Ride 2

« Ride 2 has the ambition to appeal to as wide audience of motorbike fans as possible, so it offers loads of contents (tracks, bikes, competitions) and is very flexible in terms of customizing your experience. It’s the best bike racing game of this generation. [13/2016, p.62] »

« Ride 2 tries to be the Gran Turismo of motorbikes. The real world tracks are good, but the original tracks are dull and the too fast reset after falling rewards reckless driving in multiplayer. [Nov 2016] »

« An excellent videogame that is outstanding in the driving genre. It features very polished gameplay mechanics and a enormous amount of content. Besides, it has improved greatly its visuals, even though the online mode is still very traditional. »

« An encyclopedia of motorcycling, fun to play and developed with passion. The best choice for motorcycle enthusiasts. »

« Simply a must for motorcycle lovers. Ride 2 is better than the prequel in every area. There are still some flaws, but the experience is enjoyable and fun. »

« Despite the similarities, Ride 2 is not as user friendly as Microsoft’s annual racing games. This means players are going to have to really work to ride with the best, and that’s an uphill battle they may not want to fight on your recreational time. »

« Ride 2 is definitely a game for racing fans, designed from the ground up with customization and realism as the foundational pillars. It’s hard to recommend if you aren’t a fan of the genre, but I would consider it a must have enthusiasts. »

« Milestone shows its passion for racing in Ride 2, a game that is quite big in terms of motorbikes or circuits, but the graphics are quite poor for the genre and even the current hardware. »

« Why doesn't this developer make more games with arcade gameplay like Ride 2008? These bums think that there are no people who like motorcycles and like arcade gameplay. »

« Very good game, best game about moto racing. It has a team mode that brings something new to be more enjoyable. I recomend 100%. »

« Ride 2 is a great game, the old reviews you find on the web are really unfair. My guess is that perhaps things got fixed since release. The reviews should have been updated. I currently own about 25 bikes, they all feel different. I'm not at all an expert in racing, I only have a controller and mostly played arcade racing (mini)games before. Yet I have a lot of fun with this title. I do keep most assists on so far, it's the kind of riding that I want. With that, the racing is a lot of fun; nothing beats carefully crashing other bikers to take the lead :D I have tons of gold medals, played over 100 races and still coming back. Money is a bit slow to come; the bikes are expensive to buy and to upgrade. But that's why you have these invitational events every 8 races, where you are offered four times the usual credits plus a free bike. So I'd say progression is well balanced. There are still tons of content to explore, I haven't tested these R1 bikes yet. I can tell you though that super fast bikes are a lot more difficult to handle than average ones, as expected. The game encourages you to explore different kinds of bikes all the time by putting limits on the maximum pp in races. So no bike is ever obsolete. As a negative point, I'd say the game doesn't encourage you to take risks by removing assists and increasing the difficulty. Indeed, the game only rewards you with a very tiny bonus for a significantly harder experience. It would have been more exciting to give greater rewards for brave riders. Another negative point is the existence of a booster pack you can buy with real money. Unless you are a hardcore fan of motorcycles, I recommend you buy the standard edition, it's cheaper and already has more bikes than you'll ever manage to buy. »

« Man i really enjoying this game, a lot of bikes and tracks, accesible physics but not to the point to be boring, the sounds of the bikes is fantastic. Maybe the graphics is the only meh aspect but at the end of the day the game is solid. »

« É um jogo legal, mas para pegar numa boa promoção, não é o tipo de jogo que eu costumo jogar, mas acabei me divertindo. »

« Is Ride 2 still worth playing in 2021? Definitely, but with a few exceptions. I paid $5 on PS Store for the SE and have pumped some serious hours in. This is a quick, honest review from someone new to the genre, but does ride in real life. I still own a PS3 Superbike game that I bought cheap, played once, and forgot all about because it seemed cluttered, confusing, and difficult.. I didn't have the time or want to deal with it. Ride 2, however, is incredibly accessible. I started out with all the settings and difficulty turned down to get an idea of gameplay. Within a couple races I had the difficulty and physics increased and all the assists turned off. The graphics are still amazing on my PS4 slim, 50" UHD Vizio, and give me a huge rush when doing a screaming speed run on a bike I've meticulously tuned (more on that in a minute). I play 95% in the FP handlebar view because of the realism and sensation of speed it gives. I love motorcycles. I ride an 1100 cruiser and have never been on a sport bike. This game confirms i would have too much fun and hurt myself horrendously. I do wish there were large CC cruisers, but since this is a racing game and not a Sunday cruise simulator, they get a pass. The tuning is basic, yet adequate. It offers enough to change handling without overwhelming you with settings you'll likely never touch, such as GT. The biggest issue for me isn't the lack of paint options but the menu and layouts. The inability to run a quick lap after doing some adj. before a race is very annoying. Basically, I run a lap and see where i end up then bounce back to time trials to knock off time. I imagine this will be less bothersome once i get a good grasp of each track and owned bike attributes. Bouncing between menu screens gets old. Another glaring omission is the ability to directly compare one bike to another while shopping and especially getting a quick test ride. They're small yet very annoying complaints. Everything that truly matters is here and it's solid though. Gameplay is tight. Sound and graphics are on point. All the basic modes are here and shopping for a new bike to customize and run a series is always fun. Each and every bike and style looks top notch and handles differently. It's been years since I've been addicted to a racing game, and maybe its bc I haven't ridden in over a year, but this game scratches an itch for me. It's my go-to bike game til I can snag a PS5 and Ride 4. Snag it cheap if ya can. Cheers. »

« That's right. You buy the game with the promise of free expansions titled "add bikes to your garage". That simple. What do you think it is? Free bikes, I supposed. When you start to play, the deceived player realise that he has only "the right to buy the bikes", hgh priced. No matter the good graphics and/or the gameplay. Can't give a minimum rate to this game. »

« The whole purpose of what I’ve been doing the last couple of years is to find new games genres and franchises that I like. Unfortunately for every new discovered Genre that you like, there are going to be some Genre that you don’t like. I don’t think I like racing games. I enjoy playing Mario Kart with friends but racing against AI or maybe people online. It’s just not fun for me. I don’t know if this is a good racing game, all I do know is that I found it to be very boring. I’m glad that I found out early this year that I’m not into racing games so I know to stop buying/renting them. There is not much more I can say about this game, it was extremely boring and I don’t want to play any more racing games (other than the occasional cart racer). »
