    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    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.
