Arizona Sunshine 2 is a fine sequel to its predecessor. I co-op played the campaign in just under 10 hours on hard and enjoyed the experience. Controls are fine, story is amusing, gunplay works well and sound design matches well.

Unfortunately it's biggest drawback is that the game is very barren. I don’t know if its just stripped down for Quest but the environments are very lacking in detail. Not distractingly so but there were several instances where the area we were in was noticeably empty with little love or detail added to make the environment feel compelling. The low frame rate, frosted glass, zombie-attack windows were the biggest distracting detail that I thought was just a buggy loaded texture or something the first time I saw it. But no, that's just the way it is.

The game also takes away your equipment on a few occasions which was particularly annoying because you're encouraged to scavenge, collect and hoard throughout the game to ensure you have enough ammunition to fight through the hoards that you'll run into. So when the game just tosses all that careful preparation out the windows multiple times, it sours its own gameplay.

The dog is a fun addition to the lone survivor formula, even if the story surrounding him is terribly off the rails.

This makes it a difficult game to recommend at its full retail price. At half-off its probably worth getting if you like zombie shooters with decent gunplay and a fun, if a bit goofy, story. If you've got some friends that want to hold out in the hoard mode for a while, you'd get your money's worth out of it I think.
