    Judging by the lack of online activity, I fear many players will simply overlook the fun this game can offer. I for one enjoyed the pure gameplay and the progressive challenge. We need more games like this, good, old-fashioned, professionally delivered fun. Simply put Riptide GP: Renegade is the best arcade-style racer I've played in quite a while. For a measly tenner, it should be a no-brainer to jump on the waves.

    The Riptide series always felt too big for its mobile roots, and Renegade may be the jewel in its crown. The story adds a new depth to it and shows that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Everything has been improved upon from the previous entry on the Xbox and it has remained a decent price. If this is a series you have yet to get into, Riptide GP Renegade is easily the best place to start.

    Riptide GP: Renegade is a masterclass in how to take a good concept and execute it well. While nothing the game does is exceptional in any way, its faults are few and minimal.

    Overall I was pleasantly surprised by Riptide GP Renegade. Given the price of admission, this water based racer offers a long single player mode, and some local and online multiplayer racing that can be fun too. Sure, it’s not the most perfect racing experience, as it can feel like a grind at times, and the AI is as tough as nails to race against more often than not, but these points don’t take away from what the game does well. For those looking for a different racing experience, and one that won’t break the bank, take a long hard look at Riptide GP Renegade, and for those non-racing fans out there, you should also take a look at this game too, as the price is right and it is a fairly enjoyable racing experience.

    Niggles aside, Renegade's lengthy Career Mode and local and online multiplayer support all make for a robust package. Factor in the low price of ten bucks and full Xbox Play Anywhere support, and you have a must-buy for arcade racing fans.

    Renegade isn’t an innovative title. Not only does it keep itself very traditional to the past works of Vector Unit, but it also remains very traditional to the conventions of arcade racers. If you’re looking for a fun, solid racer for a couple of hours then Renegade is a decent choice. If you want something more then you’re out of luck.

A première vue, cela semble très bof mais la conduite retranscrit rapidement de bonnes sensations, le jeu est super... fluide, assez joli et charge en un éclair (en tout cas sur la X).

    Avec 9 circuits plutôt soignés et très animés, les courses s'enchaînent sans trop de répétition et ma foi, tout irait pour le mieux ou presque durant cette carrière typique de ces courses d'arcade. Si ce n'est hélas ce besoin de faire des figures... En effet, comme trop souvent dans le genre, il est conseillé de faire le kakou au guidon (les kévins aiment ça) et de réaliser des pirouettes lors des sauts.

    Les pirouettes rapportent du "turbo" -non indispensable cela dit pour remporter les courses- mais deviennent elles-mêmes indispensables lors d'épreuves chronométrées et là, c'est le drame (à dire avec le ton du journaleux M6 standard : "eeet-là... c'est-le-draaame"). Rien de personnel mais cher Riptide GP truc j'emmerde tes pirouettes à la con pour demeurés de la manette : je les conchie sans amalgamer mais avec la plus grande fermeté. Et je leur pisse à la raie.

    Et là donc, c'est le drame puisqu'on ne peut pas poursuivre la carrière sans en passer par là. Quel dommage, car les courses étaient vraiment sympathiques.    … Expand
