Dead Island. ZOMBIES! (Review)

Finally its here folks, Dead Island. The most unknown anticipated game of the year! So I think anyway... This gory and gruesome, first person, online, zombie survival RPG, hit shelves last week. So grab an axe and lets cut off some zombie heads.

The game play in general feels natural and if you're like me, playing late at night in a small dark room alone, the game can put you on the edge of your seat. Dead Island incorporates 4 player online mode for the PC,  XBL and PlayStation online; so zombie slaying can become a family activity("MOM! Get in here! What do you mean what are we doing?! We're killing zombies!). However, the quest objectives seem a little strange at times, you might find small holes in the story line and lack of game play instructions/controls. Other than that the game itself is amazing.

You start out able to select from one of the 4 main characters who happen to be on vacation during the zombie outbreak(dont think that's ironic, It was planned). Game play in the beginning is a bit slow till you start getting quests to do. But hang in there, the games worth the wait. Progressing through the game play you earn experience and gain levels(awesome idea), you earn stats and you can upgrade and skills as well(Just like every other RPG). Don't forget to kick(I didn't know how to till after the first hour or 2 of playing). Your character is only able to hold 4-8 weapons depending on its level(and if you include your fists), but all the weapons can be modified and upgraded if you know the right people. But watch out for their durability, and repair them before they break and become unusable.

So that's it, in a nutshell. You unlock new areas throughout the game, go to new city's and the zombies level with your level. There are a few points, when you get higher in level, where 2 people isn't an option; Its a must have. 

Hope everyone enjoys this game as much as I do!
