About the Game

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 four 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 utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense 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 splendor with diverse environments like lush forests and detailed city environments.

If that's so I'm buying it (eventually). I want to hear CP's reviews first.

I really disagree specially with L4D and this might be good

When games become about who you are killing rather than the plot and gameplay mechanics....you are failing.

The Plot is a Zombie infestation. What's wrong with that?

I don't, and haven't.

I have never even bothered to play Force Unleashed.

SnakeXJones · 09-06-2011, 05:20 PM

Unfortunately it seems this trailer has nothing at all to do with the plot or tone of Dead Island. Apparently the story and cutscenes are pretty weak.

However, it sounds like a lot of fun. I'll definitely Gamefly it and possibly buy it if it's as fun as it sounds.
