Dead Island

[Ricky Chad]

So I got this game for xmas from a friend and wasn't sure at first. But when I played it I have been blown away. I only get to play these types of games once the kids are in bed, but have found I can't put it down. I loved Dead Rising and Res Evil. But this one brings a more realistic and scary approach.
The graphics are amazing, the controls nice and the open world is great. If I had to pick any fault, perhaps its that the charcters are all twats, but maybe that's what makes the whole island feel like a world of hedonism being cast into hell.
As far as films go, the carribean theme reminds me of zombi, and I spotted a few blue zombies like Dawn of the Dead. I hate the fact they call them the infected cos that reminds me of 28 days later (just didn't like it). But would recommend this for any fans of horror games, or open world type stuff.

Thats great to hear i have wanted this since i seen the first trailer a few years back. When it came out it was very buggy so i avoided it but you sir have just sold to for me cheers. By the way i dont pay attention to reviews rather hear from gamers.

Things that bother me in games are glitches, bad frame rates, and freezes. I haven't encoutered any of these.

Yeah those things can be a deal breaker for me. Skyrim on PS3 is like that which is so annoying i have not played it now for weeks because of it. Fingers for a proper patch soon.
