    Excellent definitive edition, Techland have done a great job at bring the beloved franchise back to it former glory. Dead Island 2's arrival later this year has me excited.

    Dead Island: Definitive edition is/was a great form to get the new-gen users to play the original Dead Island, but it's not that good, like the fact of using the downlode code for riptide instead of a DVD or Blu-Ray Disc, but hey, i still like it.

    I played on my Xbox and i really love this game . Graphic much better then 2011 version and with fps boost feature on Xbox you have Super satisfying experience , 60fps with no lag or stutter. Dead island riptide and dead island have good story , i know is not great but for me game is perfect .

    I must say, but I really liked this game. Being that it has the DLC, a great variety of customizing weapons with whatever there is, the funny bugs that do not affect the game (Some), in this traveling from here to there the map of Banoi, the zombies "Realistic" (Because they even fall to the ground with a kick), the hordes of zombies that kill you quickly and the missions that are funnyI must say, but I really liked this game. Being that it has the DLC, a great variety of customizing weapons with whatever there is, the funny bugs that do not affect the game (Some), in this traveling from here to there the map of Banoi, the zombies "Realistic" (Because they even fall to the ground with a kick), the hordes of zombies that kill you quickly and the missions that are funny because I don't understand why the NPCs do them themselves, but at least they kept me entertained. In short, I really liked the game, because it is a real survival style in the situation that you don't have a firearm and you have to improvise with whatever you have. Also, even zombies can corner you and use a perfect combo to kill you.… Expand

    This made me laugh afew times a great game that starts off funny then next minute your fighting forever spawning zombies it soon gets repetitive and soon become over run that's my only rant but I like this series

    Two ho-hum games that are aging quickly despite their youth, and a new retro title that adds very little to the equation.

    For its budget price the Dead Island: Definitive Collection offers two solid open world experiences that have never looked or played better on console as well as a retro-styled novelty that can be enjoyed in short bursts. It’s just a shame that the changes made to both Dead Island and Riptide are only visual, as both have gameplay aspects that could do with a little more polish.

    Dead Island Definitive Collection is a fine collection of three games. With updates graphics and some new extras, the games are better then ever.
