Well i haven't completed the game yet but i'm far enough through to write a fair review on Dead island.
To describe this game in one word i would use amazing. This game has offered me hours upon hours of fun and to be honest is a really good stress reliever  Had a bad day at work and want to punch someone in the face? Well now you can... Just hop on this game and punch a zombie 
On terms of gameplay, Graphics, Lifespan and enjoy-ability this game has it all!
The game-play to me reminds me of a few games all rolled into one actually such as Borderlands, Fallout, Dead rising and Left for Dead but not going over the top to were it feels more like one or the other. Don't get me wrong this is an original game in its own... If you didn't like any of the games mentioned above don't feel afraid to get this game its a whole new experience with some nice reminders of other games. The controls to this game are very very easy to adapt to. After about 15mins of playing i had got the hang of it and was set. They also added a very nice feature to the combat system that allows the gamer to hit the zombies using their analogue stick which can be very enjoyable at times but also very frustrating,
The graphic of Dead Island are gorgeous. From the stunning landscapes to the amazing visual effects of the zombies and the lovely weather. One minute you can find yourself in a tropical heatwave then 10 mins later in a tropical thunderstorm which also adds to the fantastic game-play. Makes it feel that little more realistic.
As far as lifespan goes in this game (like i said previously) i haven't finished this game as of yet so i'm not 100% sure if there is free roam at the end of the game, Maybe someone can comment and let me know . What i can tell you is that during the game its fully free roam you don't have to do quests if you don't want to which is really good as continually doing missions can be very boring. I have roughly spent about 10 hours playing this game already and i don't think im even close to finishing it which has made me very happy as i am enjoying it. If there is free roam at the end of the game then this game will be loads of fun once you have leveled up and got the best weapons.
On terms of how enjoyable this game is, out of 10 for this i would say 8 (so far) there never seems to be nothing to do. From the littlest quests to main ones none of them get boring or repetitive in my honest opinion. Creating weapons and finding new one to dismember those rotten flesh eaters is also very very fun especially when playing with friends which brings me onto my next subject,
On the first day of release this game had patches for online which was worrying but was also very good as it got rid of all the nasty bugs and modders. It can be frustrating if you don't turn off the feature of allowing people to join your game mid way through a quest, this can easily be turned off from the main menu 
All in all this (so far) is one of if not my Favorite free-roaming zombie slashing game.
Sorry if this is bad guys... I have 0 experiences writing reviews
