    Much better than the review make it be. I expected playing some crap and quitting after 15min based on reviews, but ended up completing it and having a blast doing so. Story is interesting, there's no dead moments, it always keep going and adding new stuff and fckeup events. I would even say presentation of the story is better than the Dead Island game. Gameplay is fast and shooting actionMuch better than the review make it be.

    Not worth a 10, but I'm balancing for these whining kids who don't know what's good and what's not.    … Expand

    Zombiegemetzel und -geballer im Comicstil - ist ein schönes Siel für ein bis zwei Tage.
    11 Level, die ersten 5 gehen verdammt schnell vorbei, ich habe ca 6 Stunden gebraucht.
    Es macht Spaß, ein DLC ist enthalten, das sind so Bunkerlabore, da kann man weitere Waffen und vertonte Aufzeichnungen finden und sich durch viele Zombies ballern oder vorbeischleichen bzw. heimlich killen.

    Am Ende gibt´s noch eine Art Bossfight und Sequenz.
    Ansonsten hat das Spiel am Ende noch ein besonderen Moment, ich sag dazu nur, geht bei den Credits nicht weg, die sind auch nicht so lang!
    Spielt sich gut, sehr flüssig und es ist einem vollkommen selber überlassen ob man leise vorgeht oder einfach durchrennt.    … Expand

    I am willing to challenge any player here. And any negative review you read prob didn't even get as far as Area 9 and the challenges here make DI1 and DL1 seam like child's play. Maybe that's why there are so many children writing reviews these days.

    I also read some comments about it being a cartoon styled game. Hmm well I guess you same folks didn't like didn't like Spiderman: Into    I am willing to challenge any player here.

    I also read some comments about it being a cartoon styled game. Hmm well I guess you same folks didn't like didn't like Spiderman: Into the Multiverse, and besides aren't all games "cartoons" after all? Last i checked, my real blood isn't pixelated. The special infected in this game are the most inventive I have encountered yet: Fast, able to sniff you out, recognize you at distance, deadly, and did I say FAST? If the special infected in this game were in any other zombie game, it would be game over for most of the reviewers here before they even started the game.

    How many people paid for and waited on DL2. My son did with baited breath, got the pre-release stuff, and waited, and waited, then when game was released... mmmm ho humm. And he is an MLG'er that I would put $1000 up against any player here, and this game scares him a little more than he would ever admit.

    A thousand bucks ain't so much, to loose that is.    … Expand

    3-in-1: a poor stealth game, a primitive adventure game and a boring action game. [01/2015, p.50]

    A zombie survival game with Lost references. The storyline almost makes the lackluster survival action bearable. [Jan 2015]

    The concept and story of Escape Dead Island show some interesting ideas, but fighting, locations and exploration are not very interesting.
