Plenty of game play to keep you occupied.

Good game, if you like the first one you will like this!

Dead Island: Riptide reminds me of Dead Island 1, hardly any changes have been made. If you liked Dead Island 1 you'll like dead island 2, it just feels likes Dead Island 1.1. It doesn't feel like a game, it feels like a update. The game play is good, the story line is the same. The best bit is the beginning when you're on the ship but it was all downhill from there.

If you liked the original Dead Island, I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy this "more of the same" -kind of game. Dead Island: Riptide more or less has the same flaws and things that made it fun to play. Sure, there's a new character to play with, some new skills and stuff, but the basics remain the same. Overall it greatly depends on how you liked Dead Island in the first place, and even if you're looking to try out the Dead Island -games, I'd still start with the original one for story continuation (you rarely want to start 2/3 through the story) and cheaper price. So a good buy if you liked Dead Island, but if you didn't, there's nothing here to draw you in anymore than the original did.

Dead Island: Riptide (Pre-order DLC: The Survivor Pack) is a top game. I'm still playing it.

Dead Island: Riptide (Pre-order DLC: The Survivor Pack) is an excellent game. The level-based development and large variety of upgradeable weapons are a big plus, successfully making the game seem unique like the first one. This, along with a few new, cool, internal additions like the downward kick and running attacks with Sam B give it just enough to be a slight step forward from the original. Without it being a full sequel, we couldn't expect too much as the first one was a classic. The slight lag in graphics and similarity in missions make it a little tedious at points, but the improved scenery, atmosphere and growing variety in enemies often make up for this, immersing you in the environment and mind setting. It's a definite must for any zombie lover!
