Not the Dead Island I Loved
Dead Island Riptide was horrible compared to the original Dead Island. Despite the new weapons including nail guns, flare guns, and stun guns and the addition of a new character; John Morgan, Dead Island Riptide only felt like a carbon copy of the original game many people came to love. The gameplay was essentially the same in terms of the hacking and slashing zombies but with a lower frame rate and the story of the game honestly felt rushed to the point where you really couldn't do many if any side quests. After finishing the game in a matter of about 10 hours of gameplay, I have not touched it since. Considering all of the ups and downs of the game, I would give it at most a solid 7.

Story is good, gameplay is not
This was an anticipated game for me, considering I played the first one. This was my birthday present, got it preordered. Played it right when I got it...I could tell it wasn't the best game. The graphics, they are down right bad..the combat is glitchy and there are many bugs in the game like you can't even save at an area, and the checkpoints are separated far. I was exploring one time, went into a room and I jumped from chapter 2 to chapter 11 and had to fight off 20+ zombies for a completely different mission. The sounds can get repetitive but are pretty cool. Overall, not recommending the game and I am returning it.

Flawed but Fun Experience
Dead Island Riptide is a mixed bag. If you enjoyed the first Dead Island, like me, then you will love this game. A few improvements are that the weapons degrade much slower now and there are new environments. But that's just it, there are hardly any new improvements. The graphics on the console versions are crummy and the frame rate is atrocious at best. Techland seemed to ignore everybody's criticism and just copy and pasted the first DI into a new world. I still really like this game though. Something about it keeps me coming back!

Welcome Back To Zombie Killing
this game is good. I cant really complain about this game cause is pretty intense in different spots. it might take a little bit of time to get the hang of it but when you kill the first zombie you will want to keep playing.

Re-Spawn too quick
I bought the first Dead Island 'used' and it was awesome, then when I heard Riptide was coming out soon I couldn't wait 'til the release date. Now I wish they had play tested it more before releasing it. The zombies re-spawn much too quickly (2-5 min) so you're using up more weapons and ammo just trying to survive instead on concentrating on your quests. If the designers wanted to add something new, how about the ability to swim? With a game that has you navigating through waterways in a boat, I guess our heroes never learned how to swim. I expected the difficulty level to increase with a sequel, but this is over the top ridiculous. Its like choosing difficulty level 'INSANE' on any other games, and the movement is sluggish when moving forward or backwards. In my opinion this game needed much more work before its release date, they rushed it. Hopefully they will do a better job with Dead Island 3 - if there will be a part 3.
