10 Most Grotesquely Violent Video Games Ever
10. Dead Rising 2
While Dead Rising 2 is violent, its the sort of brutality that makes sense. Imagine if the area you live in was subject to a zombie outbreak; youd use whatever you could to kill them because, after all, we don't all know how to fire a gun and against the undead ammo is a very finite commodity. The fact this isnt real life and just a video game of course makes it all the more fun as you can worry more about discovering creative ways to rip the undead apart without the undesirable consequences of being bitten or mauled to death.
You play as Chuck Greene, who is doing his level best to stop himself (and his daughter) from becoming an animated corpse. This includes using whatever is at his disposal to kill every zombie foolish enough to cross his path; this time making sure that the job is done properly. While hitting a zombies skull with a pipe is shocking enough, you can combine weapons to forge new ones with more brutal killing power. These combo weapons include mixing a bow and arrow with some dynamite to create the Blambow, combining the fireaxe and the sledgehammer to make the defiler and attaching a chainsaw to a kayak paddle to make the paddlesaw. Unsurprisingly the level of violence was upped from the original Dead Rising and this helped the game to get itself banned in Germany and the UAE (though what hasn't been banned in UAE).
