The player is drawn into the world of Dead Island on the brink of a mysterious epidemic that suddenly, and without warning, breaks out on the fictional island of Banoi. 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. The Island of Banoi: 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. Banoi’s lush tropical beauty offers many natural wonders: from verdant rain forests to mountain highlands to virginal white sand beaches. Take a diving tour and experience the wonder of coral reefs teaming with life. Hike the mountain highlands or explore Banoi’s extensive network of mysterious caves. Along the way you will encounter all manner of rare birds, butterflies, fish, reptiles, and mammals, including the great apes of the Banoi highlands. It’s a sportsman’s paradise with world-class rock climbing, fishing, hunting, sailing, and kayaking. Or if that sounds too taxing, find yourself a private beach, splash in the waves and soak up the sun. Meet the friendly people of Banoi. They are proud of their rich cultural heritage. The indigenous art is world renowned and unbelievably varied, reflecting the many local tribes with their own myths, legends and language. Come see what Heaven on Earth looks like. Come to beautiful Banoi. The pearl in the necklace of the Oceania Archipelago.

It’s not a game, it’s a survival simulator.,
Small Disclaimer: I have not yet finished the game but feel I have experienced it enough to give an accurate description of mechanics, atmosphere etc. There are no spoilers in this review. If me reviewing the game before completing is a problem for you then please stop reading here.
It’s truly difficult to talk about Dead Island and do it any justice. This is an experience, one that each player will make unique for his or herself. I can’t tell you how sprinting away from a horde of infected and listening to them screaming in rage as they give chase makes you feel. Or locking yourself in a bungalow, frantically searching for a couple of energy drinks just so you can descend a little further into the nightmare that is Dead Island.
It’s those moments that make it so hard to describe. It’s amazing how much this game changed me in the nine straight hours I played last night. The minute I was unleashed onto the breathtakingly beautiful Island Resort with only a paddle in hand I thought I had this game figured. At first I ran into every encounter headfirst, merrily swinging my paddle around like a manic zombie slayer. After being torn to shreds several times I rethought my strategy. I became a survivor. The enemies in this game are dangerous and relentless and melee combat is brutal and unforgiving. I will now avoid large mobs if I can and when I can’t I am using my head and searching for a way out while trying to keep the zombies in front of me. I am no longer trying to rack up my kill combo; I am fighting to stay alive.
I could draw many comparisons on this game comparing it to the likes of fallout, borderlands, resident evil, dead rising, left 4 dead etc. But tons of other, better reviews have already done that and yes I will concede it does take things from all of those titles but the game itself is completely original for one big reason. It’s the feelings you have when playing this game. Never in my life have I ever felt so much dread in rounding a corner praying I don’t walk into a group of the infected. Then the sense of complete and utter hopelessness when I do, you back yourself into a corner and get ready to fight with whatever you have on hand and the sense of grim victory when you finally win the hard earned battle. Yes this game takes parts from all those games, but this isn’t a game, this is an experience and I urge you to go in with that in mind. Now lets delve into what makes this game good and not so good:
Pros:
Combat:
The combat is what truly makes this game shine. You aren’t a super hero or a generic soldier; you are an average person thrown into something bigger than his or herself. The infected will show you no mercy. If you are mobbed with them then you are as good as dead. If you run in swinging your stamina will deplete quickly and you will be left defenseless and you again, will die. You must be methodical in combat, use any advantage you can find. This game will not hold your hand, if you are outnumbered then you need to find the upper hand or flee.
The combat is gritty, realistic and satisfying. I feel like a human when I am fighting. If I am mobbed then I don’t have a chance in landing a blow, being off balance makes you feel powerless and defenseless and rightfully so. But if I stay just out of reach by using tight alleys, obstacles and backing away I might get out of the battle alive.
Each infected reacts differently when struck; I might break a zombies arm sending it stumbling back into the rest of them buying me a moment or two to replenish lost stamina. I did this a couple of times and thought I had found a winning formula for the rest of the games mobs. The next battle I found myself in I broke the zombies arm only to have it lash out with the ruined limb and send me stumbling back allowing the rest of the creatures to move in for the kill. And kill me they did all because I got too complacent.
Now every time I walk into a fight I don’t know what the outcome will be but I have learned to be careful. It’s this that makes the game so exciting and engaging. I have never experienced such a savage glee smashing a zombies head only for it to cut into slow motion to show me the creature spinning through the air after a hard fought battle.
Zombies:
I’m giving these guys a category all of their own because they are so well done. They all look unique, you will never see the same creature in a mob and it really lends to the immersion of the game. I like how in the resort you will be fighting bikini clad beasts but the further you venture into the town you will find them sporting work clothes and gang wear. It again adds to the immersion.
The zombies aren’t just eye candy they are also believable. In the combat section I wrote how well they reacted to me, but they also interact with the world in cool ways. Driving by zombies you will see them eating their…

