"Really enjoying the slaughter !!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is just mindless zombie killing… And its beautiful!! Beautiful both in looks: the graphics are amazing (on an i5, 4GBRam, GTX570, onboard 5.1 audio), and the sheer enjoyment of ridding the island of thousands of mindless zombies any way you want. The RPG element with leveling up your favourite zombie destruction method (pipes, bats, knives. Sickles etc, etc, and later guns) and the weapon modification/up­grade system make it a real joy. Quests abound, which is OK as that just gets you more zombie kill'n. Really what struck me first was the ambient beauty of my surroundings both visual and audible. The Jungles were lush and full: trees, uprooted trees, mist, streams, contaminated pools, lurking zombies, towns felt real: burned out cars (some still working and could be driven), trash blowing, zombies lurking. Well worth the buy for a few hours each night of strategic zombie mayhem, winding down after a hard days work. Probably a bit boring if your hard days work is as a real zombie killer, but otherwise well worth it!

Absolutely loving this game, it's very melee focused which automatically makes it great, that combined with the HUGE environment to explore and the awesome story, makes it definitely worth buying!

"Amazingly Gruesome"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Dead Island is an amazing game no questions asked. Only a few things that make this game only 4 stars is the map. Its very similar to Far Cry 2 as in driving around most of the time to get to your destination but this is on a island so I understand that there has to be some sort of transportation but it isnt really my type of gameplay. Co-op is great on this game. You almost need someone with you while you play which makes the game even more exciting. If I could I would rate this game 4 and a half stars but in this case only 4 stars.
