I was waiting for it too but reviews are REALLY bad. And the flaws they describe are valid.

So yeah, I'll get it - but not for the full price. Not worth it imho.

It looks like a Left for dead rip-off set on the far cry island......

For example: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-04-dead-island-review

I'm sure some will like, even love the game. But zombies are just extremely boring to me after we've had the zombie mania for the last 3 years with SO many zombie games out there. The many flaws added the game really doesn't make me want to play it right away.
Maybe later, in co-op, when some stuff is eventually fixed.

Reading that review has given me pause for thought. I've been waiting for this game for several months now, but it seems a bit too flawed, compared to Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising.
It's something that I'd like to like...maybe one to look for at a discounted price.

I'd say those reviews aren't that great at all. Especially the first one gives the game a high score but I can't see that justified in the review itself. Maybe just a case of overscoring?

I guess the game is ok if you can live with the flaws. Personally I'll just wait and get it at a discount. I expected a lot more from this title to be honest.
