What's the difference between the first Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2?

The 2 games are actually very similar with one another. The main difference I see is that in Dead Rising 2, you can now combine certain items to form more powerful ones. These new items help you level up faster so its a must to try and use them as much as possible.

Another difference is the inclusion of online cooperative play. With Dead Rising 2, you and a partner can now play through the game's entire campaign, helping each other defeat the hordes of zombies and psycopaths the game throws at you. You can't play split-screen though so you'll need an internet connection (and an Xbox Live Gold membership if you are playing on an Xbox 360) to participate on multi-player games.

Aside from those, the 2 games play the same in terms of how the story progresses and how missions are tied to the game timer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
