Ride 4 is a racing game made only for racers. This isn’t your casual “have a few friends over, have a couple drinks and mess around” type of game like Mario Kart, it’s a picky, sensitive, intricate, realistic, and truly beautiful game. It is tough to play. It’s not friendly to new players, but to the experienced racer, it would be tough to imagine what improvements could be made to a completed work of art such as this. To them, it’s nigh on perfection.

We could say that RIDE 4 is the game that this license wanted to offer years ago. After a game that prioritized quantity over quality, in this game they become more demanding with the driving experience. Closer to a simulation, it isn’t an unreachable game for those wants to race in motorcycles. But becomes a challenge when turns off the aids. The most important shortcoming now is the quantity of motorcycles and circuits, but almost, RIDE 4 gives the most impressive experience on a motorcycle.

Milestone brings us Ride 4, an example that motorcycle racing has a lot to give. A simulator with all the letters with a great catalog of motorcycles and an extraordinary visual section.

Ride 4 is the definitive motorcycle title, confirming Milestone's talent that has learned from its mistakes. Despite some uncertainties, the fourth chapter will manage to hit the hearts of the players.

It may have issues, but in RIDE 4, Milestone has finally created the two-wheeled Gran Turismo that fans have always wanted.

A dearth of online multiplayer modes is about the only real blemish on RIDE 4’s rap sheet; if serious online competition is your thing, this may not be the game for you. If getting stuck into a chunky single-player career floats your boat, however, then you’ll be more than pleased with it. RIDE 4 is the best-looking bike-based racing game yet, and the visuals are backed-up by handling and physics that have been noticeably fine-tuned. This is about as good as it gets for those who like donning virtual leather and tearing up a track on just two wheels, providing they’re not too fussed about human competition.

In theory, Ride 4 with its huge selection of tracks and vehicles is a dream for motorcycle enthusiasts, but with massive balance problems, chaotic AI and a dreary career mode the motivation takes a downward turn.
