Dead Island

The island of Banoi is a lush, tropical paradise in the South Pacific where its flagship Royal Palms Resort serves as the ultimate getaway for vacationers with money to burn. However, all good things must soon come to an end - and the picturesque resort falls into madness, carnage and chaos after a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak claims its once peaceful atmosphere. Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, discover what's really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends.

Now this game has no story, and I usually praise games with stories, but the gameplay and multiplayer make it a fun game. Now at first you may say this game has nothing to do. It has tons to do, but it's mostly all the same, and sadly, it's not worth roaming around mostly. Now I roam around particular maps, like I hate the City of Moresby, but I love the swamp and collecting loot at the island hotel which you can also enter. It's packed with customization, and I loved it no matter how unrealistic or dumb some of them are. I also love the bloodbath arena, letting you get tons of XP. So what can I say? It's bloody fun with a punch, and multiplayer is also addicting too. Sadly, it can be repetitive and it doesn't have a story. But once again that is minor, because it's not supposed to have a story, the side quest stories make up for it anyways. The graphics are beautiful, but down to an 8 because of some glitches and it's always day (which I don't like but yet somewhat like). Overall an 8.5 out of 10, but I gave it a 9 for some credit.

I don't multi-play or play on line with others.
Having been one of the most redundant games I have ever played I was blown away by the graphics and smoothness of the game.
To say the graphics were amazing would be a major understatement. Even the character mentions something about the view at some point.
Having a myriad of characters to choose from is nice but seems it may have been a bit of a burden later in the game regarding weapon purchases. I was using the "blunt weapon expert" and during deals with trader characters I was finding much more bladed weapons than anything else.
I did finish this game which is saying something and the main reason was the graphics.
There are really only 2 or 3 really cool ways to destroy enemies but the gore and consistency is very impressive.
I only finished the game with one character and have absolutely no desire to play it again.
It seems this game would likely be best for on line co-op which is something I don't engage in.

This game is good and I totally recommend it to a lot of people. If you do not like gory games maybe this isn't the type of game for you. Because this is a very graphic game and some of the scenes can become very gory. It has a exceptional storyline, and it does pass the time. I like it and it is worth checking out.

This game is amazing, I'm not going to make a paragraph review, but any how, the game is fun, great, and it is a strategy game, you cant just walk through the game like that, their are some puzzles and such... I recommend it for anyone who doesn't get bord of games easy... Have fun and I hope you like it.

Dead Island has a beautiful idea, survive with zombies everywhere. Simple enough yes, but there's not a lot of depth here. The RPG elements are pretty meh, the story is not the best, and the missions are pretty repetitive. That being said, the island looks great and was fun to explore. The combat wasn't blowing my mind but it was really enjoyable and didn't get boring throughout the game. Definitely worth a pick up at the current 20 dollar price point.

A little bit of the combat for you

Felt like a B-Class movie at best, with awful voice acting, bad single-player, and unplayable multiplayer. Worst game I've ever played. Hated it immediately.

This game is just very sad. I got this game along with Halo 4, and Battlefield 3 and out of the three this one was by far the worst, and by far a disappointment to zombie games. The graphics don't look 2011 worthy they look like 1995 worthy and that is not good, it gives me a head ache to paly this game. At first thought you will be like hey this looks awesome, you play the game and your like - that sucked. That is what i was like and i just don't want all of you fellow gamers to falll prey to false advertisment. This game is just boring and complicated its just not any fun for you to play, sadly. Thisgame is something to get for five bucks so get it then and thats that . All an All D-

Dead Island should only be put as survival action. Because it really isnt scary at all and even though theres zombies in it it shouldnt be called survival horror due to its lack of everything scary. Plus the game is definitely fun but is ametuer to its title of being a zombie game. If I ever play riptide, it'll be at my friends house because right now I have low expectations for it.

We loved the Variety of zombies. Any zombie movie you could think of, this game had their zombies. Ie. Walkes, Infected etc tc There is plenty of blood and gore in this game... The zombies got stronger as our skills got stronger which challenged us until the very end. The story line is great and you will be kept busy for a long time. Our favorite parts were slicing off heads and crushing their skulls in with our boots. We chose the female member, well because I'm a girl too and she was FIERCE!!! I admit I did have nightmares from it all, but if your a zombie fan... this game can get addictive fast. We played through the whole game, and have yet to find another to match it. just waiting for us to be able to play it again. or have Dead Island 2 come out. I know for sure... we will be getting number two. Loved it!

Honestly just buy World at War for like 10 bucks and play zombie mode... It's a lot more fun. Tried this out and returned it the next day, it's better then L4D2 but to be honest with you I found that game to be god awful. I like how you can customize weapons in this game, that's about it. Just my opinion. Honestly I'd say try it out if you like zombie games though, I'm not trying to bash this game at all I'm just trying to give my honest input.
Worth a shot if you bought used with the option to return

I was on the fence about getting this game. I bought it and I turned it on and it was pretty exciting. The starting of the game gets you hooked. Really great better than Dead-Rising. Basically too me its like a Skyrim/Fallout version zombie game. With there being quests and free-roam. But over-all great game. Ill never trade it in. Or give it up.

I love this game, its my most favorite zombie game ever. I love that you can beat the story but play through it again with all you weapons and items and ranks unaffected. I think I`m on my 4th or 5th play through off it. This game never gets old. I totaly recommend this to anybody that loves zombie games.
