Why does this page look different?
We're in the process of merging Giant Bomb game entries to IGDB entries. This is an older Giant Bomb page. It's safe to use, and all data will eventually be moved to the corresponding IGDB entry.
First, a card game of blackjack, with a sadistic twist like in the Saw movie. This is why I give this DLC 5 stars.
It's weird how I find games like blackjack and poker boring in real life. But when it's in a game like Dead Rising 2 or Red Dead Redemption, I've always stuck there for a long time.
But this is not just a luck based game like real blackjack. It's more of a puzzle game, really. The game features trump cards (legal cheat cards basically), and if play the best move, you're guaranteed to win. The AI is actually rigged so there's always a way to get a flawless win. But it's often quite hard to calculate the correct move. And when you do, it's very rewarding.
Loved this mode.
Second is some background story on Bakers family from Zoe's perspective, back when they were a normal family, right before the events of the main story.
Last, a minigame about finding and combining food ingredients as fast as possible, while fighting off enemies. It's kind of fun to feed trash to Jack for some revenge and reminds me of Mercenaries mode in RE4, but I'm not a big fan of being rushed by a timer.
