I have to admit, there seems to be a great variety of weapons that were not in the first game (my favorite is the staff that you wield like a bad-ass, zombie slaying Darth Maul). There have not been any graphical improvements to the game over the first one, all of the old characters remain as playable characters (with the exception of a new character with a ridiculously fun, but overpowered running kick move), and I have only run across one new type of zombie so far in a few hours of game play. When i say that Dead Island: Riptide has the exact same game play as the first Dead Island, i mean the EXACT same. However, if you hated the first dead island, stay well away from this title. If you loved the first dead island, this game will offer the same zombie slaying fun that the last game had.

If you loved the first dead island, this game will Dead Island: Riptide offers almost the exact same experience as the previous Dead Island. Dead Island: Riptide offers almost the exact same experience as the previous Dead Island.
