The game takes place on the fictional island of Bonai.A lot of the scenery in Dead Island is quite beautiful and looks like it would be a nice place to visit, if it weren't for the flesh eating zombies. The controls for Dead Island are your standard FPS layout. Left trigger to aim and right trigger to shoot or throw. Since there're not many guns on the island, you will be throwing more than shooting. Taking a cue from Dead Rising, you can construct various melee weapons using different parts. While there isn't much friendly-fire, you can damage your friends if they get too close to a grenade or a sticky bomb that you've thrown.
