Dead Rising 2: Case Zero – No Online Co‑op Available

You cannot join another player's game in Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.

Why?

• Design: Case Zero is a standalone Prologue / Demo (Paid, $5 / 400 MSP) released Aug 31, 2010 (Xbox 360 Exclusive, timed). It covers Chuck Greene’s outbreak in Still Creek, 2 years before Dead Rising 2.
• Single Player Only: No Multiplayer code exists in the build. No Lobby, No Invite, No Matchmaking.
• Save Transfer: Completing Case Zero (Level 5 Cap, ~2–3 hrs) transfers Level, PP, Combo Cards, Money (~$50k) to Dead Rising 2 (Full Game) on the Same Profile / Console.

Co‑op Is in the Full Game

• Dead Rising 2 (Full): 2‑Player Online Co‑op (Story Mode – Host progresses, Guest keeps PP/Items). 2‑Player Local Split‑Screen? NO. Online Only.
• Dead Rising 2: Off the Record: Same Co‑op. Frank West protagonist. Sandbox Mode.

If you want to co‑op slaughter zombies with a friend, buy Dead Rising 2 or Off the Record. Case Zero is a solo appetizer.
