Dead Island

This game to me is just great.

It has the same set up as games such as GTA or Red Dead. Open roam if you want and main quest and all kinds of side quest. The graphics are fine for me, I have heard some people complain about them but meh, some people gotta find errors in everything. Graphics good, weapons fun, story fun, and oh, did i mention the zombies?! The zombies are great so far, i have not beat the game but from where i have gotten they range from slow easy kills to not so slow and not so easy. Very fun to fight them. Very graphic. Exactly what i want from a zombie game.

The weapons are fun, customizing is amazing.

This game combines the styles of GTA with the weapon customizing of Diablo and the survival of Resident evil. Basically someone took some of the best games made, put them in a pot of awesome and cooked up Dead Island.

Don't think about it, go get this game. Unless you are "sensitive" to violence and gore and language, in which case I'm sure there will be another mario coming out soon.

Don't get me wrong hacking the undead to bits is undeniably fun however the game is hindered by various factors. First off when on the island the game is a joy to explore yet upon entering the city the game becomes a bit of a grind and boring. The game suffers from various hit detection problems for instance an enemy was stood in front of me and I was striking them with my machete and it was going through him with there being no response to this. However it's fun to explore and to play.

Not a bad game once you get past the first hour or so of game-play. Fairly predictable bone mashing with an assortment of mêlée tools hammer, wooden plank etc. The enjoyability stems from upgrading weapons and completing quests. Eventually you get to use firearms which are a blast. There is fury meter that gets better as your levels increase, When the fury meter hits full everything grays out and you can go berserk with a pistol - shooting everything in site within fifty meters. Unfortunately it only lasts a few seconds but gradually gets longer as you progress through the game. You really need to give this game a good two hours before you can appreciate the complexity of the story. The graphics are pretty but in tunnels or indoors there is a problem with shadows. A texture will look perfectly real but once it is in shadow it seems to develop a strange red/green/yellow hue reminiscent of games from the 90,s. Something that really spoils the game and makes it look dated. Very re-playable none the less. I gave it 8 out of 10 Rubber chickens.

This game is brilliant, what can I say, the setting is awesome, the graphics are beautiful, the music is dark and it really feels like it's the end of time when you play it, it is a gory game and I mean gory, so its not for the weak hearted whatsoever.

The story resembles GTA style gaming with you fighting to survive with what ever is to hand and I mean ''Whatever is to hand'' playing this game with headphones on is a must try, with an assortment of weapons and zombies of different types and strength this game is a must buy, the only thing I will say that I'm not to fond of is the multi-player mode, as I myself am not a fan of multi-player, I prefer to go it alone, especially on a free roam game such as this, their are hidden extras in the game which are a must find, if you are a fan of zombie type games with a free roam added then this is the game for you, check it out!

Has many good functions and are at times a really great game with a good story. BUT it takes to much time doing relative repetitious missions, there are too many significant bugs (like zombies hitting trough a closed door) and the game play is not superb in itself.

The levelling systems has a few problems, like that at times fighting ordinary zombies can actually become harder as they level up along with you and that the new skills you get and new weapons you access is not always equally good.

The story is pretty good and has many interesting characters (and a lot of uninteresting ones too) and it contains some of the same classic left-wing and social critical points that the classic zombie movies and games also did.

All in all its worth playing but there are better ways to use your time.
