Dead Island

The good: Heavy customization. You customize and modify your weapons, get to dictate how your character progresses with experience, and get to choose what quests you do and do not want to accept. There is a lot of choice in this game. If you're going' for an apocalyptic game, this one should be high on your list. Unlike games like Left4Dead, this game doesn't tell you where to go and give you a single pathway to follow. You can get help from your little navigator map but that's not required. The bad, for me at least, was the setting. After Left4Dead 2 came out, I was a little worn thin on southern settings. What we really need to see is more downtown cities. A game that delves deep into what most of Americans live by or in... suburbs.. downtowns... highways, etc. A game that thrusts you deep into your comfort zone. Other than that, there are a few glitches still in the game that are a minor nuisance. But, if you're looking for something apocalyptic that forces you to figure out the hard way how to get out of a sticky situation, or how you'll make your plan, this is it. Definitely a thinker, and a bad-ass FPS adventure game.

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.

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
