E3 MVG 2011 Selection: Dead Island preview – hands-on with the co-op mode that could be better than Left 4 Dead

There are four playable characters, each with different abilities and strengths. I played as the female character, who is smaller and more adept with small weapons. I noticed almost immediately that walking felt slightly unnatural and found out this was due to the fact she is wearing high heels. This attention to detail drives home the inherent stress and desperation a real zombie game should incorporate.Even walking through water is maddeningly slow and frightening.
