Ken McKown writes: I love a good arcade racing game. Stuff like Cruisn’ USA, Arctic Thunder and of course Hydro Thunder are some of my favorite memories from my young gaming career. There really hasn’t been a plethora of these types of experiences lately. With so many titles being tossed around these days it seems like there is something for everyone, and now I finally have something to fulfill my alternative racing needs. Riptide GP2 has come to Xbox One, and it harkens back to a simple philosophy: jetski racing is still a blast.
GamingLives takes a look at Vector Unit's water-based racing game.
"What Riptide GP2 lacks is both the production values and sheer excitement of Hydro Thunder. This is more a game of skill and judgement rather than a balls-out racer, and with no shortcuts to make the tracks interesting, everything soon gets pretty samey out there on the water."
