The characters are absolute stereotypes and the plot is born from such a stereotypical action movie that you'll swear Dolph Lundren and Wesley Snipes should be running around the island somewhere. You see, everything in Riptide is an absolute. "The characters are absolute stereotypes." Riptide sets itself up to be a B-movie adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously at all, but it soon becomes very evident that the game does in fact take itself way too serious and the result is a game that you're going to have a hard time investing in, let alone caring about. Of course, things go bad and before long you're back to taking out enemies with your homemade weapons…and searching bags for deodorant. The game picks up immediately after the ending of the first game, with the four remaining survivors on an aircraft carrier after escaping the island. If you liked the first game, you're sure to find something to love here - but everyone else is bound to be disappointed.Īs you may have expected, story is little more than an afterthought it Dead Island Riptide. Dead Island Riptide is more of the same, but sadly that also means it's more of the sub-par visuals, uninspiring gameplay and bugs that plagued the first game. It shambles along, attempting to reach its goal, but frequently stumbles over its own stupidity and lack of inspiration. The leveling system and the weapon creator is interesting enough to keep you playing for a bit, but you'll be wanting to leave this island long before the credits roll.ĭead Island Riptide could have easily been a downloadable chapter for the original game, and it may have been worth your money then - but as a near full priced retail release, it's not.ĭead Island Riptide, the pseudo sequel to Deep Silver's 2011 tropical zombie killing game is a lot like its source material. If you were a fan of the original Dead Island, you're bound to find something to love here in Riptide - it gives you more of the same gameplay while adding some new characters, locations and weapons. While the game handles pretty much on par with its 2011 predecessor, Dead Island Riptide features a lot of fuzzy textures, clumsy animations and more than its fair share of bugs.
