Sounds different from what it looked like initially. Honestly I out right discounted it just because it's another zombie game. And for that reason I'll probably wait till it's cheap, but at least it's a little different from the standard zombie game.

Please tell me how the zombie genre is more saturated than lets say....FPS's? -Left 4 Dead -Dead Rising -Zombie minigames in a FPS don't count as a zombie game.

Seriously I don't get it. There are like 2 series with zombies as the main focus now, and people say there are too many :?

Hey, if the people want more zombies I say give it to them. :P On Topic Looking like a good game for zombie fans out there. Though I would've preferred the Serious Zombie Game I thought we were getting, but this still looks nice. :P

Exactly! Finally, someone that agrees with me. To those people that say there are too many zombie games, show me where... because I'm a huge zombie fan and I "dying" for a good zombie game. And please do not list those crappy top-down arcade shooters like Nation Red and Trapped Dead because those are pretty much garbage (I've played them). Other than the L4D series and Red Dead Redemption (Zombie DLC), which I don't even consider a full-blown, fully focused zombie game.. there isn't anything on the market.

Dead Rising 2.... not my kind of game. It's TOO campy.

And Resident Evil 5? I'm not going to go in the real zombie vs fake zombie debate. They're zombies, just not the ones I am inclined to expect. And that game pretty much sucked, at least for me.

So I'm just going to ignore almost everything on that list except RE5, Dead Rising 2, and Dead Island. How could you even count Plants vs Zombies? You should know by now what kind of zombie game we want and expect. Just because it has something zombie in it doesn't necessarily make it that marquee zombie game.

Bottom line, most of them suck. Either some top-down shooter or multiplayer only zombie co-op game like Killing Floor. I'm referring to something like Dead Island, open-world or sandbox style zombie game that takes itself a little more seriously. Non-campy nature, that focuses on survival, with a good story. There just isn't a zombie game like that out now and I don't expect anyone to make one in the near future.

Resident Evil has zombies nowdays? To be blunt maybe I should say it this way, where are all the GOOD zombie games? a handfull of indie titles and top-down shooters doesn't help much. I wouldn't really call Plants vs Zombies a "Zombie game" More to the point, I hate people saying that just because there are zombies in the game it's a zombie game, might as well call Half-life a zombie game! Starcraft has zombies too! Hell The flood could count if you willing to reach. Zombies are a pop-culture thing of course they will be in alot of game, they are a easy expendable fodder character lazy dev can use at many times without need for motivation or inspiration. When I say "Zombie game" I mean a game that revolves around zombies...

RE is no longer a zombie game, I forgot about DR, never even heard of the others...not that that matters. That's still not that many. We need some good zombie games and Dead Island looks pretty solid. I wrote this game off at first, but it's starting to grow on me.

I think zombie games are fine, but I will agree to an extent that games that have no reason having them needs to be cut out. Like RDR, CoD, Crack Down 2....then again we don't have to play these modes or games....so I still don't see the issue really.

Review was ordinary, didn't explain much in detail but kept insisting that he felt part of the world. Thus this score is pretty meaningless. I'll wait for this on sale.

If 9GN gave it an eight with all the marketing and hypre behind it, it must suck something awful.

Wow wow wow. I didn't know this game was coming to PS3 :o Is there another zombie RPG I'm thinking of thats exclusive to 360? Anyways, looks like I gotta spend more ****in money now.Master_ShakeXXX

Undead Labs is making a 360 exclusive zombie MMO, IIRC there isn't a title to it yet but I'm guessing that's what you're thinking of. I'm surprised you just discovered this was coming to the PS3 since there was a recent thread where several people told you it was :P

I just want a really good, high production value zombie game that has a lot of effort put into it. I don't feel like this is that game. Left 4 Dead was good for the MP itch, but I want one for the SP itch. It can have MP too though, that's why I was interested in this initially.

The video review felt very rushed. Didn't feel like he went into much detail and just kept talking about how much fun he is having with the game.

Seems like nobody even knew the game was coming out on ps3, so it sounds like a win. It's also nice that you get the whole game, and don't have to pay extra for co-op.

People should actually read reviews instead of looking at the score. That review from IGN is one of the most uninformative reviews I've ever read. Try a review from GameInformer or TeamXbox, which are much more informative and detailed.

Not but, but the Xbox 360 version is better according to the review.... Another bad port :( Lucky I have both systems.
