    The simulation ambitions of the model offer a stimulating, demanding, satisfying driving experience, at times almost instructive, yet never frustrating and able to welcome even novices, thanks to the flexibility and effectiveness of the aids.

    RIDE 4 is the best entry in the series and fixes a lot of problems that past games had. Its diverse mix of event types in the career mode keeps it fresh even with a few tedious tests dragging things down. The on-track action shines at all times when you have rivals with you, and no matter what track you’re on or what time of day or conditions you’re racing in, you’re in for a fun time. It’s a challenging game, but in a good way as it encourages you to get better and offers a wide variety of difficulty options to help you along the way. Put simply, Ride 4 looks and sounds fantastic and controls like a dream.

    RIDE 4 retains all the positive aspects of the previous game (like the great riding model and the superb physics), but besides that there is nothing really new in this years edition.

    Ride 4 is more complete than its predecessor in terms of gameplay possibilities, that's a fact. It retains its qualities in the finesse of the grip, will delight fans of the first hour without totally putting off the neophytes, and adds several strings to its bow...On the other hand, Ride does not advance in its staging, tasteless on the track and in the off-circuit events, and even regresses in the career. The latter is running out of fuel in terms of originality, even showing itself to be frustrating in its construction.

    Overall, RIDE 4 was my first attempt at getting my toes wet for motorcycles both in general and racing wise. While excited going into this new world, I found myself uninterested and not entertained. Most racing games really bring me in and keep me there technically. As someone who works with their hands a lot and wants to know how things work/make them go faster, racing games really get me going. Herewith RIDE 4, I didn’t really fill that. It felt lackluster and just kind of plain.

    Ride 4 offers a tonne of content for those who itching for a deep dive into an expansive career mode. Race all across the world by winning licenses to open up access into better and more advanced events. Gain affinity with various bikes and manufacturers on the way to becoming the greatest rider. However, a weak online mode, a lack of other real features outside of the career mode and having a steep learning curve for beginners prevents Ride 4 from being the complete package. With plenty of bikes on offer, and upgrades on both the 'stock' and 'racing' side of things to allow for vast improvements over the troublesome AI, this is one of the better digital biking experiences out there.

    With challenging yet fun racing, a career mode filled with content and a ton of different motorcycles, Ride 4 offers us most things we want from a racing game. Unfortunately, much of the enjoyment is hampered due to an unbelievably uneven difficulty level. Simple races are interspersed with challenging competitions and purely diabolical challenges. Ride 4 is still the most complete motorcycle racing game and a big upgrade compared to its predecessor - but be prepared to have your patience tested.

    It's the perfect motor race game. The graphics are amazing, the phisics are real, and so many content. I love it.

Overall difficult to master but very satisfying, like the real thing.

    POSITIVES - fotorealistic graphics, realistic bike handling physics and track transformation through the race (you can see the racing line being rubberized during the race!), great number of tracks and events/trophies, challenging dynamic weather and day/night transitions, frequent updates and a list of free and purchasable DLCs expanding bike number, largely customizable bikes/suits/ helmets with editor mode, plenty of settings for A.I difficulty/realism/riding aids for a tailored experience, bike set-up and upgrades do translate accurately to handling qualities on track, A.I. makes mistakes too with adversaries subject to falling and crashing.

    NEGATIVES - A.I. does consider your presence and reacts to your moves, but rarely makes overtaking attempts and does so without leaving the racing line. Also AT LOWER DIFFICULTY SETTINGS, they just don't fully accelerate on straights and let you by too easily.
    Partly limited range of bike types - we all love sport-bikes but 4/5 models of Yamaha R-1 (2008, 2012, 2019, 2020) are more than enough. A few chopper bikes and sport-touring (Harleys, MV Agusta Turismo Veloce, Ducati Multistrada...) racing on the available street-circuits would be an interesting and different addition to gameplay!    … Expand

    Really hoping this one would hit the scratch when it comes to racing games as I enjoyed the last one in the series but didn't quite hit the mark...

    Every time, and I mean EVERY, you apply the rear brake - it locks the wheel and sends it flying towards the front of the bike. Even though in reality, that brake makes up (at most) 25% the braking force of the front - and unless you are completely stamping on the thing in real life (and have upgraded pads); it just wouldn't do that.

    The rear brake ought to be there to complement the front - to aid in stability under heavy braking, and ought to be a tool to tighten your line in a corner; as with real life. But Milestone seem to have created a system that upon using the rear brake, it'll lock up in no time (even with ABS!) and throw the bike into all sorts of shapes.

    This one thing, destroys any idea that you are riding a motorcycle, it robs you of the game that this should have been - a decent representation of what riding a bike is like.

    Shame on you Milestone, as you are [unfortunately] the only real company making bike games these days.    … Expand

And not to mention time attack mode... don't bother buying this game, only spend 1-2 hours before giving up, just a big waste of time and money.… Expand
