For those of us who are used to Left 4 Dead's breed of super-fast zombies, the old, stumbling George A. Romero style shufflers seem like a bit of a joke. If you can outrun the oncoming apocalypse on a Segway then it's probably an apocalypse not worth worrying about. Dead Rising 2 agrees, and thinks that the best way to deal with the doddering undead is to humiliate them, preferably using some sort of horrendous weapon constructed from an oar and two chainsaws, held together by gaffa tape. Check out the trailer below for an example of one in action.
Here's how the inventing system works. Almost every object in Dead Rising 2 city can be picked up and used against the undead. Workbenches are scattered throughout the Vegas-style city, and these can be used to attach different objects together to create new and ridiculous weapons. Motorbikes, longswords, machine guns, power tools, lawnmowers, you name it, there's one lying about somewhere in the city. What we'd like to know is: what's the best, most hilarious zombie crushing weapon you can think of? It doesn't have to be very efficient, it just has to make a big mess, and preferably completely humiliate the zombies involved. Ready. Set. Invent!
