Dead Island sur Xbox 360 est un jeu d'action à la première personne qui entraîne les joueurs sur une île paradisiaque transformée en antichambre de l'enfer suite à l'invasion de hordes de zombies. En choisissant votre héros parmi 4 possibilités, vous devez tenter de survivre dans des environnements ouverts en aidant d'autres survivants, en améliorant les capacités de votre personnage et en dénichant des armes de fortune un petit peu partout. Dead Island est en outre jouable à 4 en coopération.
