    There is some excellent arcade racing to be done, shame more wasn't made of racing on all surfaces (like the water, a great mechanic).
    Desperately needs multiplayer and a few other racing options to make it great, but a really bold and solid foundation. Reflected in the price, it's half of a great game, looking fwd to whether or not the rest will be delivered

    Well, this is how one of the greatest handheld dev teams in all of gaming came to an end. They pushed the limits of every generation of nintendo handheld, then sadly the technical-brains behind the operation passed away towards the beginning of this games' development. It had technical problems early on, from what I hear, but honestly it functions beautifully.

    I'm not really sure what the game is trying to do, it feels like slow pace burnout but then your car just spins around like gran turismo with no assists on. It's just ok, pretty boring, but better than most racing games these days. You can progress in Co-op, so that's a plus.    … Expand

    Even if you were to look at this title without comparing it to other arcade racers, Rise: Race the Future would simply be fine. The track designs are good, and the Challenge mode offers up something in lieu of multiplayer. However, with a limited selection of tracks and cars when compared to other games, Rise feels rather limited in terms of what the player can do before boredom sets in. Ultimately, the game does well as a quick snack, but it's doesn't need to be a permanent part of one's racing library.

    As the checkered flag comes down on RISE: Race the Future, it has finished strong. The graphics, the driving mechanics, the tracks, the vehicles, and the play-time are all very good. The game is fun to play and challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. Even if you normally don’t get into racing games, RISE is definitely worth having in your Switch collection. Unfortunately, the lack of multiplayer is a significant omission that we can’t ignore.

    Rise: Race the Future is a visually impressive arcade experience whose futuristic setting makes for plenty of fast-paced action with some interesting twists too. A lack of multiplayer and niggling control issues aside, Rise: Race the Future still makes for a thrilling change of pace especially if you’re starting to feel a little burned out on kart racers.
