The story for this game isnt earth shattering. HOWEVER, it is still a super fun and amazing looking zombie game. There is plenty of conent to keep you busy. The side quests are a bit more fun than the main story at times. There are tons of weapons and choices for perks to build out your character. If you are looking for a fun zombie game then this is definitely worth checking out.

I bought this one day one and since then been playing this game for over 2 weeks now. I had such a good time playing this game and there's a lot of thing to do once you beat the game for the challenges/legendary weapons. If you like zombie slashing game then this one is perfect for you! Looking forward to the future DLC releases this year.

After ten years it finally came out pretty straightforward game and loads of fun, was hoping for the open world feel like the original but sadly it was not it's still pretty open but seems like there's not enough zombies to justify it being "LA" was hoping the characters would be unique and different but it's the same lines slightly different etc. Melee play is amazing gun play is kind of clunky. 8/10 worth the money I platinumed (100% completion) in two days.

Fun action chopping zombies. The world is fun to explore and gameplay offers more of the same but their nothing wrong with that if your looking to bash Zombies.

I very much enjoyed the original Dead Island so looked forward to the sequel. I can’t comment on the co-op aspect of the game as I’ve only played solo. It’s fun killing zombies with various improvised weapons. The game doesn’t take itself too seriously.
This is the kind of game where I can easily play for 20 minutes after work to unwind.

If you can find this game for cheaper than retail, then 100% I’d get it. But even if you HAVE to pay retail, I think it’s still worth it. It’s one of the better games to release in recent years. It’s mostly bug free, it’s a complete game, but it’s fun, and you can play it with friends.

Reminds me of the classic Dead Island, just with smoother gameplay and nicer graphics. Overall gameplay is nice, game could have more content but newer games don’t have as much content these days. Definitely recommend to play with friends.

This is the best zombie game on Xbox, way better than Dying Light 2. I can’t believe a game that took forever and switched hands as much as this one did and came out this awesome, buy it!

It’s a good looking game. The game play is not any good. It’s not hard but the zombie are over powered. The ai zombie will walk around dance and come after you. The would run and move out the way on heavy attack. It’s addicting but can get you angry.

Very fun, especially with friends. Only downside is the game gets repetitive occasionally. Large variety of weapons, mods, collectibles. Gore is seriously next-gen. A no-brainer for any zombie game fan.

Haven't beaten the game, but the gameplay is fun, but the story is very mediocre. The voice acting is pretty good, the graphics are decent, and smashing zombies is fun and hilarious.
