    It runs and plays remarkably in all modes and retains its great gameplay mechanics and innovations from other versions and is, at time of writing and in the current absence of Wave Race on the Switch, one of the best racing games on the machine that exceeds what one could expect from a game at that price.

    Overall Riptide GP Renegade provides a nice experience on the Switch. The XP and BP upgrade system provides a great amount of replayability, while the online and local split screen multiplayer means you can always play with other people whenever and wherever. Be warned though - the choppy frame rate in handheld mode can be a damper on the overall fluid dynamic, so you may want to plan on playing this docked. Otherwise, if you're a fan of Wave Race or racing games in general Riptide GP Renegade would be a great addition to your Switch library.

    Overall, Riptide GP: Renegade is a fun and delightful experience for any racing fans, but will especially hook those – like me – that grew up with Jet Moto. Although the story appears thin and doesn’t do enough to explore the settings of the world around you, the wide range of gameplay options and modes like online multiplayer will provide ample distraction to the player.

It has a decent amount of content and a rather dead online scene.

    While it doens't deliver breathtaking graphics, it is very good for an Android port and if you like racing I can actually recommend this - IF it's on sale.    … Full Review »

    Graphics are cool. Some if the tracks feature set pieces that do something awesome while you race around them. Gameplay is also cool. ButGraphics are cool. Some if the tracks feature set pieces that do something awesome while you race around them. Gameplay is also cool. But there are only a few tracks. Some events felt repetitive. And there are some performance issues on some tracks, like The Ruins and some issues in handheld mode. Overall, a good game considering the price.… Full Review »

    Meh, it would be funner if it wasn't so frustrating. I've been stuck on a boss battle 18 races now. The police are like gnats, just annoyingMeh, it would be funner if it wasn't so frustrating. I've been stuck on a boss battle 18 races now. The police are like gnats, just annoying and ruin what would be a fun racing experience. They don't go after your competitors and your competitors' bikes defy gravity and wave effects way better than you. Every time you lose they suggest upgrading my bike but my bikes already maxed. There's plenty of variety and gameplay where no levels have to be so f*ing frustrating and difficult. I'm about halfway and angrily stuck due to an unfair A.I. I'm a casual gamer that loves racing games and this one was exciting at first but now terribly unfair. It would be nice if the cops could be disabled and it be just pure racing. Maybe I could beat them.… Full Review »
