![]() Add in a splash of pulp stylings, some truly horrific body damage physics, a basic but well-told story, and a ton of style and you’ve got the makings of one hell of a time. ![]() ![]() Using all manner of melee and ranged weaponry you’ll smash and blast your way through 10+ hours of the goriest zombie mayhem I have ever seen in a video game. You are stuck inside and desperate to get out. LA, which isn’t an island, is suffering a massive zombie outbreak and has been cordoned off by the US government. Nine years after its initial announcement it is here, and it is great. You will definitely want to keep your eyes on Dead Island.Dead Island 2 is a real video game. It is, however, a game that makes zombies threatening again, while still balancing out the challenge with plenty of opportunity to mutilate and explode in the name of righteous human justice. The decapitations and the exploding knives and the electrocutions never get old, and provide a grotesque sense of fun in a world that’s actually quite threatening and grisly.ĭead Island is not the emotional heart-tugger that its trailers may suggest. Yet still, all these details pale in comparison to the fact that you can repeatedly kick a dead zombie in the nuts and laugh, laugh, laugh. Different areas of the island are shown as whirlpools on the map, and heading toward them will load a fresh part of the map. This quest provided a nice tour of the island, where loot chests, and shopkeepers, and innocent victims still fighting off the zombies could be found. During the demo, I made sure to point out that putting up “Missing” posters on an island full of missing or dead people was a bit redundant, but I suppose the job pays well enough, so it’s worth doing. Our mission involved putting up posters to help find a missing girl.
