Vector Unit has made me forget Hydro Thunder Hurricane and that alone was an extraordinary task.Reviewed by A.J. Gameplay and fun is the main reason why the game has such a high rating, the visual richness, high customization options and many multiplayer options are others reasons why Renegade is insanely good. Score 90% | Is Riptide GP: Renegade perfect? Hell no, but it has been a long time since I had so much fun with an arcade racing game. My advice for Vector Unit would be to invest a little more in the sound department, because that’s the only thing that isn’t great about Renegade. You have a few stand out moments, like the cave head laughter but that’s about it. Music is very generic and because extremely tiresome very fast and the futuristic jet ski’s miss some punch in the sound effects. Riptide GP: Renegade excels in everything but the music and sound seemingly missed the quality label.More tracks would have been welcome, the available tracks provide enough variation but I’m sure some players will get a repetitive feeling playing the same track over and over again in the Career Mode.Īll tracks have impressive visual set pieces.
Things become a little less predictable too and you need your full attention dodging blue lights.Ī girl in bikini always works, especially dancing girls. naughty, naughty! Sure it might be a little frustrating to lose a race because the police is ruining your perfect racing line but I loved the extra difficulty. Sometimes they will hunt you down, you are doing some illegal racing.
For only €10 you get the Xbox One and Windows 10 version, Renegade is an Xbox Play Anywhere title.Gaining air by ramps or large waves remains fun and impressive and never become frustrating. This is an arcade game after all so it was important that the controls didn’t become too difficult. Controls are spot on and doing cool looking tricks can be done by everyone.Sure this isn’t the Forza Horizon 3 with water, this is a budget game after all, textures can be a little blurry but I was highly impressed by the realistic water effect and art-design. Visual quality is pretty high and the performance remains top-notch, even in split screen.All the tracks are a real blast to play and raise Riptide GP: Renegade’s fun level through the roof. Not to mention the insane jumps and fantastic art-design and sound effects. Each level has something special like fire effects, flying cars or underwater life and objects. You don’t have a lot of choice but all the tracks show that the developer spend a lot of time making them stand out. What’s the most important thing for a racing game? Some might say controls but for me the tracks are the reason for loving a racing game or not.Earning and improving your jet ski’s is an important task in Riptide and helps keeping things interested. They could have just made you go through all the races without a real goal, now you have reason and are rewarded with some enjoyable dialogue. Alright, alright, I know it’s not the most original story but I appreciate the effort that Vector did creating interesting characters.
That guy made some things difficult in your life, so you are out for revenge. Building a crew together to face the bad guy in the story, Krex. Vector Unit hasn’t been lazy and tied it together with a simple but effective story.
