    This game just blew my mind. It's like, if Steven Seagal made a motorcycle movie, only 10 times dumber. Does it fall in the "so bad it's good" category? In my opinion it does, and the main reason is that the controls, if you are using a pad, are "mostly" functional and it's not that painful to play, mechanically.

Does it fall in the "so bad it's good" category? In my opinion it does, and the main reason is that the controls, if you are using a pad, are "mostly" functional and it's not that painful to play, mechanically. In order to enjoy it though, you need to be prepared for the fact that 99% of the gameplay is completely pointless. The game is basically a series of cutscenes with some padding along the way. Those cutscenes however will make you laugh, guarranteed. Pretty much every time you do a quest for any female, you will see an abrupt cut into a dryhumping scene, with zero explanation or reason for it. You collect shags like Mario collects coins, and they come so suddenly and look sooooo dumb that they made me spill my coffee all over my keyboard. Most of the voiceacting and pretty much all the animations are also hilariously bad. The intro that abruptly cuts into a pointless turret section and then into a QTE fist fight was also very hilarious, it was like a complete and comprehensive video of what NOT to do in videogames. In short, if you find this game on a sale for 1$ or something, it's worth picking up. It will offer many laughs for a low price. At full price of course, don't even think about it.… Expand

    This game is a pathetic time waster that made me buy a second console version, just so I could microwave it and leave it to die on my driveway. This was a game that no one expected to be good and completely meets those ass level standards. First of all I think that we should talk about the gameplay, which must take some award for having some of the worst combat that I've seen in a game.This game is a pathetic time waster that made me buy a second console version, just so I could microwave it and leave it to die on my driveway. This was a game that no one expected to be good and completely meets those ass level standards. First of all I think that we should talk about the gameplay, which must take some award for having some of the worst combat that I've seen in a game.

    Step 1: Shoot the gun wielding enemies with guns from behind cover. This will be incredibly easy considering that this whole "cover" thing is something that only works for people with a camera following them.

    Step 2: Get some easy headshots on melee focused enemies who run towards you in single file, like you're an ice cream man with bullet flavored frozen treats for them all.

    Step 3. Walk through an empty room littered with instant kill melee areas that you realize were for you. Then think "oh was I supposed to be fighting them in here?

    The next thing I need to touch on are the horrible motorcycle sections that just shows how lazy the programmers were. How lazy you ask? Well lazy enough for you to continuously go forward and give you the inability to back up, and if you hit an obstacle you get spat back out onto an earlier area of road. If that wasn't bad enough then there are the things that are intended to be sex scenes, but that word doesn't cut it. How can a sex scene not be a sex scene? Well first of all, you need to take off your clothes, but RTH: Retribution feels like it should be innovative and play penetration noises and make Jack still thrust while fully clothed. I mean really! If you don't want your audience to see Jack's big bare ass then put them under the blankets or do what Mass Effect did and make the screen fade to black!

    At the end of the day RTH: Retribution is my favorite kind of bad that makes me laugh for days in ways I should tell my psychologist about. It's none of that some things are good some are bad type of game, it's just all bad, all the time and I think you should buy it to just see how the game is and laugh afterwards.    … Expand

    This is serously one of the 10 worst games ever. The graphics are absolutely awful as the animations. There are so much not needed stuff here.

Poor sound design is there as well poor combat, really small ''open world'' and suprisingly this game was very hyped about everything. But no, it didnt live up to expectations and it is a piece of garbage and had only about 4-5 intence moments that were cool in my 11 hours playtime. I absolutely regret buying this and will go back in time if it wasnt the kinda good athmosphere that saved this game. It is a below average game and should have been priced 5 dollars at best!!
    OVERALL- Ultimately awkward design, graphics and animations. Bad combat and a bit below average story. Sound design is awful and offers so little. However a good athmosphere is there to make this game almost acceptable. Other than that it is a piece of garbage    … Expand

    Saben cuando vi los tráiler de este juego, motocicletas, rock n roll, me emocione muchísimo esperando un juego brutal y especial y termine jugando un videojuego especial en el sentido de retardado, tosco, mal hecho y para resumirlo una mierda infumable.

    It's cheap, the art is 6 years dated, the game play might have been passable 10 years ago, it plays like a BAD console port and the the cuts from scene to scene or between scenes and cinematics are horribly disjointed and it's helpful tips on how to play tend to be anything but, and often flat out wrong advice, like when it tells you to hit Shift to accelerate when it's actually currently done with your space bar.

    This thing plays like a bunch of free to play mini-games tied together and shoved into the laziest plotline I think I've ever been exposed to. It is not fun, not inspired, not aesthetically pleasing and if you are not a chauvinistic pig, it may be downright offensive.

    Do not buy this game, for any price.. You will never be able to get back the time you waste trying to play it.    … Expand

    Ride to Hell: Retribution is... its awful. The graphics are decent but the sound effects are horrible. The storyline is weak and the characters arent well written. The gameplay is not good at all. But there exists some customisation and as I mentioned before, the graphics are decent.

    Sometimes games like this have to exist. They are a great reminded of how bad a game can get. The game is extremely buggy, you will be falling through the map, watching npc fly away into the sky, which makes the game unplayable. Then you have the terrible dialogue, so bad that's its laughable. I suggest no one to ever play this game, but if you do best of luck to you.

    Ride to Hell Retribution is an epic fail in gaming history. Ugly graphics, terrible voice acting, terrible quick time events, bad physics, bad story, bugs, stupid AI and much many.

    This is one of the worst games i have ever played, thankfully i did not buy it i played it at a friends house who only put it on to show me how terrible it was. The controls are bad, the voice acting cheesy, the graphics look like ps2 at best and it just constant cut scenes with very little playing of the game anyway. That is really all i can say about it, just terrible.

    This game is offensive. The gameplay styles are ripped from other games and done worse. The characters and story fell like what an angsty 13 year old thinks is deep and compelling storytelling. And women are used as objects and rewards. Buy it only to laugh at it, because you will a lot

    You can try out Ride to Hell for some masochistic fun. Low-budget games are built by throwing some concepts together without much thought - Ride to Hell is exactly that, but much more expensive. Interesting story, cool characters, freedom, original missions, great fighting system, exciting chases and heavy guitar riffs - none of that is here. Ride to Hell: Retribution is damaged in such a way, that you start thinking: what were the developers drinking/smoking?
