In this edition fully loaded with new content, you also receive blueprints to the highly coveted Ripper weapon mod. Are you ready for the madness, carnage and chaos of this Dead Island?
Awesome game. It has allot of bashing, slashing, and zombie killing. I really like that you can modify your weapons. Electric sword, fire baseball bat, poisonous blade and plenty more. The weapons provide many different ways to bring down zombies. The online play is great too. You can join others in an arena where wave after wave of zombies will come at you. Or you can join another persons game and help them or have them help you in the storyline. Another great feature is the characters level up and you have different skills to get for each.
What's great about it: Modify your weapons to your liking.
What's not so great: Not much of a variety in mobs.
