Rise: Race The Future Reviews

"Drift and slide like never before thanks to an exceptional fluid and precise physics-based SLIPPERY handling." Cars slide around like they're driving on ice whether its ground or water and the physics just feel very wrong because of it. Bumping into something, whether its a rock or an opponents car, could mean spinning out or coming to a complete stop. Meanwhile the opponents drive on rails but are lifeless. Sound design is mediocre at best with car engines that have no power behind them and music that sounds like it was taken from a $4.99 sound pack. The cars and tracks look good, and that's about the only positives this game has. Something more could have been done to it, like easing the player into the more slide heavy physics, better sound design, better goals to race towards, even car customization, but unfortunately all we get is a slippery mess with not even any achievements to show for it.
