Review - Dead Island

Zombies! I know right? They're everywhere. Dead Island is the most recent installment of console zombie action. So what do you want out of your zombie game? Ability to kill zombies? Check. Kill them using multiple weapons? Check. Repair your weapon and eat food laying around to recover health ...? Wait a minute! This is Fallout ... but with zombies ... but Fallout had ghouls ... but those were different.

Dead Island features 4 player online co-op mode ala Left 4 Dead but without as many zombies. Maybe more realistic (I know we're talking about zombies) in number, and harder to kill ala Shaun of the Dead. Repair your weapon at the many work tables using the money found in suit cases, backpack, or in the pockets of the undead you slaughter on your adventure. Earn XP and money for helping other survivors, modify weapons to maximize your damage, and place points in a talent tree that is actually not so bad.

I would have loved for this to have a split screen muliplayer or at least an offline co-op mode, but I guess they couldn't do that ... really? Left 4 Dead can handle it why can't Dead Island? Anyway, beat it, enjoyed it, I've got it selling up on ebay now.
