Riptide Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames))
Dead iSland Dead Island: Riptide Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames)) Paperback – April 23, 2013
for anyone else out there who had the game guide
to the first game, we know it was good, but not fantastic. that being
said, this guide seems a little better than the first, but still with a
few weird issues.
the chapters are as follows:
game basics
palanai guide to zombie watching
walkthrough (198 pages of the guide is dedicated solely to this)
team quests
weapon crafting
collectibles
points of interest
co-op play
achievements and trophies
the game basics are helpful, both to newcomers, and as a refresher to anyone who has played the first game. the character outlines are great, especially for the new character. if you played the first, you can import your original character to the new game at the level you were at, with all the skills you had invested in. if you choose not to do this and start fresh with the new character (who looks pretty great), you apparently get 15 points to spend right off the bat.
the enemy listing is fantastic. it's always nice to know their weaknesses.
the walkthrough is solid. it is filled with decent sized photos so you can see what the text is referencing. some guides print impossibly small photos along with the walkthrough, and i can safely say this guide does not suffer from that issue.
i really enjoyed the weapon crafting section. not only does it have a full list of blueprints, but also where or how you obtain them, as well as what is required to craft them. this will prove to invaluable along the way.
the collectibles section is fantastic. numbered items on the map show exactly where you will find them.
the points of interest section was a nifty addition.
