The one thing I really like about Dead Island is that it really takes into account the mood and feel in the game. You can just take one look at any of the NPCs and know that person has been through hell. The 4 Player Co-Op offers something uniquely different from Left 4 Dead.Left 4 Dead was more about just mowing down zombies, while Dead Island focuses on the interaction between characters in a massive setting. It's almost as if the Fallout 3 developers were huge fans of The Walking Dead and decided to make a zombie video game. This is definitely one game to look foreword too.

Howard doesn't know whether he is immune to becoming a zombie like we are, and he'll be damned if he's going to risk infection finding out. Therein lies his problem — Howard has been separated from his wife and kid. They're out there somewhere and they're alive, he can feel it. That's why he looks to us.

2011: Impressions of Dead Island (Xbox 360)

Aside from the tropical setting, Dead Island sounds like it might not be all that different than any other zombie game, right? That's when things got odd. You see, Dead Island is a horror game, but it is also an Action RPG. The first thing you do is pick up a weapon, which shows the weapons stats and what level you can use it.You go outside and the zombies have little lifebars above their heads along with what level they are. When you attack them, numbers show on the screen how many hit points of damage you've dealt. After defeating the initial zombies you are then given a quest which you can choose to accept. From that point on you move along the beach as though it were almost a dungeon crawler. You get weapons which degrade over time and then break. Some are level specific, and when you defeat zombies you gain experience. When you gain experience, you can choose to level up and unlock different branches of three different skill trees.
