    Great game, weak story

    Dead Island's gameplay is extremely fun, fast paced, and requires a bit of strategy. You can't just charge in and expect to kill everything and it requires some patience and technique. The story is very weak though and the ending leaves a lot to be desired.

    Awesome game. It has allot of bashing, slashing, and zombie killing. I really like that you can modify your weapons. Electric sword, fire baseball bat, poisonous blade and plenty more. The weapons provide many different ways to bring down zombies. The online play is great too. You can join others in an arena where wave after wave of zombies will come at you. Or you can join another persons game and help them or have them help you in the storyline. Another great feature is the characters level up and you have different skills to get for each.

    Really glitchy

    I am not a first person shooter gamer at all. But this game was recommended to me by a friend so I picked up a copy, and found myself immersed in this game. For a first person game I really enjoyed it. The only downside is that this game has to be one of the most glitchy game that I have ever played.

    Great game for a great price

    This game is great for anyone who always wanted a quality zombie game for the PS3. It is action-packed and challenging from the get-go, and it's combat system never feels clunky or unresponsive. The missions do get a bit repetitive at times, but luckily there are multiple maps that you move between to help with that further in the game. Unfortunately, though the maps are pretty big, there isn't much reward for taking the risk to explore on your own without a mission to guide you.

    The game wasn't quite what I expected, but overall worth the money in graphic, ease of play, and entertainment. Worth playing again in another 6 months or so...

    Was in the store looking for a new game to purchase. Grabbed this one by chance. This game combines features from many other zombie hunting games which makes it one of my favorites. The only downside is that unlike L4D or L4D2 is that this game is a one player game.

    This game is addicting in it's game play and the story line is very cool. There are different characters you can play that have their own strong points so the replay on the game is still different and unique. The multi-player is pretty cool as well.
