While there have been expansions, spin-offs, definitive editions, and more, it has taken more than a decade for a proper sequel to bring the franchise back from the dead.

It's been more than 10 years since gamers found themselves trapped in a tropical paradise with the undead in the original Dead Island.

Welcome to 'Hell-A.' Hope you survive the experience. or burned them, or electrocuted them, or dismembered them, or, well, you get the idea. Those zombies won't even know what hit them. Thankfully, that's just the sort of adrenaline rush you're built for. It'll take a little luck, a lot of skill, and a whole arsenal of improvised tools of destruction for you to get out alive. On the negative side, you're surrounded by legions of the undead that still want to feast on your tasty flesh, and you've got a slew of fellow survivors counting on you to find a way to escape from L.A. On the plus side, you discover you're somehow immune to the zombie virus. While you manage to hop a ride on an evacuation flight out of the city, a dramatic turn of events leads to your plane being shot down and you being left stranded deep in the quarantine zone. But proving that you just can't keep a good zombie virus down, a new infestation has broken out in the heart of Los Angeles. It's been years since the zombie outbreak on Banoi Island and the subsequent cover-up of the incident. Zombies go Hollywood in DEAD ISLAND 2, the sequel to 2011's hit undead splatterfest, Dead Island. It can be a pretty boring game at times, I enjoy fast-paced action such as dying light. Also in certain areas, you can see blood splatter, zombies with their insides outside, and also dead bodies. I think for this day and age it's an amazing feature. The flesh system includes realistic melting, slice marks, stomping, putting holes through zombies, decapitation, and body trauma, and if beaten a zombie enough(or shooting, slicing, and melting) you can see the insides of the zombies. The flesh system is amazing, we haven't seen anything like it in gaming yet, well maybe if you think about the doom games but nothing tops this. The game is an amazing game and I think more people should try out the game for themselves. Depending on how mature you think your child is I would recommend 13+ but for more immature children 15+. I think that it is an amazing series but, the game has an extreme amount of gore and violence. Personally, I enjoy the dead island franchise.
