![]() ![]() Years later, the rider needs to return after being banned from the GP League and take revenge on Krex. In the interactive tutorial the devious Krex gets the player's character caught in an illegal race. At the start of the game the player chooses a male (Impact) or female (Poison) rider. The Renegade part of the title hints at the introduction of a story to the career mode. The game modes are a single-player career mode, a challenge mode to get the best times on leaderboards, quick races, a synchronous online multiplayer mode for up to eight players, and a local split-screen mode for two to four players. It is the sequel to Riptide GP 2 and the third game in the Riptide racing series as the spiritual successor to the Hydro Thunder titles. But it needs to do away with the generic tracks and leveling issues if it is going to become one of the greats.Not an American user? Description Riptide GP: Renegade is a hydrojet racing game. Of course, it deserves a wide applause for its innovation and stunning visuals. Riptide is an ad maiora natus in the racing genre, but it stops at being destined for greatness, as it falls short on certain aspects where other games could offer better. And Riptide could have done a much better job on that front. Background music adds an element of excitement to the game (at least for me). Unfortunately, Riptide settled for some lame, forgettable tracks. It would have been better if the rock music background complimented the slick graphics and high-octane sound effects. Even getting to third becomes a Herculean task. But as your level increases, the skills of your opponents also increase, and they seem so much better equipped that you abandon all hope of getting first place. Getting first place will make you pass through a needle hole, but it’s feasible. I felt highly capable of meeting the challenges of my new level. From the first to the middle part of the game, all seems fair. it is the seemingly increasing difficulty I encounter as I progress. If there’s any bone I have to pick with this game. If you wish to upgrade your skills, it is ideal to try some bosses first to see if you could match their mettle. The bosses are either default or unlockable characters. Every boss is an expert at a particular field in racing and battle. You’ll find yourself facing bizarre antagonists like trash-talking robots. You earn stars for doing this successfully, which are your ticket to unlocking more of the game.Īnd last but not least, the boss battles to be the real deal. A slalom mode is another special feature in the game where you negotiate your way through buoys as fast as you can and avoid hitting them. Like most traditional racing games, Riptide offers elimination and timed trials. Gaming controls are smooth throughout play. Throw in your unscrupulous rivals, and you get a water race that crosses with unsolicited combat. The only consolation to it is that it takes advantage of water as a prime obstacle, so you would often find yourself negotiating crashing waves even on the more vanilla tracks. Of course, the layout is not too perfect, as you might find some of the tracks are too simple and generic. ![]() The tracks are well cut out and offer plenty of courses to challenge you. But on some occasions, the design of the areas where you can perform daredevil feats suggests what type of trick is appropriate, so it’s up to you to take the dare. If you do not wish to fall from your ride, you may opt for those simple watercraft tricks. The more intricate the trick you perform (like mid-air somersaults), the higher your boost gains. There are areas along the water course where you can perform tricks. The reward system in this game operates in the typical investment rule that the higher the risk, the higher the reward and vice versa. This provides variety in the gaming experience, since alternative routes are offered to avoid making the game monotonous. You work your way through different modes while you follow a map that offers shortcuts and jumps. Gameplay kicks off after reading a handful of text bubbles (which you will probably ignore), and then you are on your own. And technically, the only rule is to win at whatever cost. Think of it as a mash-up of Motocross, Fast and the Furious, and Death Race taking place on water - you get the drift. And you're evading cops at the same time. Riptide takes racing along the waters, where you compete with armored riders and slug it out as you race along steep waterfalls while dishing out some daredevil tricks with your ride. ![]()
