Is there a resort on riptide?
One of the reasons I enjoyed the first dead island so much was because I loved the resort setting. The atmosphere was great and playing with dolby headphones was really immersive. After I was done with the resort map and I went into the city and then the prison, I didnt like it that much. How are the maps in riptide? For what I have read and seen it seems it has more forest and city maps, but no resort of any kind.

Well this review was the final nail in the coffin that makes me to not buy it:

Excerpt from the review:
"There wasn't much of a storyline in Dead Island, but at least the setting was entertaining, taking a pampered tropical resort populated by spoiled rich kids and dropping the zombie end of the world right in the middle of it. There's nothing half as interesting in Riptide, as your same four survivors (joined by one new playable character) have managed to escape one island hellhole only to wash up on the shores of another one, the landscape of which looks conspicuously similar to the first one. Here you're running quests through a boring jungle, a shantytown, an old military base, and other zombie-game cliches that don't allow the freedom of movement or even compelling visual design of the resort in the first game. All of Riptide reminded me of Dead Island's weak third act, while none of it recalled that great first act, as if the designers themselves didn't realize what was actually great about their own game."

I loved the first act of the original dead island, so by reading this it makes riptide be a no-buy for me.
