not saying they were running out of ideas. When restrictions relating to COD-19 took effect, it greatly altered their plans.

The fact, they still wanted to continue even then bravo for not giving up guys. There's people wishing they could do something like Unus Annus. This channel is so special in terms of having two friends enjoying even the bad things in those videos. At the same time, they are still friends end of the day.

A little hint what my favorite Unus Annus is. It involves words now saying a little more could allow them to force me to take this down. So I'm playing smart here like Markiplier smart lol. These guys had a rather interesting journey within a year. The journey may seem like an excuse to start early on doing their bucket lists.

I can assure you it's much deeper than that. These guys are clearly entertainers at heart. They truly love their fans, they already know what majority of them felt about this channel ending. I personally think they would make some sort of continuation of Unus Annus. Simply doing it at all was a commitment.

It never was oh you can chicken out that's it kind of thing. No it was more of you agreed to it now suffer the punishments when it paid due. Unus Annus is sorta a fantasy most of us viewers have. Especially those who aren't technically YouTube stars. I can speak for those people, the risks alone isn't worth it.

We really wish we could do many things Unus Annus has done. I know a lot of it involve money but also the concept of doing some of this for fun purposes alone. Unus Annus is something that's like The Angry Video Game Nerd where in one way or another it's all a part of us. We all want to do those things and more.

I will give them for fully commit to the purpose behind their channel. It isn't easy to make videos everyday especially when you already have a successful YouTube channel. It is a lot of work to sorta out especially within a year. Clearly, both Mark & Ethan were willing to test how well they can multi task.

You can tell I have a lot of respect for both of them as well as this soon to be gone channel. In a way, this feels like an unauthorized broadcasts. You know shows or movies playing on an unofficial service. Especially those allowing stuff that wouldn't been allowed on actual channels on Television.

Well that's what Unus Annus felt like to me. They are taking a lot of risks with some of these videos. I don't even think I'll hear from anyone whose involved with those videos. I will say this message to both Mark and Ethan in a way that's almost like me directly saying it right in their faces.

Mark, Ethan you guys sure went out on a limb to give us such entertainment. Even with the death of Unus Annus, the overall experience ultimately made you both better people. I'm sure in time, your fans will still be there for you both. In all of us in our own way, Unus Annus lives on. It never can truly die, in fact it will suddenly become that of an phoenix rising from the ashes.

Honestly, Unus Annus was something I watched a lot with my wife. There's times we both gotten great laughs. Sometimes, I really needed it after a while. Yes, they do often talk about running out of time as well as death itself. But that's a given since the very beginning of it's existence. Thus, them never saying it was going to end or any mention of death at all isn't true to itself.

Unus Annus is something you should watch while you still have time. Yes, I made a few Unus Annus memes. If they asked me to take em down, I would out of respect alone. This is something the world will never be the same once it's gone. It was something that brought people together. Almost like one of many things people consider to be the universal language.

For those that doesn't know what that means. There are things people are into that most people are deeply passionate about. Unus Annus is something that will continue to inspire people long after it's gone. Honestly, I'm happy to spend a few days doing mostly getting caught up on their videos. I am not even going to criticize videos I don't like because there isn't much I didn't like at all.

The overall ratio of their videos are quite good. Some of them I would say are very rewatchable. There's little to no real filter within their actions. You actually can think of this like being free while what some people consider what freedom is like or thinking like a child. They openly chose to do things they knew a lot of people aren't even expecting.

Let's be honest, trying to predict the unpredictable here is virtually like trying to make sense of it all. We all already knew that's never going to happen lol. It is no secret, these two guys are creative people. Amy whose one of the camera people came up with a lot of those videos herself. She also does live streams making pots.

I know it's time to end it. No not like that I don't even know any of them lol. I felt this was something worth getting into while it was still around. I will miss watching their videos until the day I die. Unus Annus isn't about death but getting to truly live your life. If you aren't truly living your life, you're already dead.

Looking back on Dead by Daylight vs. Friday the 13th: The Game

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, originally this look back was going to happen on this past Halloween. I wanted to wait until the new killer for DbD was revealed. Earlier today, we will be getting The Twins. Which is interesting in a sense, most fans aren't even aware of. Soul at Stake, which is a Chinese knock off of DbD already has a devil called The Twins.

