Decent storyline, funny script/cutscenes, and decent zombie fighting... but it gets stale towards the half-way point of the game.

Dead Island 2 is a fun, gory, hyper violent romp through L.A. doing nothing better than killing all zombies you come across. Co-op is solid good fun, and the game runs great, super well optimized and I have had no issues running it.
