Hopefully the different weather settings will also be introduced soon, as they were in the first game. Also, a quick reload button for the currently-equipped weapon would feel more intuitive and natural than having to open the weapon mini-menu every time. It would be nice if the starting points (and not just the layout of the roads) were randomized rather than having to start in the desert, enter the checkpoint, cross the highway, and so on, time and time again. This mode will provide them with more specific tasks, each carrying a reward of the golden coin variety, which is pivotal for unlocking more vehicles and those expensive but fearsome weapons (I'm still saving for that laser rifle). Upon reaching the Survivor ranking, players will be able to access the daily challenge mode. Zombie Highway 2 supports the new Metal graphics tool as well, so I recommend downloading the enhanced textures and lighting when prompted since it really casts the game in a new light (pun intended. There are also some new heavily-armoured zombies to contend with, as well as the zombified versions of Game Center friends whose high scores have been smashed, which is a nice personal touch. The basic gameplay mechanics from the original remain, albeit with a new level of polish, cinematic flair, and top-quality sound effects thrown in. We have the addition of a nitrous boost, for those moments when there are 4 fat zombies trying to tip the car and players are within reach of that distance objective. The addition of tunnel sections add a heightened sense of suspense to gameplay, as the headlights become the only source of light to spot zombies and dodge wrecked cars.

There are some notable new additions though, especially the changing landscapes and variety of areas to drive through.
