Dead Rising 2: Case 0 is a Xbox 360 exclusive standalone DLC pack that acts as a prequel to the full version of Dead Rising 2 .
Set two years after the original Dead Rising and three years before the events of Dead Rising 2 , the player takes on the role of Chuck Greene, a former motorcross champion whose daughter Katey has been bitten by a zombie. The player must find all the components to build a motorcycle before the army arrives to deal with the undead outbreak while fending off the zombies.
Gameplay is similar to the first Dead Rising. The player can roam Still Creek in 3rd person in search of motorbike components, dealing with zombies as the player progresses. On your travels, you will find various objects that can be used either as a weapon or combined with other objects to form makeshift weapons. You will also be able to find 'Combo Cards' which will allow you to build these various makeshift weapons.
As you progress through the game and perform noteworthy accomplishments, you will earn PP (Prestige Points) and progress through each PP level, granting the player increased stats such as increased health and strength. During the course of Case Zero , you can progress up to level five. The PP you earn and Combo Cards that you find can also be carried over to Dead Rising 2 .
Dead Rising 2: Case 0 was released on 28 September 2010 for the Xbox 360 console.
