Escape Dead Island

I'm just disappointed

this game was OK to play alot of stealth kills, blood, and weapons. Don't sleep on this game.

On its own this was an interesting game, but it shouldn't have been called a dead island game. Yes there are zombies, but the mechanics are nothing like the first two. Yes its about the bonoi outbreak, but there is no weapon building no real strategy needed. This is not a sandbox world, however in its own way it is creative. If you want a different type of zombie game this one is a decent option. Just don't expect what you got in the past with the sister title of dead island

First the good: In the original Dead Island franchise, the game was 1st person. This installment is a a 3rd person title, which makes that the only GREAT thing about Escape Dead Island. The control lay out is pretty simple to use. When you sneak up behind Zombies, they ready themselves for a stealth kill. Making it the easiest way to kill. <br /> <br />The Bad: In the original Dead Island you had to find and build really cool weapons. Not in Escape Dead Island, there's no Weapons upgrade or character upgrades. It's just a straight up mouse chase all over the maze. Running is difficult because character runs out of energy so fast. There's no sense in killing Zombies, they drop no weapons or health. Shooting is simple but the aiming is horrible. <br /> <br />The Ugly: The graphics are not fitting for a mature game. And the story line is pretty much forgettable. <br /> <br />It's been about 9 hours of actual playing time and the story is pretty much creep and SLASH your way. I'm half way through the game. I'll probably finish it, nonetheless I don't see replay value. <br /> <br />Shame because if they simply added character upgrades and unique weapons early on in game would have made it interesting. <br />

Horrible gameplay, horrible voice acting, horrible execution overall. This game belongs in the trash.

Now it looks like a comic book graphics what happened to the graphics on dead island 1 and 2

That most people have been ragging on this game soo much in the blogs, the mags and just from the general gaming community.. this game is meant to be a SUPPLEMENT to the series of DEAD ISLAND.. In NO WAY, is this meant to be a stand alone adjunct to the two Dead Island games that are out there. (Dead ISLAND 2 is coming next year). With all that being said, I am actually enjoying the game. It offers minimum difficulty and can be finished within 5-7 hours. But individuals like myself, like to take their time with their experiences. So, myself, am going slow taking pictures, getting tapes, and files and post cards.. these all will flesh out the story line. Some of the zombies will kill you within one or two slashes and that gets frustrating. But once you know their behaviors you can bypass the death scenes rather quick.. The thing that I like about this game is the cel shaded appearance, and also trophies pop on this just about every 15-30 minutes. So you feel like you are getting rewarded for just playing the game.. They are like "no brainer "achievements. I do think the water graphics are kinda nice, and some of the island views at the top of the Geopharm area are kinda nice to look at for a cel shaded game.. I am so glad that I didnt just bypass this game because of what I heard, because you would have thought that this was the worst game of 2014, and it is by far from that.. I'm glad that I get a chance to rent it, and have the option to drop it and leave it or encompass it into another one of my gaming experiences... I will do the latter, because it is not that bad of a game.. it will grow on you, trust me, if you are brave enough to let it do so..

One play through is enough. It keeps you entertained even with the repetitiveness of it. The story is a bit out there and so I enjoyed the trip.
