Dead Island: Riptide is an action, survival, horror video game developed by Polish studio Techland and published Deep Silver, released in April 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game is a sequel to 2011's Dead Island.
As the four immune survivers from the first Dead Island game Sam, Logan, Xian Mai, and Purna thought they was finally brought to safty, but here it starts all over again when their ship gets infected by the zombie virus after a horrible storm. It is a continuation of the first game and instead of upgrading the story and grafics they just moved it to a different location. It does contains new characters, new missions, new menu display, new weapons, new cars and the fact that you can help build up the safe zones, fortify it which i find pretty cool and wish every zombie game had it.
It has co-op just like the first game and you can play the whole story mode with your friends, get help killing zombies, which makes the game a lot more fun. The game does have a few bugs, lags and difficulties with the single player as long with the co-op and even though this is a horror game it dosent come with any suprises nor is it very dark or scary, spend less money on making the hard cover for the game and focus more on the story. The developers should have learned their mistakes with the first game not shoved the shit under the rug and carried on by making this one.
But no, it is a good game and you will be entrtained for a few hours, it dosent really take much longer to complete it. Give it a try and see for your self.