Anyway, I'm not here to add salt to that. A few years ago, I did a full on comparison between Dead by Day and Friday the 13th: The Game. Very soon, the servers for most online players will be shut down for good. I knew this was coming but it is kinda sad this game over a lawsuit got it's potential cut short.

My opinion on which is better isn't going to change. Dead by Daylight has something for everyone. A lot of changes has came to Dead by Daylight greatly increasing replay value. A simple comparison now possibly a one sided argument. Friday the 13th: The Game did have some amazing kill animations.

It still the best license game on that franchise without question. It still has a strong fan base that supports the game. Dead by Daylight is one of those games you must play on Halloween. Honestly, I was happy to attempt what became one of the biggest recent horror game debates ever. I mostly chosen DbD over F13 because it was balanced better with multiple killers.

The fact, they had the balls to do Pyramid Head from Silent Hill series. Now that alone is a great reason I wouldn't pick F13 over it. Now, they done two siblings that you can switch between to hunt survivors is insane. A lot more interesting outfits in the long run as well. The point is F13 may done a few things better.

At the same time, I can't deny it had problems that hunt me wanting to play it. Especially during online play is not a rememberable experience. Dead by Daylight has a lot of complexity within it's design, I love that. Honestly, Dead by Daylight is a game that forever changed the genre of horror games.

Not only that, if you already owned it on PS4 or Xbox One. You automatically own it with everything you have on PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S models. There's more ways to earn blood points to help leveling your characters. The achievements kept getting competitive but also helps you get better at the game after getting crossplay feature.

Jack Red reviews Blade the Iron Cross (2020)

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, thanks to Full Moon for temporary making Blade the Iron Cross on a particular website free to watch for a short period of time. As many of you know I'm a huge Puppet Master fan. I wasn't sure when I was going to see this. I am so thankful to see this movie.

Blade the Iron Cross is a sequel to the Axis trilogy taking place a few years later. This time, only Blade gets used. I know to a lot of people that would disappoint them. At the same time, they did a great job making that work to their advantage. There's some violent deaths in this movie.

At first, I wasn't happy how Blade's head looked in the movie. But as I was watching the movie, it kinda worked better than I expected. There's a mess up scene that caught me off guard. As much I want to spoil that particular scene, it would affect you enjoying the movie.

The story itself was better than I expected as well. Among some of the newer Puppet Master movies, it has one of the best acting casts without question. Warning to the young audience who isn't old enough to watch this. There is a lot of nudity in this movie, you have been warned.

I felt they did a great job making an concept that easily could've went south for Full Moon. Once again, some of the Nazis want an undead army. I might as well make this joke before I can't anymore. When did Puppet Master suddenly became Wolfenstein lol. Blade the Iron Cross is a great low budget horror movie.

This is also a part of a bizarre line up of movies. Roughly half of them are sequels to their movies. Maybe it's just me, I felt this was going to be the best of them. You can excuse some usage of the special effects. Like those that made Blade faster than he actually is or the shocking people effect.

I do recommend this movie to fellow Puppet Master fans. It is a sign, this franchise is far from dying off. There's still some more possibilities they could do in the near future. It already longer than Child's Play/Chucky series. Despite, the original came out a year after the original Child's Play movie.

For Blade in particular, this has some of his finest kills to date. Sure, it isn't as bloody as the previous Puppet Master movies. At the same time, there is little to not the point behind this particular movie. This was more about having one of those characters stand out.

It does bag the question, when will the Nazis stop trying to steal their secret. A lot of them died by their hands. I kinda hope we get more spin off Puppet Master stuff. Like they need to give a spin off comic to Torch. Regardless, this movie is hands down a great way to enjoy yourself after a hard day's work.

Why Dead Rising 4 failed?

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, Dead Rising series is among my favorite game franchises of all time. But there's no hiding from it, most the fan base strongly agrees that Dead Rising 4 sucked. The real question is why did it suck so bad? There's a lot of factors people pointed out in videos but I rather do this differently to help stand out from those.

The first big problem is they changed Frank West way too much. I understand why they consider changing his voice actor. But they didn't seem to understand Frank themselves. Considering, they did a great job with Dead Rising 2 games. Directly with how they handled Frank prior was great.

Removing the time limit altogether would've worked if more things were there to help with it's replay value. Sadly, even considering those doesn't help DR4's case much. I actually felt Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii having separate time limits worked way better.

There's obviously little to no real interactive in this game. Which is something that was widely known in this series to have. I can understand why they renamed the bosses from Psychopaths to Maniacs. But at the same time, even with an update to improve em. Let's be brutally honest here didn't actually make them any better.

