certainly one of my favorite games ever created. its effortlessly light yet console quality, gameplay & optimization are top notch. theres absolutely nothing like it, nobody else has made a water jetski racing game of any good or similar caliber whatsoever. what i wouldnt give for riptide gp 4 but its a dead title and now the studio only cares about beach buggy racing.

This is now the sixth time I've played this game to completion. 3 times on mobile, 2 on Nintendo Switch, and now 1 time on PC. This game is just great.

What a outstandingly fun arcade racer at a no brainer price point. I usually don't like complicated tricks, but this makes that fun. Fairly easy to pull off, if you got the height. Music and water effects working well here. At the end of the day, a white knuckle racer you are looking for. If you like wave race, don't hesitate!

This is probably the best jet-ski / PWC game you can play today. Riptide adds some crazy scary waves too and the story is kinda fun - very much in the style of bionic commander, double dragon - not taking itself too seriously and easy to skip through and ignore if so you wish - the tricks in the game are easy to do, very arcae racer style - customization is nice too. 10 year old game now - would be nice to see a new version!

Simple and fun. Better than the first game imo.
