After years of waiting, fans are finally about to receive Dead Island 2. The original Dead Island had fans awestruck on the Xbox 360 back in 2011, with its unique blend of RPG, first-person shooter, and survival horror elements. Now, roughly 12 years later, the follow-up to this classic has finally arrived on the Xbox 360.
In preview, Dead Island 2 feels like a long lost Xbox 360 game, with reliable, safe mission structure but also awesome gore mechanics. The game takes place in Los Angeles, California, which has been overrun by zombies. Players can expect to encounter new types of zombies with unique abilities, as well as a variety of weapons to take them down.
During Dead Island 2's campaign, you'll find yourself in the Ocean Avenue region of LA, doing a main quest called, “The Search For Truth." This quest involves investigating the origins of the zombie outbreak, and players will have to navigate through a variety of environments and encounter different types of zombies in order to complete it.
Dead Island 2 is the follow-up to the original which released 12 years ago in 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game was originally announced in 2014, but has since gone through numerous development difficulties and delays. However, it seems that the game is finally on track to be released on the Xbox 360.
Dead Island 2 feels like a game that was plucked out of the Xbox 360/PS3 era and was dropped into 2023. This statement might feel like a way of saying that the game is outdated, but it actually works in its favor. The game's graphics and mechanics have been updated to fit modern standards, while still maintaining the same overall feel of the original.
After years and years of development, Dead Island 2 feels like more Dead Island. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fans of the original will find that the sequel retains the same charm and gameplay mechanics that made the first game so popular. However, there are also new features and improvements that make the game feel fresh and exciting.
Some games aren't suited to a keyboard and mouse, so can you play Dead Island 2 with a controller? The answer is yes. The game has full controller support on the Xbox 360, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the game's world and mechanics.
Sit back, close your eyes, and take yourself to the summer of 2011. The sun is out, you've just finished school, and you hop on the Xbox 360 to play Dead Island. Now, 12 years later, you can relive that experience with the long-awaited sequel, Dead Island 2. With updated graphics, new mechanics, and the same charm that made the original so popular, Dead Island 2 is a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
