Dead Island is not your typical zombie survival game. I mean, sure there are zombies everywhere, but what's interesting about Dead Island is the fact that it's an open world environment. Take a game like Fallout 3 and add zombies, and you've got Dead Island. What's interesting about this game is that you can create your own weapons by combining items you find along the way. For example, if you have a baseball bat, and some nails, combine the two, and you've got yourself a more powerful weapon than before.
But where the game really shines is multiplayer. You can play co-op missions with up to 3 of your friends online.
The visuals are pretty, though the character animation could use some work. Sometimes the character animation is so bad that you laugh about it. Sound effects in this game will keep you on edge. It's the kind of game that begs you to crank the volume up. Besides, it's better to hear everything around you, don't you think?
One thing that I'm disappointed with is the fact that you can't play multiplayer locally. You have to play it on the Playstation Network. It's not a big thing though.
For the fear factor, its pretty graphics and the overall atmosphere, I give Dead Island 7/10
