Riptide GP: Renegade Reviews

I like riding stuff

Easily accessible arcade racer but hard to master. The games last few GP's are quite challenging especially the last one which is overly hard as in none of the speed upgrades or bonus unlockable boats are fast enough to earn three stars in all events which is required to get to the final boss race, there is very little room for error and you can't restart any race so if you come 6th etc in one race your screwed. The music is really suiting and good, the graphics are not bad with some stand out moments and there are 8 tracks played out over lots of repeated events (the repeated events have different names, but it has different characters taunting you etc to create a story-like singleplayer, extra tracks would have been better) like race, elimination, slalom, scoring with tricks, because of this it really shows the how little race tracks there is in the game. It's not a perfect game but it's fun and with the lack of decent water racers on PC this is worth a place in your collection.

Super fun game, especially multiplayer. My remarks are pretty much what all the other people before me commented on. My biggest gripe about playing this game in single player is the difficulty. If you are playing on PC, once you get to the Firewater cop race, just give up. It's a really fun game up until that point. My friends and I have easily spent 10 hours on that one race and, even with the shortcuts and at the easiest setting, the best we've done is come in second (once). What is the point of having a difficulty selection?
