Dead Island Preview (Xbox360)

Speaking of explosives - the weapon customization feature seems to have to some potential to it. A basic loot system exists in the sense that you can find weapons, miscellaneous items as well as cash. Cash is used to barter with vendors, and to repair your weapons as they do suffer from wear and tear.Certain miscellaneous items though can be combined with others, and a weapon, to form an upgraded weapon, usually with a special ability. For example, you can stick a battery on a knife to form a shock stick that will paralyze enemies. Or you can make it into a sticky-bomb-knife-thing, with hilarious results. Our personal favorite was the baseball bat with a buzz saw blade stuck to it.
