You make a parody infomercial &ndash; with zombies &ndash; obviously!<\/p>\n<p>Dead Rising 2 was released around the globe this weekend. The game  introduces a new protagonist, Chuck Greene, an ex-motocross champion and  loving father, who must find a constant supply of anti-zombie-parasite  medication Zombrex for his young daughter Katey. The game is set in the  Fortune City resort and casino complex, which was inspired by Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>A new gameplay feature enables Chuck to craft a huge array of crazy weapons by combining items he finds in the environment, often with hilariously gory and destructive results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dead_Rising_2_Screenshots_202357364.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Dead_Rising_2_Screenshots_202357364.jpg\" title=\"Dead_Rising_2_Screenshots_202357364.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 30 second spot is below, and it&rsquo;s pretty good for a giggle, even if you don&rsquo;t understand Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"600\" height=\"366\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/j0ACf4pRj_k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"600\" height=\"366\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/j0ACf4pRj_k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;version=3\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p>There was also an &lsquo;outtakes&rsquo; clip.