Most bosses in that game were slightly tougher regular enemies. Only story bosses have cut scenes also took away from them. Not to mention, there's little to no boss themes doesn't help things either. You don't get anything worth talking about from any boss fight at all.

The direction of the story was lackluster, cheap & let's face it pretty boring as well as predictable. The Exosuit seem like an interesting concept on paper but terribly executed here. Even the extra Zero Exosuit doesn't help that argument much. They removed the multiple endings from the campaign itself was a horrible idea.

I get they were low on time trying to play it safe. Well a little too safe for what should've happened. Removing those took away a lot of replay value. What makes this even worse is for the full conclusion. Frank Rising which is in this game's case Overtime Mode. You have to pay for that?

In it's defense, I actually like how they went about this mode. It does have a few endings making it a reversible of the usual way things go. They increased the leveling from level 50 to level 100. The grind could be tedious until you come across a trick that also helps giving you a ridiculous amount of money.

The simple fact is they didn't put much effort into what you'll actually get during the leveling process. I actually felt Capcom Heroes done that better. There's no need to apologize from this point on. This game has the franchise's worst zombies yet in my opinion.

Yes, that's also considering zombie enemies added in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. I was deeply and I strongly meant deeply disappointed with it's Season Pass. I was even more let down with Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf. I'm not a fan of gold to begin with.

The title itself sounded like a follow up to Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + a (alpha symbol). Yet it really was misleading altogether. You just give a stupid golf mini game that lacks any real depth at all. Even with the unlockables making it a pure waste of your money.

The small dlcs which is strangely not included in Xbox One's Season Pass deal. Well only Ugly Winter Sweater shouldn't even been a paid dlc outfit. The only excluded dlc worth talking about is Slicecycle. The rest are simple, uninspired stuff that are just once again a waste of money.

The fact they make you pay for changing holiday themes for the game is also stupid too. Especially it doesn't even cover Halloween. Which would've been fitting in this case since it's a horror game. Hands down, the best dlc it has to offer is Capcom Heroes.

Now that was more of a successor to that Xbox One exclusive DR3 dlc. You get a lot of Capcom characters including shadow versions to play as. There's more cabinet locations than those of the Exosuits. Yes, the damage you'll take is a bit on the cheap side.

They also hid references to many of their franchises too. Dead Rising 4 lacking mixed drinks made it more difficult to survive. They don't just give you more health. They also temporary give you an ability. You can drink a couple of them to gain several of those effects at the same time.

The length of the campaign since they technically little to nothing stopping you from completing it from start to finish. This particular case meaning you don't have to wait around until you can do something like in the other games. It just felt like something important or could've been fun missing altogether.

Can you believe they greatly reduced the amount of weapons in this game? Dead Rising 3 has a lot of weapons including super combo weapons. Dead Rising 4 clearly missed an opportunity to making things crazier in the right direction. The simple fact trying to make any combo weapon or vehicle is done so poorly.

Especially how much fun it was done in Dead Rising 3. There's absolutely no excuse for this at all!!! Dead Rising 4 doesn't even feel like an actual Dead Rising game. Most of it's jokes fall flat fast. They did add more Capcom character costumes for free which was nice I guess.

There was no real thought with the collectibles. Yeah getting the blue prints allows you to build more combo weapons or vehicles. But it just felt like you were just wasting your time than actually having fun. I think a major reason this game sucked was a major lack of coop.

Oh ok, the multiplayer mode is coop theme. Sadly, it just felt like a major wasted opportunity. Let me explain, you can consider this my review of it if you wish. There's four episodes that's broken up into two sections each. The boss fights are once again nothing to write home again.

There are a few exclusive stuff you only have in this mode but none of that actually stands out at all. In fact, this mode is heavily randomized what it wants you to do. This also affects where the save house will be. Sadly, they only focused on using the mall which already sucked to begin with.

I don't think there's a leveling limit either. One sorta good thing I can say is you do level up faster. Considering the previous game depending on which version you have. Most versions have four shorter dlc campaigns that all follow a different character. Now this alone is way better than most of what DR4 has to offer.

Dead Rising 4 is simply not balanced at all. They forced in two harder difficulties that might've been too unforgiving just to shut up the fans. Thankfully, we gotten those for free too. Let's be honest, just having Capcom Heroes I would've been fine. Frank Rising was an interesting concept that worked better than most modes.

