Dead Island

Gameplay

The road to this goal is not easy and crowded with undead enemies or people who are willing to take unfair advantage of the situation. As an ordinary person you do not have the usual arsenal of guns. Instead, you can grab literally anything that comes along and beat some zombies with that. There are different combinations of items you find, so for example you can electrify your opponents. The way your hero fights depends not only on how you control them. Each character is described by a set of statistics and skills, besides, there is also the fatigue index.

Throughout the game the main character visits various parts of the island, including the jungle, luxury hotels, and vast beaches. In addition to the undead, on your way you meet people who are not infected. Some of them form gangs robbing whatever and whoever they can. The rest is just trying to survive. The latter will give you some jobs, trade items for money or simply get you some help. Main story and side missions together make up about 150 quests. There are also a lot of items that you can find while wandering through the island.

Technology

The visuals in Dead Island for PC, X360 and PS3 is generated by the fifth edition of Chrome Engine. This is also responsible for the co-op mode that allows you to or leave someone else's game at any time without even leaving the single-player mode. Apart from the co-op for up to four people, Dead Island offers some classic multiplayer modes too.
