Trying to keep a mental catalogue of the things that are wrong with Dead Island, at least in its current state, is kind of exhausting. The good news is, the sum total of those issues still isn't damning enough that I would dissuade you from playing it.

Dead Island was released (in some manner ) in the US yesterday, and arrives in the UK, once it's painstakingly paddled across the massive oceans of the internet, on Friday. I've been playing it for a long, long time, and yet still haven't got anywhere near its ending.

The best way I can sum up Dead Island is that it tries to catch the co-op flavor of games like Borderlands and bring it to a tropical paradise with weapon crafting. But fighting the same hordes over and over again in the hopes of getting that one special component for my ultra-rare weapon build wore...

These guys that are leaving 1-2 stars are just trolls or something. I see no conceivable reason to give this anything lower than a 4 and personally i think it deserves a 5 AND a sequel. I am VERY picky about my games and what i like to play.

I bought this game day 1 on xbox 360 and am now getting it at this amazing price for PC; This game has awesome rpg elements and first person melee combat that is unmatched; Creating your own weapons from scraps you find around the world is great fun

There isn't another one coming out in 2012 (as far as i know) I would like DLC with even more levels for character progression even though there is already a ton

The sceptic in us all might frown upon the latest in the long line of " HD remasters " with the Dead Island: Definitive Collection , which includes both of Dead Island: Definitive Edition and Dead Island Riptide: Definitive Edition , as well as the bonus side-scrolling action game; Dead Island:...

Improved visuals have helped bring games into new era; Great value when bought as a collection; As always; co-op enhances the experience; All previously released DLC

Still suffers from occasional screen tearing; Fetch quests can still get tedious

Here's a question for you. What's the most important thing you'll need in a zombie apocalypse Is it a weapon or a medkit An ability to run really fast Perhaps even an immunity to the infection, if that's what's making people 'go zombie' like it is here in Dead Island

Creates a really good atmosphere; Four player co-op; So much content..

...but this might be a problem if you get easily bored; Co-op sometimes suffers from animation frame loss; Awkward inventory

Back in September of 2011 Techland released their most anticipated title, Dead Island. As the game launched, it was a bloody mess. After a few patches later, the game finally worked and the DLC train could start to roll in.

one of the few time I agree with the "game of the year" Its one of them games you go back to for fun and mayhem, craft your own weapon.

Kill the zombies! I really like this game. It actually took me a while to get into it. There are side quests to do if you want to or just run around killing zombies. Weapons do degrade, you earn experience, money, and can find weapons. There is no manual saved game, just checkpoints.

Zombies are far too synonymous with modern gaming and current culture. Whether it be DLC expansions, full-featured zombie modes, or dedicated titles, we're experiencing an over saturation of the undead.
