Off the Record drops Frank West back into Fortune City with a sandbox mode, photography and fresh psychos to mash. A tasty fan-facing remix, looser and clearly funnier than Chuck's official adventure.

Is Dead Rising 2 - Off the Record still worth playing in 2026?
A reimagining of Dead Rising 2 by Capcom, Off the Record rewrites the adventure by replacing Chuck with photojournalist Frank West, hero of the first entry, with his photo system, a new amusement park area and a sandbox mode without time pressure. This freer, more generous retelling, peppered with humour, makes it the best gateway to creative zombie carnage. The repetition remains. An excellent game for fans of carefree slaughter, dark humour and creative mayhem on Xbox 360.