SUPERB ZOMBIE GAME THAT MAY END UP BEING MISSED BY MANY!!!,
I’ll admit that I had my doubts on this one, even after reading all I could find on it and watching trailer after trailer of graphical zombie goodness. It turns out that, so far, this is the most fun I’ve had playing a game this year. I currently about 10 hours in playing it and have just found some guns. Yes, it does take a bit of time to acquire guns and ammo is somewhat scarce, but this adds a whole new element that melee doesn’t. It took me about 2 or 3 hours to get used to the controls and menus and such. Select pulls up your map. Up on the D-pad pulls up your inventory. There is a bit of experimenting to be done with Dead Island before it becomes second nature as the instruction manual is very lackluster and there are no in-game tutorials. But don’t let that detract you from this superb zombie game!
The graphics looks amazing on my 47″ LED TV. The music is quite diverse and fits the mood of the game perfectly. You can play as one of 4 players, but choose wisely because each one has a different skill path they can embark upon. Let me also say this: This is a MAMMOTH of a game as far as length is concerned. By the time you go through the main campaign and all of the side quests I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it ended up being a 30 hour affair! Fine by me! The more the merrier.
To me, what really stands out with this game is how fun and addicting it is. Once you get going and figure out the basics, putting down the controller is the equivalent of a crack addict going cold turkey. I couldn’t stand waiting for my copy from Amazon to come via UPS today, so I went to GameStop at midnight last night, got it, then went brain dead(pun intended) for 6 hours straight, slept for about 3 hours and played another 4 more. I’ll lose return shipping sending it back, but it’ll be worth it knowing I’ve already gotten to play a large chunk of the game. Needless to say, I had to take a break from my 2nd assault on Banoi Island because my eyes were/are still burning. But what amazing fun the game is and I’m sure will continue to be! There are certain times where you have to use your brain to get out of hairy situations and it will get your pulse racing. The fall onslaught of games is upon us and Dead Island starts off the assault with a BANG!
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this ends up being a sleeper hit, since the developer(Deep Silver?) is not well known and they did have a huge budget with which to promote the game. What they achieved with the limited resources they had is nothing short of amazing. Go buy this now!

Borderlands meets Left 4 Dead!,
I’ve only had 2 hours put into this so far but I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite games this year.
First of all, if you’re buying this game because you liked the tacked on afterthought zombie mode in any of those overrated Call of Duty games, you’re going to be majorly disappointed. The whole point of this game is survival on a zombie infested island, not to fight off hordes of zombies from a house. If you enjoyed Borderlands or like games where you have to do quests, loot and kill zombies, this will surely be one of your best purchases this year.
The graphics in this game aren’t going to win any awards, but that’s not to say they’re horrible in any way. The landscape has a lot of pop in textures at times. The physics are kind of hit and miss as well since you can kick through solid things to hit zombies/they can run at you through things but the items never budge (usually an umbrella and sometimes a fence). I was also disappointed to find that throwing a knife at a throwable propane tank didn’t blow it up. But never fear, for if you have a gun and find a propane tank, throw it and shoot it to burninate any zombies around it.
As with Left 4 Dead and Borderlands, this game is best played co-op. As you do quests, many of the zombies you encounter may be a bit too much for just 1 person. It’s doable, but know that if you die, you lose 10% of your cash. Sadly, split-screen isn’t supported so you do need 3 psn/xbla friends who all have the game online to play with them.
The story in this game takes a backseat for those just wanting to get to slaying the undead. You can skip every cutscene and not feel like you’re missing anything, or really care. The dialogue in this game is pretty stereotypical anyways so unless you like hearing f this, f that, jc this, jfc that, skipping every cutscene and dialogue will become second nature pretty quickly.
There are tons of weapons scattered through the game but this game has a very heavy focus on melee weapons so you’re going to find a large supply of paddles, bats, pipes, knives, brass knuckles, wrenches, etc. Guns are pretty scarce in this game but with the ability to run around kicking the snot out of zombies, it feels ok. Health packs are scarce as well however energy drinks replenish your health and seem to always be near by in areas you’d need them the most. You can’t inventory them however so unless you really need them, just leave them for later in case you need them. You’re going to do a ton of backtracking/exploring in this game and you’re able to drive vehicles after a few quests. You eventually are able to modify weapons after obtaining blueprints/mod abilities to create things like a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it or an electric paddle. Don’t put too much money into your weapons though as you’re likely to constantly be finding something better. You can carry 4 weapons at first but unlock more slots as you progress and you can swap out your inventory at any time. You have to pull up your weapon wheel to select your current weapon rather than hitting triangle or Y. Also, like the first fear game, your flashlight battery depletes so conserve your flashlight for the pitch black areas only. You can find batteries laying around but they aren’t too common.
Each character has their own specialty. One is good with ranged weapons, the other melee, another with guns and another with short ranged weapons. There isn’t much to differentiate them outside of the skill tree. Like Borderlands, your character has 3 trees of ability upgrades. As you level up, you get ability points to use on these that do things like increase your accuracy, increase critical hit damage/chances, decrease the amount of money needed to repair weapons, etc.
All in all, this game offers a whole lot of content and a rather large island to explore. With a group of friends, you’ll have no trouble sinking hours upon hours into this game as you loot and lay waste to the undead. Any zombie slaying fanatic will love this game.
Note that this review is based on the PS3 version of the game.
