 dead island theme for lols. http://bit.ly/gyXaNL

Well well well, I have been giving the challenge of not mentioning the words Zombies, Dead or Island, so for a laugh I'll see if I can have a go at doing ittt! Well here we go...Yipee! :D

^Appreciate dat awesome edit btw. Took me 20 minutes to do, recognise my hard work. 

So the game has been released for almost a month now and I got it a few weeks back, currently like over 70 hours into it on two separate characters, completed the game and planning on getting DLC when it is released! We all saw the trailer, I think it was back in May with the family on vacation and how it went horribly wrong due to the un-foreseen circumstances, some of us loved it, some of us hated it, some even shed a manly tear. The game was highly anticipated since that trailer was released, but did it live up to the hype?

I'd say at this moment, 25/09/2011, the game is an uncut diamond, and Deep Silver are chiselling away to perfect this diamond of a game. Yes it has it's bugs but every great game has them at the beginning *coughinb4skyrimcough*. Some of the bugs in this game can be very annoying at times and could even stop you from progressing through at that point (Solved by either death or reloading the game) and some are just downright hilarious to see. Like one time me and ma buddy Soph were doing an escort mission through the city, and then all of a sudden, the man disappeared and all that was showing was his shins downwards, was quite LOLish on da mic! Deep Silver are hard at work though with already patches out for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 squashing some of the bugs currently out there!


The beauty of this game I find is that you feel as though you are actually in a apocalypse. The amount of times you will sh** yourself through this game, jump back, jump in your seat, scream, hide behind your controller will be immense. Hearing the screams and growls of the special infected, realising what it was, cautiously creeping round the corner, notice the Ram and you could run for the London Olympics. It is definitely the best game in my eyes featuring the undead and gives the possibly most realistic experience of what it could be like during an event like this.

Awwwww boy! I love the graphics in this game! Yes the game play which was released after the first trailer didn't exactly show the greatest graphics, but I think that was an early dev version, but the graphics compared are superb! It makes the whole gore system that how much more brutal! Being able to target limbs, chest and head and just chopping the flesh and bone away until there is nothing left! Yes the gore goes down in stages such as skin > muscle > bone/organs > nothingness! You will just love going through all the different areas within the game and brutalising everything in sight!

I won't go too much into the storyline of things as I don't want to spoil much of the game for everyone, but it is a pretty good storyline within the game. It is just what you make of it and how you go about it during each of the missions with the game. It can be much more fun if you make it. 

A few complaints I do have of the game is the lack of weapons during the beginning. You always seem to come across the same ol' weapon during the beginning stages and it does become a bit boring and stale killing with the same thing, it is only once you start progressing more, you get more unique weapons and mods which make up for it in the long run. Also they aren't very imaginative which is kind of a let down in some cases. Maybe more to be added in some DLCs? The Infected! ARGH They p*ss me off so fricken much it is unreal! You'll see what I mean if you play the game! Urm, it is not a massive issue but I sometimes find myself returning to the same place over and over again, while it is not too bad it does become a bit boring exploring the same area over and over again because someone forgot a prized possession. There are a few other minor issues which are not really worth mentioning. 

Overall, I think this game is brilliant and well worth a play through, I have seen it in Game for £46.99 or something like that. Avoid anything above £35 in my opinion, anything below and I would suggest buying it. The game has few bugs which are being dealt with quickly, the Co-Op mode is single-player mode just obviously with another player, no different features at the moment. Just buy this game...Just not over £35...
