8.75 Alrighty! So I finally wrapped up my playthrough of Dead Island after god knows how long... I played the game as the washed up rapper Sam B, I figured: "Hey I'll probably get a crap ton of blunt weapons at the beginning so he'll be the right choice!" Which was true and it was pretty... More

The zombie genre is full at this point, with games such as Left for Dead, Call of Duty Zombies, and many more out there. The one thing many zombie games don’t always have is a fascinating story. Dead Island is no different. Yes, it is an RPG. Yes, the trailer did make it seem like it was going to be... More

Dead Island has ,what seemed to me, a very small, uninteresting story. This game, however, has many good qualities to it. The design and layout are impressively well designed. The fast-travel system allows you to avoid much walking when going from safe-house to safe-house. The weapon customization, talent... More

After playing the dissapointing Dead Rising 2, I established a list of things I would want in the perfect zombie game. Dead Island manages to knock out almost all of these in one quick stomp to the head. Huge Open World: Check Better Progression System: Check Better Oppurtunities For Side Objectives... More

It's a good game.It would be a lot better though if there was a co-op multiplayer for OFFLINE and not just only ONLINE!!! More

I know my idea isn't original when I say it but this game wasn't that creative but I have to agree completely. The game is amazingly fun and I enjoyed almost every minute while playing it. It was like Borderlands to me, one fun playthrough and then on your second playthrough you gotta do it all... More

Gamers really seem to enjoy slaughtering zombies en masse. There's just something satisfying about seeing the undead get mowed down in packs. We've seen a ton of different zombie games throughout this console generation (Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising being the highlights), and they all really seem... More

Really? Why would you vacation at a place called "Dead Island?" This game was a good buy, I have very few regrets with buying it. The gameplay was quick and fast paced, with many cool unique weapon upgrades. From shock mods to venom mods, there was never a dull weapon upgrade. These weapons... More

This is a really great game, I highly recommend it. I liked the story at first, but I got taken away from it when I started playing with friends online & got more into the leveling system. Voice acting sucks, but everything else sound wise is good. If you want a game for hours of entertainment, then... More

This is a great game. A fine mixture of really good games plus Zombies makes this a definite buy. The only problem I have with this game is that the weapons degrade a little fast, however, they aren't very expensive to repair. I recomend this game to all zombie lovers. More

[Review: 8.5/10] We hear it all the time; the market is saturated with zombies. Netflix Instant's library is full of awful, low-budget zombie films. Xbox Live Arcade is full of $1 zombie games. Between Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead, it didn't seem like there was a particularly huge demand for another... More

I didn't buy Dead Island, I rented it from Gamefly. I wasn't sure it was going to be any good; I was one of the few people that was underwhelmed by the Left 4 Dead. They arcadey feel of L4D and its sequel never really got me going, and I assumed that Dead Island was going to offer a similar experience... More

I was all for Dead Island, thanks in part to that amazing teaser that was revealed a while ago. But then I purchased it and, firstly, was greatly disappointed that I wasn't greated by the family in the teaser. I still played it though, because I had heard comparison to Borderlands and Fallout. I... More

I was expecting nothing from Dead Island. I thought the trailer that every one loves was pretty cool, but it was pre-rendered, and I have learned to not take a single pre-rendered trailer seriously. So I bought it, expecting to have some fun and kill a weekend or so. Well, I had more than fun, I had... More

An array of characters, hordes of undead and insanely awesome weapons all roll together in this game by Deep Silver and Techland. Basically, you are a guest at the beautiful Royal Palms Resort when a sudden epidemic infects the island of Banoi, turning regular people into flesh-seeking zombies. Your... More

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Before I begin this review I want to start off saying I am a big zombie-game fan. I’ve played through almost every Resident Evil game out there, spent more hours then I care to admit conquering Left 4 Dead and L4D2 along with friends up at college... More

Simple as this. This game is fun, get it. More

This game is one of the only good zombie games out there. The game has very fluid dynamics and is a visual gem at bare minimum. It also adds that fear factor( no pun intended) that any good zombie game needs. Dead Island's story is very interesting as well, it tells the story of four survivors who... More

Yes, Dead Island had it flaws. The game was pretty much broken on launch and the story or lack their of was laughable. However, that being said even with my vanishing customized weapons, my game saves, and my two days of waiting for the patch very impatiently I still loved this game and couldn't... More

In an era where zombie-eradicating video games litter the landscape like the limbs of the undead near the end of most of the said games, Dead Island had its work cut out for it right from the beginning. Not only did it have to keep from drowning in the sea of cookie cutter zombie titles, but it had to... More
