So I played “Dead Island”. I spent a few hours on it to see if it’s any good.
I was expecting something like Left 4 Dead maybe but I played zombie games well before L4D thus I wasn’t going to label it as something else just yet. The graphics aren’t that complicated but I like it. I picked my character and played. Right from the start I was trapped in a room because I didn’t knew how to open a door. I grabbed it but there was a strange bar that appeared. I had to google it to find out that I have to move my mouse up and down so I can break the door, a new action for me never before seen in any other game. It would’ve been nice if the game would’ve given me a clue about this.
After that, everything got easy. Like in any other game, there is a story. Unfortunately it isn’t a very good or scary story because it’s not really a horror game or a scary game is just a bloody zombie game. So I did some missions, walk around a lot and threw sticks and bats in the face of all zombies – a thing which I found it to be a lot of fun. But everything got weird. I was on a mission but then I had a new one, but I didn’t know what happened to the last one!
The problem with this game is that you can choose several missions from several people which I think ruins your last mission, I don’t know. Usually, when in a mission you shouldn’t be able to talk to anybody else about other missions, this game doesn’t to that. Plus, you risk walking around a lot and loosing yourself on the map, like I did. There is no in-game help to remind you what you should be doing or how to get back to a specific place. So it gets very very boring.
You can also drive a car, kinda like you can drive a car in Half Life 2. I wish more games would use the driving method of other games like GTA or even NFS. But that's a bit insane for some games so...I won't complain to bad about it. But I would like to control the car with the cursor keys and brake it with the space bar and what not... I liked how the zombies busts your windshield and you have to brake it so that you can see the road. A nice touch I could say.
The game has some potential but it is boring and it reminds me of Postal: something bloody and fun but simple in substance. It would’ve been nice if we could've found some variety, if we could've destroyed more objects in more ways and if we could've had a lot more weapons and access to those weapons. The Xbox-type unlocks are a bit dull for this game.
Anyway, it’s a fun game for a few hours and you actually laugh a lot in some cases but I don’t really recommend it for the long run.

Nu mi-a placut jocul asta :) am incercat sa-l joc, dar prea multa vorbaraie, questuri peste questuri...poate mi sa acrit si de questuri fiindca am jucat wow 6 ani. Te-ai apucat de el?
Doar l-am testat. Mai urmeaza si altele: Mass Effect, Mafia 2, Stalker...
Mafia 2 l-am terminat cu cel mai mare drag, si jocul si toate adonurile, am rupt in decembrie jocul, merita! Spor. Iti recomand Dead Space 1 si 2 sunt geniale!
Scary game and kinda strange to play it on a beach.
