DEAD island= call juarez the cartel 90 percent, but with a open world sand box to go crazy in it has so sound FUN :)
The game is set in the fictional island of Banoi, located off the coast of Papua New Guinea. The main characters wake up in the Palms Resort hotel to find the island attacked by zombies and mysteriously, they are immune to whatever is making people into zombies. As they try to find and help other survivors, they must also find a way to escape the island as well.
Game:
If you've ever played a game called "call juarez cartel" you'll distinctively feel an element as both games run very much alike , both utilize the same engine: (chrome-engine5 ) but one difference is dead islands infested with zombies or profound tone would be "walkers" that nestle them selves right around you. but if you haven't played "call juarez" then your not missing out on much as both are distinctively same.
Sound:
Playing dead island with headphones shines. from standalone point. hearing zombies when having no idea when the hell they'll attack can become creepy "I STRONGLY RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS GAME WITH HEAD PHONES ON" or it'll be a game that feels less immersive.
Graphics:
Chrome-engine5 has been around for some time now, but overall it's good engine just like unreal engine but only if treated right it can do things really well, unfortunately can at times struggle rendering environmental objects on screen. but from design stand point it's actually nice vivid world ready suck you in.
Multiplayer:
Coop consists of 1-4 players just brawling out having fun and just lose your self immersed experience. cant be played offline need internet connection play single player
Pros:
Lovely detailed world thanks to chrome-engine, great absorbing sound. addictive coop, vehicles to utilize, bloody gore, collection systems very rewarding as all items counts towards one ,br />
Cons:
No weather system equals less immersion, no choice in characters, story's stale, npc=non playable characters dialogue becomes tediously repetitive, how you die feels to easy, coop match makings broken but just in-case please check your (nat connection) on your modem as it differs for all.
Final thought's
Overall it's fun game regardless if story's bad, but the idea's to have fun and enjoy your self while playing it. and that's what makes dead island interesting.
Coop is blast
Single player isn't a blast since you cannot play this with out internet.
