After finally getting my hands on this games you couldn't pull me away from it. I loved it. After playing co-op, completing the story, and getting about 900 gamerpoints in achievements I started to see why this game got a 7. At first I disagreed but after awhile I couldn't deny the fact that there Isn't a whole lot to this game. You kill zombies, you do some fun missions and a ton of annoying fetch quests and you run into bugs, sometimes irritating bugs and sometimes mission halting bugs. The most common annoyances were the GPS or waypoint, whatever you prefer to call it, constantly screwing up and leading me in the wrong direction. The second annoyance was the god awful and constant texture pop up. It is confirmed, Chrome engine 5 has more texture pop up than Unreal engine 3, a hard task to beat. While killing zombies is fun this game just got boring after beating the story. As for the story, I say "what story?" because it was terrible and couldn't give 2 craps about it anyway. But then again, I wasen't playing this game for the story. The game looks great minus the aforementioned texture pop up and the sound is ok but the controls felt odd. Aiming was fine but the player movement, such as strafing, just felt unnatural and heavy. Dead Island's controls often left me with sore hands.
Overall it's a fun game to play but like I said above, rent it first.
