Dead Island

    Product Review

    Release Date: 09 September 2011

    If you've been dreaming about paradise, we know a place where you can make those dreams come true--the Island of Banoi. Just off the coast of Papua New Guinea, located south of the Equator and just north of Australia. Until very recently much of the island was wild and primitive and totally untouched by the modern world. Even though the capital, Moresby, was founded by Australian settlers in 1895, many places deep in the interior still have never been seen by western eyes. As a guest of the Royal Palms Resort, the player's stay was supposed to be a dream holiday; a luxurious getaway to the beautiful beaches of a tropical paradise. But faced with the reality of a zombie apocalypse, there is only one thing left to do: Survive.

    This is Dead Island... a paradise to die for...

    Terror. Violence. Madness. Bedlam. A holiday paradise gone mad. A tropical island turns into total chaos after a mysterious zombie outbreak. Cut off from the rest of the world, the player’s only chance to survive is to fight to the death and find a way to escape from the island. Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to 4 players in co-op mode.

    Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilising found items as weapons for self-defence and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction. In addition to satisfying even the most bloodthirsty action fan’s fantasy, Dead Island also features role-playing elements which allow the player to develop one of the game’s unique character classes according to their preferences, all the while learning new skills and fresh tactics during their journey through the perilous environments of the island. What’s more, anytime during a game up to four players can seamlessly join together and experience the intense combat and immersive story with cooperative gameplay.

    With the all-new Chrome Engine 5 powering Dead Island, the game will use the latest installment of Techland’s acclaimed proprietary game engine, allowing the player to experience the tropical island paradise in graphical splendour with diverse environments like lush forests and detailed city environments.

    Dead Island

    Dead Island is an excellent game, especially if you love the zombie apocalypse scenario. If you like the shooter element from Left 4 Dead, mixed with RPG elements, then you will like this game.

    This game is awesome!

    So far Dead Island is excellent. Straight forward and putting foot to backside. The game is like a mixture of Left for Dead and Borderlands if that helps. Left 4 dead because of the monsters. Borderlands when it comes to picking up items and leveling up. You have three tiers and depending on who you pick and what tiers you level up, there are multiple combinations. Also while you are playing, there are other people in the game that you can group up with who may happen to be around your level.

    Zombie Island

    After the trailer hope that lots of drama will be in game. After playing it I forget about everything on the trailer and fight against zombies with fun. Co-op is really strong and good. Hope that everyone will play it, cause it's good. Better gameplay after patches and open island is looking awesome. If you like zombies we are waiting you in the island.

    Disappointing

    This game was disappointing, I'd heard some good stuff but can honestly say I found it hard to work out. As a result it became boring.

    Dead Island is really, really awesome. The island is so beautiful with amazing views. The combat system is excellent, it's so immersive. In short, I recommend buying this game, you won't regret it!

    Skyrim in a island with Zombies... kind of

    I was playing Skyrim, and bought Dead Island now I'm hooked on it. Ok, the main story is nothing special so far, and the quests could be a little more elaborate but I think the game excels in the combat system - It's a lot of fun smashing zombies heads, building and upgrading weapons and levelling up your character. Not to mention that you can play with up to 3 other friends in a co-op zombie mayhem. All in all, good fun!
