E3 MVG 2011 Selection: Dead Island preview – hands-on with the co-op mode that could be better than Left 4 Dead

http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/dead-island/preview/e3-mvg-2011-selection-dead-island-preview-hands-on-with-the-co-op-mode-that-could-be-better-than-left-4-dead/a-2011061392610496024/g-20070808134934738055 Dead Island's co-op function supports up to four players, but they move through the same "career" mode as the single-player game. Like Borderlands, if players want to drop into other players' games, they can, but if one character is a higher level than the other it will be pretty hard to get going. On that note, Dead Island does feature some serious RPG elements such as loot and leveling. You can also gain new abilities according to which character you've chosen.
