Ride to Hell: Retribution Review | CheatCC

CCC says: "Ride to Hell: Retribution…uuuugh. Even the name sounds like some sort of generic biker schlock that would be better marketed as a Nicolas Cage movie. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against biker culture. In fact, a game that accurately recreates the feeling of being a badass road warrior would be awesome. But nothing about Ride to Hell: Retribution feels badass. Instead, it feels sloppy, as if a generic action game was thrown in a blender with a Harley Davidson in the hopes that whatever slop came out would somehow be playable. Originally pegged for release in 2009, the Ride to Hell series has been delayed and canceled numerous times, and it should have stayed that way."

Damn. I was kinda hoping this would be a decent game. I loved the trailers.

Rob Hornecker3955d ago

Me too! But it is the end of the line for xbox 360 games and as with past systems end of life the games start to suck!

Ron663955d ago

I knew this game would suck, we are better off playing lost and the damned till another great biker game comes along.

E.T. for the Atari 2600. I'm never going to forget falling into those pits over and over and over and over again. So annoying

Neonridr1861d ago

I mean given the technical limitations of the 2600, ET isn't a terrible game per-se. But it does a horrible job of explaining just what the hell you are supposed to do.

Superman 64 on the other hand has zero excuses.. it's just a flat out terribly made game.

This crackdown 3 should be in that list for taking seemingly forever only for the finished product to look like a 360 game with hdr. crackdown 3 by far is the worst AAA game this gen. How did Microsoft botch a chance to show off the power of the X with this garbage?

SuperSonic911860d ago

Link: The Faces of Eviland Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon should be there too.

We already have plenty of games that prominently feature bikers

- Full Throttle
- Brutal Legend
- Devil May Cry series
- Left 4 Dead
- Shadow the Hedgehog
- Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned
- Freedom Planet series
- Bayonetta series
- Jak & Daxter series

If a developer can make a game that features bikes or bikers then cool, but it shouldn’t be a new trend just because one upcoming game is focusing on it.

I think you're confused about what "bikers" are mate.

A few of those titles in your list are questionable. I laughed at a few of them.
Just one for example: Brutal Legend wasn't about a biker, it was about a roadie and metal music.
Devil May Cry... I think I saw a bike once? I don't remember I played it when it came out back in 2001.

Plus there's a difference between "bikers" and gang members.

The ideology or characteristics of a 1%er has no value in the post apocalypse. Oh so you live by your own laws, you are outlaws. That’s nice but what good is that in a lawless world? Other than not being directly effected by the collapse of society and the economy. That’s what makes the biker a good dynamic in days gone. It’s not some ode to bikers or a representation checklist, it’s just preparation from a past life and it makes sense.

If you mean bikers as some old Tim Allen stereotype in assless chaps then no thanks.
