    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

    Pathetic attempt at a game, uninteresting, bad game-play and overall rubbish, I definitely would not recommend this game and it was a complete waste of money.

    This is a really bad console port. Controls are aggravating and difficult, not customizable (choice of 3 sets of controls are given). Video controls are very minimal: brightness, full screen etc.
    Don't waste your money on this.

    hilarious, i dont understand how anyone can rate this negatively. all you have to do is stop looking at is as a game and instead as a piece of art, hilariously broken games like this only come along every so often and we should embrace that

    Worse than anyone can imagine should be avoided by everyone on earth.

    Zero gameplay, disgusting controls, production values from the toilet.

    Expect returned copies to be sitting alongside ET very soon.

    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.

    Well, Ride to Hell: Retribution does what it says, it's your retribution for riding to hell, a true ride to hell.

    Oh, and to reach the 150 min I can add that citizenkaneofvi rated all three PC, PS3 and X360 versions 10, since I love justice I'm gonna bulldoze it's 10s on all the platforms.

    What a missed chance of an interesting idea.

    Shame on the publisher. The game is not worth a cent. Quality of the game is disgusting. This studio has become bankrupt in the near future. Shame on the publisher.

    Ride to Hell title just made history.
    Here is my theory:
    This is a project made by a high school game design class as a class assignment and the teacher though why not take the game and make some money out of it and donate it to charity, I hope all the money went to helping staving children in Africa
    In conclusion, I threw up so many times I lost 100 pounds, thank you.

It should be a crime to sell this game anywhere in the world. This is probably the worst video game of this generation, and one of the worst games of all time.

    No. Don't even try it, don't even buy it. Even if you bought it by accident, don't even pop the disc in. The problem isn't bugs or anything, just horrible gameplay.

    Beemo is OBVIOUSLY a developer, and I despise developers coming on here to rate their own game while so dumbly acting as a player. I haven't even played the game but it's quite clearly when it gets 252 negatives to...23 positives, so I'll add one more negative to balance out the crap from the developers.

    This game is a joke. Sounds, VA, graphics, gameplay, a lot of QTE. Just no comment. Dont play this game even if they will want to pay you for that. Even shooting scenes suck, since your enemies sometimes dont want to react. Bodyshots dont work. Its just sad.

    Perhaps a better title for this game would be 'Slide to Hell' since that is essentially all that you are capable of performing in this game.

After seeing the litany of negative reviews this game received, I have spent quite some time trying to look for anything good or meaningful to say about this game. Unfortunately, there is literally nothing good or redeemable to this steaming pile of manure that we were forced to play.

    The most disappointing thing about this game is that the basic, bare-bones plotline had so much potential. An open world biker rpg set in a post-Vietnam era America as the protagonist lives with his PTSD from extensive combat? What really makes me mad about this game was the potential it had and failed to deliver.

    Instead, we were handed a game that came at a deceptive sale price with a significant amount of hype built up around it before its release, only to disappoint us in every way possible. The plotline is dry and poorly executed, the sex scenes are so blatantly juvenile and lacking, and the gameplay is so horrible that I actually considered thrashing my pc just to get some small measure of petty vengeance.

    I would say that this game would make a great party prank, but I would rather not become charged with 'cruel and unusual punishment' for doing so. If there was a way for me to give this an even lower rating, I would.    … Expand

    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?
