YouвЂ™ll also earn xp as you go through races that results in Skill Points you can spend on further stunts that are increasingly complex. Of course, you have to ensure you have the time to complete them or end up getting flung from your ride with all the force of Brock Lesnar if heвЂ™d just discovered you sat in his hot tub, eating his dinner.

These are all done exclusively with combination flicks of the analogue sticks. When your rider gets enough air of a ramp or wave, they can perform stylish stunts on their vehicle to earn boost meter units. The most intriguing aspect is learning about the tricks. ItвЂ™s standard stuff: R2 accelerates, X boosts, yadda yadda yadda. You pick one of two racers to start your new life of competing on the choppy waters of illegal hydro races.

The centrepiece of Riptide GPR is the career/story mode. To be fair, IвЂ™d rather they focused on making the actual racing fun to play and watch, and clearly that is where the focus has gone. Instead, theyвЂ™re just rather functional in a slightly crude manner.

The vibrancy of the races, even in the gloomier, more desolate tracks (coupled with the immediacy of the gameplay), is impressive, giving you a good sense of speed and competition without bogging you down in the minutiae of precision racing, so you get to fully enjoy the impact of the wildly colorful tracks.Дeveloper Vector Unit has definitely made the most of a relatively low budget here, with the only noticeable concessions being the odd stilted bit of animation and menus that arenвЂ™t especially enthralling. Renegade does this without sinking too far down the nostalgia bait hole thankfully, so itвЂ™s a pleasant feeling that isnвЂ™t tinged with the usual memory lane misery. Everything is brightly-colored and set to a throbbing dance soundtrack like the arcade racers of the late 90вЂ™s and early 00вЂ™s. The obvious comparisons are to fondly-remembered arcade water racers such as Wave Race and Hydro Thunder, and in visual presentation terms thatвЂ™s a compliment.
