Customer Ratings & Reviews

A fun romp thought Hollywood's Zombie population...literally. The setting in this game is absolutely amazing and it just draws you in like few others can. Really captivating indeed, and much better than Dead Island's Rotten Paradise setting. And while the graphics, and the gore are far superior to the original, I have to say, they broke the Throw-able Weapons system. It just doesn't work as the original and thus it becomes sorta useless. And that's a bummer. The spawn system is also broken. You can go ahead and clean up a house only to turn around and find it filled with zombies again. At least the weapons re-spawn and level up with your character, so you don't feel like you have to hold on to everything you find. Regardless, this is still a fun game. And while some of its gameplay mechanics are inferior to the original, the setting is just so engrossing. Mowing down YouTubers, Influencers, Actors, and other Hollywood denizens right inside their homes and home studios never gets old.

Good game. Its a first person view game, which can sometimes make me nauseous after playing for a while. However it is fun and good so far

How a game should be released. No bugs glitches or big updates at launch. Fun and good story

All in all a fun run through Hell A. Story is good, the action is good, and it has a lot of the elements of the first game. Down Side No driving which is a bit disappointing and in some regards the game feels a bit dated which makes sense since it was in development limbo for a decade. If you liked the first one this one isn't a bad romp through memory lane.

Extremely fun and entertaining. Levels are be very hard and wish if you were killing a ‘boss’ and hurt them more than half way and died it would save your progress so you don’t have to start all over. Some weapons aren’t easy to find. Overall way better than the first. Currently stuck on the creepy pier clown

I picked this up because my friend let me know it was on sale. It plays like the first Dead Island game. So if you liked that one you will like this one. If you thought that the first one had terrible dialogue, repetitive missions, and was too much of a grind then you better find a friend to play this game with because that's in this game too. The zombie diversity and smashing mechanics are pretty awesome. It's a good mindless co-op game while catching up with a friend.

This is a fun game with an interesting story. Fun sidequests. Always entertaining killing zombies

I want to say first that I went into this game wanting a fun zombie game, that's it really. I didn't have any expectations besides I wanted a zombie game where it's fun to kill zombies and make stupid fun weapons, and I got what I wanted. The weapons, zombies, the gore system, and how they all interact and react to each other makes the game. Top notch zombie gore. The story, characters, and acting are not the best, but it works for a stupid fun game that knows it's a little stupid and fun. In a nutshell, the story...is there, it works well enough but the weapons and the zombie killing is what this game is all about. If you like killing zombies, pick this game up once it's on sale. $70 is too much for this game but once it hits $50 or less, worth it.

Excellent ! Story is well thought out. Play controls are great. Graphics are excellent. Worth the $20 for hours of play.

So much fun, and amazing graphics. The story is actually interesting. It is a very fun game, follow the story or just walk wherever and eliminate zombies. Fun Fun Fun

I have advanced quite a bit and it is definitely a great zombie game. Some parts I had to look up what to do and I'm stuck in a point where I have to kill a bunch of zombies fast so I need to skill up and pass it. The plot is sound and the things to do and check out are cool. Love it so far! I wish there were more powerful weapons at the beginning but super recommendable

I completed the game in about 16 hours and enjoyed it. Not open world but open zoned. Loved the gore and combat.

Great game. Really fun and amazing weapon variety. Would highly recommend

Very good, competent third person action game. Plenty of fun and worth a purchase.

[Employee of bestbuy] I played Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide probably 3 or 4 times and loved them, so naturally I purchased Dead Island 2 as soon as I got paid. The game is tons of fun. Lots of different weapons and modifications to slash up some zombies. I’ve only played one character so far, Dani. I adore her, and her diaglogue options. I’ve also started watching a playthrough with Carla’s character, and she seems pretty awesome too. The storyline is also interesting, albeit a bit predictable at times. If you’re looking for fun and to hack some zombies, this is the game for you.

Good graphics, nice story and really fun zombie game.

Beat this game so fast it was great! Can’t wait to play online next!

I probably wouldnt have been happy to get it for $60 but when i grabbed it for $20 id consider it a great deal to kill some time and some zombies. Its a definite improvement over the previous games and while it would probably be more fun with a group i still had fun doing single player.

It's fine at the beginning, but it gets very repetitive very fast. There's nothing special about the bosses tho, the only difference is that they have specific names. A game to shut down your brain for a few hours. Killing zombies is very relaxing for some reason.

[Employee of bestbuy] Dead island was a great game and Dead Island 2 stands up to the hype. Great story with a great free roam experience.
