Vertigo Games has brought the Arizona Sunshine franchise back from the dead and living its best afterlife. With pitch perfect writing, acting, pacing and outstanding action, Arizona Sunshine 2 offers some of the most engaging and accessible arcade violence yet to grace VR.
Arizona Sunshine 2 might not be the groundbreaking landmark the first game was, but improved gunplay, a fun companion, and rapid-fire jokes make this a ride well worth taking. Often tense, always fun, and sometimes emotionally impactful, Arizona Sunshine feels like big-budget entertainment. Just play by yourself the first time so your friend doesn't chatter through all the good stuff.

I truly loved this game. After playing AS1 and now the second installment, I must say that this game is much better. The graphics are more crisp, the improvements to guns and reloading are great, and the addition of Buddy was nice. In this sequel we see more and create more explosions. The addition of explosives and melee weapons was exactly what the game needed. All in all I loved every bit.

Where do I start with this masterpiece? Well first off the game runs at a smooth 72 FPS the whole game on Quest 2. Now onto the story, the story is very strong from continuing off of the first. As soon as you meet Buddy you can't help but love him. The story does have some plot twists that I won't say here so you can experience it yourself, but they are amazing! I played with a friend so this made the game even better. The gameplay is very smooth and not hard to learn. This game is the perfect VR zombie game just like the first, would play again.

A good zombie slayer, heir to one of the first games of the genre in virtual reality. Arizona Sunshine 2 uses some references – dog à la Fallout, TLoU-style zombie mutations, mainly – to increase the fun and game solutions. It's a shame for a visual design that took into account the all-in-one versions of the game, especially in outdoor scenarios, and the graphic limitations are also felt on PS VR2 and PC. Better show, but not as much as it could have been.
Arizona Sunshine 2 convinces with its brainless action, its silly humor and the relationship between Buddy and the protagonist. It may not innovate and have technical flaws; even you can have seen all its tricks in other games, but what it does, it does in a very entertaining way: it's almost impossible to get bored with it.
Arizona Sunshine 2 improves on every aspect of the original to make this one of the best zombie games on the PSVR 2. The weapons have never felt better and make mowing down enemies a thrill. Although the horde mode is a little basic and you’ll encounter the odd glitch, the fact you can play everything with a friend improves the entire experience. With its dark humor and well-designed world, you’ll have a sadistic time annihilating foes on your trek through a post-apocalyptic world.
Arizona Sunshine 2 could have been one of the best VR games, but the developers made some weird decisions that get in the way of fully enjoying the game. However, they succeeded in what is most important - enjoyable zombie shooting. Buddy the dog is also a fantastic addition to the first installment.
A genuinely amusing zombie shooting sequel, that’s let down by clunky controls, too many bugs, and too little variety in its challenge.
I'm doing a second run on Apocalyptic difficulty after finishing it in a little over 7 hours, dragging along nicely. Normal mode for experienced players does not pose any particular difficulty.
I invite you to do your first run in hard mode directly. You never feel the lack of ammunition, it's a walk as long as you aim for the head without emptying your magazine stupidly with each mob.
The pleasure of progressing in the highest difficulty is really present, if you like FPS don't miss it. The game has largely paid off for me.
The only negative point that I hope will be changed with an update is the red screen when you die which is much too long given that we have a small loading behind.

Good points.
Shooting zombies is fun.
Gore is good.
Buddy the dog companion.
Bad points.
Picking up ammo is frustrating and janky
Some performance issues for me on heavily populated fights.
You should be allowed more guns can only carry 3. Perhaps another gun over the other shoulder.
Not much in the way of crafting and next to no customising.

J'avais bien aimé le 1er opus et j'attendais celui ci avec impatience. J'ai été un peu déçu du résultat final...
Techniquement déjà, le jeu est assez moyen. Il y a largement plus beau sur PSVR2 (Red Matter, Horizon, RE8, etc...) et les bugs sont assez récurrents (dont certains qui font rebooter le jeu). Il n'est pas moche, loin de là mais on traverse souvent les mêmes environnements (quartiers californiens, égoûts, base militaire, ...). Il y a quelques bonnes idées comme l'impact réel des armes sur le corps des zombies (on peut donc s'amuser à démembrer les ennemis), et le chien qui nous accompagne.
Malheureusement le plus gros défaut du jeu reste son manque total de surprise. C'est du vu et archi revu. J'aurais aimé plus de folie à la Dead Rising, des boss immenses (là y a aucun boss), des situations originales, bref ne pas en faire un shooter couloir sans imagination.
Vraiment dommage. Un bon petit jeu mais loin des promesses faites.

The price is outrageous for 4 hours of playtime! Lots of bad design decisions, hardly any improvements on the predecessor, poor graphics, lots of bugs that make the game difficult to play, clunky controls..... Just like the first part, the co-op mode doesn't work properly.

Not worth the money. Poor level design, clunky controls. Cringe monologues. Crafting is pointless.
The only positive is the physics of the zombies.
Wait until the price drops to £20, as I feel ripped off.
