    Can tell the open-world zombie games started with this game. Thus, it needs to be known and respected.

    really great game that is fun with friends. great mixture of pure mindless fun and RP aspects. only recently rediscovered it due to it having being banned in germany in the past. everyone who wants an action driven game with a nice story and great graphics to play with friends cant do anything wrong with buying dead island.

    Yes, Dead Island has its bugs and problems. But you know what? That's okay. It's still incredbily fun, and the combat & crafting system is satisfying through and through. The world is gorgeous, the characters, interesting, the quests fun.

    для меня однозначно лучшая игра про зомби, хотя и не люблю эту тематику. Dying Light мне не зашел абсолютно

    dead island ist ein fantastisches spiel mit einen unglaublichen Atmosphäre und tollen Insel kulisse. Die waffen mods bis hin zu schusswaffen und Nahkampfs waffen sin Abwechslungsreich und die story ist auch ganz okey.die zombies sind bedrohlich die spezial zombies sind eglig und der sound ist gewaltig.Das einzigste kritik punt ist die träge Steuerungs und machmal vor kommenden bugs.92/100

    Fiz o 100% dele na "Steam" e sei o quanto esse jogo é desafiador e empolgante, claro que em muitos momentos pensei em desistir ainda mais quando termina o jogo e ainda falta algumas conquistas para serem feitas.
    Nesse caso insisti e percebi que cada vez mais que tu jogo mais habilidade tu consegue desenvolver no jogo e nesse caso ele acaba te envolvendo pois te prende conforme tu insiste.

    Dead Island is maybe rough around the edges, has things that could have been better and has some strange solutions to gaming mechanics, but really, who cares? The main thing, close combat with zombies on an open environment, is both exceptionally well done and most importantly, great fun. Even alone. In the land of blindingly pretty, but simplified tubeshooters the ugly zombie game is the king. [Sept 2011]

    Dead Island has plenty of reasons to be likeable: a satisfying duration, enough freedom and interactivity to create addiction and enough potential to become a classic. And although it isn't what the elitists would call a mandatory title, I think it's infectious enough for me to pull my friend's sleeve to buy the game too.

    It's the mission design that proves most disappointing. Its scale is highly ambitious but Dead Island's population of living dead aren't enough to compensate for its barren lack of variety and an increasingly tedious structure.
