Ive yet to play Dead Island, is it worth picking up? is there more to it than kill zombies, looked liked an arcade game when i looked at it b4, racking up points from killing zombies

I highly recommend it. It's a cult classic. Killing the zombies is very satisfying. Weapons in the game consist mainly with melee type weapons so it's not your typical Left 4 Dead clone running around shooting. There is actually some strategy.

Also, the RPG elements in the game are awesome, making some very unique and entertaining weapons upgrades and mods.

4 player co-op with you friends is a BLAST.

The story is actually a reasonable story. Still a lot of your typical fetch quests side mission types but you can't go wrong with an open world zombie killing game with RPG elements on a tropical island.

I recommend it. You can find a used copy out there for $20

Very honest recommendation, I concur. Single player is a pretty nerve wreaking and lonely experience and I wouldn't recommend the game if you have no one to play it with. Play it with a buddy or three and this game is an absolute joy. Co-op saved it.

Edit: Play it on analogue melee mode. Adds depth to the combat. (You use the stick to choose which way to swipe, instead of just mashing The shoulder button.)

I picked it up on sale for the PC not long after launch. Sure, its a little rough around the edges, but I enjoyed it. Pretty basic plot, pretty basic RPG elements, but picked up used or cheap. Its worth a play through, no doubt. Especially if played online/co-op.

Admittedly, they're isnt much other than, go here, do/complete that, kill them. But when you break it down, isnt that the basics of most games.

£10-15, well worth it IMO. Good 20+ hours to be had.

Those men are deceiving you, the game is a mindless hack and slash, no tactics thanks to endless zombie aggro(the game has it's moments of satisfaction though), corny characters, and did i mention a broken weapon system AND leveling system, the story is ass too, and the environments leave something to be desired.

In other words it's only fun for co-op. Oh yeah you don't get a gun until like an hour or 2 in, and you can't carry that much ammo but a whole bunch of WEAK ASS melee weapons lying around so just hack and slash it. Rented it right here, and you should too.
