Dead Island: Riptide review. Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of Dead Island: Riptide for the PlayStation 3 developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver. Dead Island: Riptide is a first-person game of survival, zombie killing and beach combing. Well, sort of. A sequel to the 2011 original, Dead Island: Riptide contrasts horrific blood-thirsty zombies against a beautiful island setting. You're one of the few people on the planet who are immune to the zombie apocalypse, but that doesn't mean they can't eat you. That means you're still in danger—even in paradise. Dead Island: Riptide is a mixture of first-person shooter, survival horror and action RPG. Earn experience points by bashing in zombie brains, and use them to upgrade your weapons and your abilities. Never has a beach vacation been such a nightmare. This video review features video gameplay footage of Dead Island: Riptide for the PlayStation 3 and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.
