Dead Island - Xbox 360

this game had its flaws when it was first released, such as being set back a few levels if you joined an online game with someone who wasnt as far as you, but since being patched it has been alot better. you get to pick between 4 characters to play as. each character has their strengths and weaknesses and can be develped according to your prefered play style. the graphics are pretty good considering similar games. the game is pretty much a melee bashing game, guns come into play later in the game but for the most part you use weapons like paddles, bats, sticks, knives and other melee weapons. once you get guns ammo is limited so it is advisable to still carry melee weapons around as back up. the areas you can explore include an island, sewers, a city, and a jungle to name a few. i personally dont enjoy levels like the sewers but they are manageble. there is DLC available for this game including a new character/side story and a blood bath arena. in the arena you can carry any exp and weapons over to your main game which is nice. over all the game is pretty good and does something different with it not being a total shooter. the meele weapons are pulkled off pretty good and the game does require a bit of thinking in some instances and does a good job at making you feel overwhelmed in some parts, especially playing with other characters around your level. over all a good game that is better than left for dead and dead rising.

Is entertaining. Had some small ways it could improve.

Bought this game from BB during Black Friday for $30. This game is worth the origional $60 pice tag This game is a lot of fun. There's a good story and game play is fun. This game is a lot like red dead redemption w machetes. You can follow story like, do side quests of just roam around killing zombies. But the zombies get tougher as your level grows and you have to pay attention to weapon durability and your health or you will die and die a lot. And their is a punishment associated with dying. Overall, a great game that you will play over and over again. Would recommend especially if you get for about $30.

The graphic on this game was decent. Techland has done a pretty good job on weapons. It's like dead rising 2 where you have to find any weapons around the area and combine them (unlike left 4 dead where you start off with a machine gun, 1st aid & unlimited pistol bullets), you won't get that in dead island which is a good thing (it add a degree of realism on how a real survival are). I like how weapons are now breakable (again it add a degree of realism on how real survival are). Overall I love it, highly recommended to any zombies slayers out there.

If you enjoyed Borderlands and like melee combat do yourself a favor and get this game. Convince a friend to so the same, it's best played in co-op, but I had fun in single player as well. There are weapons galore, weapon modding and upgrading, neat skill trees that are different for each of the four characters, plus tons of quests. The graphics in the game are impressive as well. The first person melee combat is satisfying and the game is very gory - it's a zombie apocalypse, what did you expect? I have run into a minor bug here and there, and the cut scenes assume you are always playing in a group of four, but that doesn't really matter when it comes to the gameplay.

Dead Island has more than met my expectations. As a zombie addict, I can tell you it will satisfy even the most hardcore fans. The game brings together essential elements to create a true zombie apocalypse with unlimited replay value. You got a gorgeous open world landscape, a great storyline, and most important of all... zombies. I have been waiting for a game like this for awhile now and I give credit to Techland for bringing a truly awesome game to life. All in all, if you're a gamer that likes to get the most out of a purchase, then Dead Island is for you. It's got all the free roam of Oblivion, the action of a game like Left 4 Dead, and the new inspiring environment that is Banoi.

This was easily my favorite game. I have beaten the game but I am playing through it again there is so much to discover off path from The main story line such as developer weapon mods new survivor locations and much more! The key is to be adventurous! Also this is a great game to play with others preferably with mics!

This game is basically a combination of GTA and L4D. You can choose from 4 characters and customize them and their weapons (nail bat) as you play. Just like in GTA there is one large storyline and plenty of side missions or you can just run or drive around killing zombies (which is the best part of the game). Overall a 9/10 and would recommend to anyone who liked L4D, GTA, or just loves killing zombies.
