Dead Island Gameplay Footage

Initially, I wasn't impressed when it was revealed that the gameplay wouldn't be as serious as first implied by that first trailer, but this game looks like it could be quite fun.

It looks like it might be quite a lenghty game, so maybe rental isn't the best option.

A few things I don't like from the gameplay footage:

1) The numbers all over the place that occured when he hit a zombie.

2) The voice acting.

3) The characters look pretty standard too.

I think there's already a thread on this, but nevermind.

I think this is one of those games that I'll wait for reviews on before I even consider purchasing it. There's quite a few "must buys" coming out in the next couple of months, and for me, this isn't one of them at the moment.

Looks like Left for Dead.

Left for Dead is possibly the most overrated game series in the history of consoles.

I like the idea of it but nah, i'd rather spend my money on a more worthwhile game.

LFD is a blast of a game, full of tension, sudden adrenalin rushes and some meaty killing sprees. problem is, it's short. Very limited, and very one dimensional.

Dead Island looks more interesting, but not enough to really peak my interest. Will be one I'll maybe look at pre-owned.

Left for Dead is a superb game, online that is as offline co-op with the computer can be a bit tedious. I bought Dead Island and have spent the past 30 minutes playing it and am far from impressed so far. I don't know whether it's possible to change the sensitivity of the controls but if not then I will struggle with this game. Hopefully it will improve as I go on but at the moment I'm of the opinion that Dead Rising 2 is a much better version of this game.

Every review I've seen said it is a great game, but there are some bad bugs.

This is the first game i've bought in about a year and kind of wish i didn't bother. I'm not sure if i'm just getting bored of gaming in general or its just a rubbish game.

Hopefully the story develops because these side missions are so boring, meh.

I was in HMV today and was torn between this and Deus Ex. I've heard amazing things about the latter and mixed reviews about DI.

I plumped for Deus Ex, i'll get this when it's below £20, or i'll probably just forget it when Dead Rising 2 with Frank West comes out.

Is this worth getting? I'm sure it's pretty cheap now and I'm looking for a decent zombie game, other than L4D.

Have you played either of the Dead Rising games? They are both much better than this. I will give Dead Island another go one day but I found it very disappointing on my first few sessions on it.
