    Talk about SHOCKINGLY AWESOME!

    First-person games have never appealed to me, but when I played this game, I have to say I was REALLY impressed! Being able to modify weapons to make a newer and more powerful weapon, finding different special items to add to weapons or to trade for money to help in this task..... The one downer I noticed was that a lot of zombies seem to repeat themselves in different levels of the game. But fighting different zombies and getting decent amounts of rewards from each is a great addition! I also appreciate the fact the different playable characters had different strengths and abilities. Great stories from each, as well. I am REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on the sequel!

    Dead Island? More like Super FUN Island!

    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.

    Filled with both pros and cons

    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.

    ''Bloody Brilliant''

    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 bodies that haven't turned into zombies make the same noise when striking the body as zombies do when hit.
