    Waste of money.

    Uninspired, uncreative, and overpriced.

    Stick with a good racer like Crash Team Racing, Mario Kart, or Sonic Team Racing. Kids aren't stupid, they know what a good game. And this is not.

    I have no idea why i got this. most likely morbid curiosity but Race with Ryan is a cheap clone of Mario kart. the a lot of the items behave the same. and the controls are a poor mans Mario kart i checked to see if my controller was drifting but it wasn't the controls are that bad. the game also looks like a PS2 game. if your parent thinking of getting this game just get him Mario kart. itI have no idea why i got this. most likely morbid curiosity but Race with Ryan is a cheap clone of Mario kart. the a lot of the items behave the same. and the controls are a poor mans Mario kart i checked to see if my controller was drifting but it wasn't the controls are that bad. the game also looks like a PS2 game. if your parent thinking of getting this game just get him Mario kart. it may be double the price but it's worth it.… Expand

    I hated this game. Hated hated hated hated hated this game. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant player-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the player by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.

    Ryan toy review sucks. I hate this game so much. It's a massive cash grab to get little kids to spend their hard earned allowance, and another excuse to abuse the name of that poor child Ryan by his douchebag parents. I hate this crap.

    Cash Grab. I'm pretty sure if you own a switch or other systems you have a racing game for it. So why just get a cash grab of a game based of a kid playing with toys. If it got a price drop for like $10 or $15 then I may give it a higher score like 2 or 1 but its staying until it gets a price drop.

    Some people might consider God of war, the last of us 1+2 and the OG halo games masterpieces. But they're wrong. Race with ryan might be one of if not the best game ever created. From its unforgettable soundtrack, to its fluid controls, race with ryan is a game every gamer should experience.

    Race with Ryan provides a stunning and innovative experience never before seen in the Kart Racing genre, with gorgeous visuals and stunning gameplay, this game is one for the books.

    I cried at the end of Race with Ryan. Watching him grow and develop as a character instills this feeling of happiness that cannot be topped.

    Race with Ryan is to games what 1984 was to political satire. A truly genre-defining moment, a triumph and nothing less. This landmark in human ingenuity is not to be missed.

    Race with Ryan is the greatest racing game (possibly even the greatest game in general) ever crafted.

    Race with Ryan is a breath of fresh air in the Kart Racing genre. The high skill ceiling rewards players when they master the formula. Once it clicks, it never leaves. However, the lack of truly challenging AI dampens the mood once you reach Platinum. LAN Parties are essential to reaching the ultimate gameplay experience.

    Race with Ryan was a destined to be a classic from the moment it was conceived. its stunning art style and gorgeous driving controls make for a kart racer like no other. A truly revolutionary game in the genre, a title not even the likes of Mario Kart can achieve

    I'm not going to beat around the bush; Race with Bryan is nothing less than a masterpiece. I bought it for my son but when I saw the astounding graphics and innovative gameplay, I yanked his Switch from his tiny hands and haven't put it down since. My wife has since left me and now has full custody. Do I regret it? NO! Race with Bryan is hands down the best game of this generation.

    Race With Ryan took me on a journey through life that I didn't know I needed. I couldn't believe the lessons I learned and how unforgettable an experience I was given. Worth every penny. I had to go to the bathroom multiple times through my playthrough. I just couldn't pull myself away. After finishing my 2 litre of Dr Pepper; I used the bottle to relieve myself.

My apartment stinks, I can't have friends over anymore, and the neighbors continuously complain about the smell. But it was all worth it just to show Ryan who the real driver really is.… Expand

    it is time to stop.

    Your kid would be better off with Mario Kart or Team Sonic Racing, which are not only actual quality, though also cater to this game's demographic honestly better than it does.

    At least the game is playable, the music is passable, and the visual backgrounds are appealing. Other than that, it is a terrible game that acts as a shameless attempt to exploit Ryan and his YouTube channel Ryan's World.

    A game so bad, it can't be called a game! Stay away as far as possible from this sh.t!!! 1 point for actually working though, and some soundtracks are catchy. But apart from that, it has 0 redeeming qualities.

    Basically, a rip-off of every single racing game. Even NKR (Nickelodeon Kart Racers) is better & even still it's pretty bad.

    A really fun game for young boys and girls that range from four to eight years old and for any Ryan fan that is out there.

    Really, though, there’s no reason why you should put up with a kart-racer that’s merely fine when you have so many other better options out there, most of which are just as suitable for the demographic Race with Ryan is aiming for.

    I give kudos to Ryan. He’s a cute kid, a millionaire before he’s reached double digits, and I wish him the best. But while this title might work as fan service, as a game it’s just poor. With only six tracks and numerous other problems, why spend $39.99 when Team Sonic Racing is the same price (or less) on Nintendo Switch? Kids deserve higher-quality than what’s presented here.
