Dead Island

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!

Dead Island is a fun game I never played riptide all i know it is very similar dead island has good mechanics amazing graphics and a decent story I give dead island a B

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.

I've been waiting for this game to come out for quite some time. It was actually supposed to come out back in early 2000 but the building they were creating it at literally burned down. But it may have been for the best, because the graphics are good and the gameplay is one-of-a-kind. Think of it as a Left 4 Dead RPG-style. So you're not just annihilating zombies (which believe me, you do a lot) but you also have a purpose other than going through a campaign with no destination other than the end of the level. You can chose what weapons you pick up (which is similar to Mass Effect where they tell you the stats of the weapon; power, accuracy etc...). It has a twist though, they get worn out. That may be the ONLY thing I would change (it tends to get annoying when all your weapons in your inventory are broken to hell and all you can do is run and cry). Like, I can understand wooden bats breaking and stuff but like, a wrench?? that sucks to repair! Oh, and the fact that you have to pay to repair your weapons. It wouldn't be so much of a problem if it wasn't a lot of money to get them repaired because there is money EVERYWHERE but the most money I get in between missions is about 2000 dollars and some weapons cost 900 bucks just to repair it. (which is essentially maybe 20 swings). So definitely prioritize, because it'll go a long way. You can pick up miscellaneous items and customize your weapons too (like putting spikes on a bat and putting an electrical charge on it). This option is AWESOME; the only downside to that though is it costs even MORE money to repair. So essentially, it can be a pain to play the game at times. But then again, if it didn't have some sort of challenge, it wouldn't be as fun. Definitely a good change from typical zombie games. It's also 4-player which is awesome, and you can play online with your friends to get missions completed. I highly recommend getting this game. WELL DONE.

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.
