Dead Island is a first person shooter where you can roam the world freely. You wanna collect all the money you can because its useful for buying stuff for weapons or health. There is also a experience bar as well as a skill tree. They made the game harder by putting a stamina bar on each character which will make you play the game more tactical. Stamina goes down after each attack,running or jumping. When its empty you must wait for it to recharge to fight again. There is more then 13 hours of gameplay plus the side quest. It has been confirmed that there are "special class" zombies which are more powerful than normal zombies. Players will have to use thier flashlights in the dark adding suspence. There is 60 or more different zombie looks can you find them all? Also theres lots of weapons in the game so you'll be ready for anything. The weapons have upgrades, repairing, so if theres a weapon you love all you have to do is repair.

There are four main charaters in the game:

Xian Mei
Sam B
Logan
Purna

Each character has different skills and powers which you will see in the game if you have bought it. Dead Island was originally stated to be released in 2008 but it was delayed. Which is out now. The game cost $59.99 and is rated mature not for kids from what I have heard. I give this game a rating of 9/10 for the great graphics. That is all.
