A new climate and a lick of paint have made another game in practically the precise mould of the brilliant Sniper Elite III, so I can't really complain. It's like going back to your favourite restaurant and ordering what you always order. Sure, it's a bloody delight, and there's not much bad to say about it, but perhaps something slightly different (aware as I am that this is vague and ill-defined) might have been nice?

RIDE 2 is a good game: more rich, complete and optimized of the original chapter.

While Ride 2 has some problems, such as questionable balancing of difficulty and credit-earning, the wealth of customisation options available and the pure gratification and thrill of competing makes it rather unlike any other experience currently available.

Despite an aged graphic style, Ride 2 is an enjoyable racing game that corrects most of the issues of the first episode. If you love motorcycles in their essence, this is the game to buy.

RIDE 2 lures with full garage of highly detailed motorcycles, nice tracks and a wide range of settings. Monstrous content was however attached to an uninspired game campaign. Before you manage to discover the whole game, it grows boring.

With a ton of content, Ride 2 has some great ambitions. But at the end of the day, the game looks great but plays horribly.

Simply, Ride 2 doesn't make a convincing case for more motorcycle games to be produced. Yes, it is a genre that is underrepresented in comparison to its car-based siblings, but the level of expected quality across racing games as a whole is so high that anything other than an outstanding release is impossible to recommend.