Overall, Dead Rising 4 is one of the worst games. Not just in Dead Rising series. Not just in the beat em up genre. But also from Capcom themselves, they should be shame for making this. Honestly, Dead Rising 4 is a poor excuse of a game. Little to no real fun there's no wonder why this failed so bad even leading to the company making em to get shut downed.

Ways Dead Rising 2: Off the Record was better than the original version

 Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, I know Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is mixed received among the fans. There's people who don't like it that mostly see it as a quick cheap revision while others like myself love it. Most people I talked to about this series often told me it was among their favorites.

Honestly, this is my favorite Dead Rising game. Sometimes, what your favorite game in any franchise may be actually turned out to be everyone's favorite. There's plenty of changes in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record from the original version. I felt I should talk about reasons why I prefer the non canon version much more.

I do like Chuck Greene but he isn't that interesting to me. It's hard to compete with Frank West well except in DR4 where he sucked. But it was an excuse to replay the game as another character. Kinda like how some lock-on games for Sonic 3 & Knuckles in a sense.

Sandbox Mode is mixed because it has challenges that isn't necessary well thought out or much fun. Especially after you play the challenges in Dead Rising 3. At least, you'll have more ways to earn a lot of money. They increased the amount you'll get from ATM machines especially using the money hacker device.

This mode is in my opinion what Infinity Mode of Dead Rising 1 should've been like. You can fully explore the map to your likening. There's a new location that's also mixed. I actually like it a lot because it's a theme park. You can use rides to kill zombies or play some carnival games.

They added more outfits, weapons and a few vehicles. Yes the new combo weapons came from Dead Rising 2: Case West. Some of those are still among my favorites. They replaced Leon who kinda sucked overall with a crazy version of Chuck Greene. This was a more proper boss fight in comparison.

It also happens the closest we had two main characters facing each other. Before Nick fought Hunter then Adam later on in Dead Rising 3. They replaced Arthur's suit of armor for an Protoman costume. This is up to debate which you prefer. But Protoman not only comes with a weapon but also a shield too.

Arthur costume completely lacked a weapon altogether. In Dead Rising 4, Arthur is more to my likening personally. Parts of the story are more difficult to take seriously. I actually prefer Stacey boss fight over Sullivan's. I know a lot of people do prefer Sullivan's boss fight.

Mostly due to Stacey using an machine to kill you. This officially happens in canon within Dead Rising 3. They added Evan the Clown whose the brother of Adam the Clown. Just because you play as Frank, the game is more of a direct sequel to the original game.

Yes, Frank doesn't seen to have the same level of importance as Chuck had in his version. I also prefer moves Frank has in comparison to Chuck's. Another great reason is you probably knew Dead Rising 2 had dlc outfits. Each outfit affects game play in some way.

In Frank's version, you get four new dlc outfits that also affect the game play. But you also can get the previous dlc outfits hidden in that version of the game too. Now that's eight costumes that directly affect the game play you can have. Some achievements that both share are easier to get in this version as well.

I actually liked when you go to the map screen, you'll see the in game timer. This is important because in most games of that franchise. You had to use the watch to see the time. Which can put you at an disadvantage against enemies. Also, it's easier to plan around what to do in this version because of it's done here.

Some parts of the campaign are easier while others are more difficult like the endgame. In the original version, you had to buy or find Zombrex to give to Chuck's daughter. But she is only in the save house, sometimes you got to go a distance to just give her the shot.

In Frank's version, when it comes time you can quickly give yourself the shot. This alone saves you a lot of time as well as frustration during a run. Sandbox Mode also helps getting you ready for achievement hunting in the story mode. Also, TIR mode in DR2 mostly being multiplayer theme isn't all that fun.

In both modes of play, you can or someone else can join session thus making it coop. Despite, parts of it's flaws I do like you can do that. Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is essentially an non canon, updated version of the game. I would say this is way better than Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii.

Yes I know, a lot of cut scenes in this fact most of them are similar to what originally was there. I am not trying to dodge the bullet here. I strongly felt a lot of people took this game the wrong way fast. Simply because of the new location, to me this map was my favorite.

The simple fact you get plenty of freedom done right yes I'm looking at you Dead Rising 4. This version is worth giving a try especially if you're a fellow fan of the series. Most problems I had with the previous version was gone with this version. Honestly, I do recommend this game a lot for what it is.
