Even though it says so on the box, Dead Island isn't a local network co op game. They are trying to fix it but until then you can only play it online with other people.

A: LAN does work. Me and friend of mine played with it for 2 hours and finally figured it out or to an extent.
I have a lvl 33 char, he has a lvl 2. Apparently it would say on mine 1 player found but no name, on his it was saying "no players found."
Something so simple could have been figured out in less than 2 hours. Start a game with fresh characters. It'll pop up "<Name> is nearby" asking you to hit left on the D-Pad to join. Well, after we found out that worked. We wanted to test something else as in if you had to be near one another on the game with diff level characters.
Didn't work, so basically my solution for anyone with problems is to start anew.
Hope that helps.
(Edit: My game is unpatched)
