The only mark against the app I have in regards to upgrades is that the environments in Zombie Highway 2 tend to be more repetitive than the first game.

Sequels do demand a certain level of advancement, and Zombie Highway 2 delivers, sporting generally better polish and graphics that are a big step up from the first game. And for those with an appetite for difficulty, “expert mode” will significantly up the challenge early on, with bigger, stronger zombies making a quick appearance before you can get comfortable. Friend leaderboards are integrated in both the menus and the game, allowing players to challenge themselves against their Game Center friends if the game itself can’t provide enough of an incentive to keep playing. The “daily challenges” question players as to whether they can complete very specific goals along the highway, and they offer a neat diversion from the main mode. Zombie Highway 2 manages to again emphasize the survival aspect of the endless runner to an excellent degree.Īside from repeating the core run over and over again, the game offers longevity in the forms of “daily challenges”, friend leaderboards, and expert mode. Fairly standard fare, of course, but the frantic multitasking you’re forced to perform as you both maneuver and shoot is still loads of fun.
ZOMBIE HIGHWAY 2 GAMEPLAY UPGRADE
Light RPG elements pop up when you are given the option to upgrade your ride and gear. To combat the brain-munchers, you’re given various firearms and beefy vehicles to both shoot and smash with. The game is an endless runner (or driver, in this case), wherein you have to speed as far as you can along an infinitely generated highway before the undead inevitably flip your car over. Zombie Highway 2 very closely mimics the gameplay of its first iteration, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Will it bring as much addictive fun as its predecessor? Zombie Highway 2, the sequel to the massively fun Zombie Highway, blends the endless feel of games like Temple Run with a helpful dose of brain-munching and car smashing. Honestly, it’s just another drop in the ocean at this point, so anything with the fun-dead needs something to stand out. Let’s just skip the fact that the following app is a zombie game.
