But with only 30 or so tracks available, and only a small few of them truly differentiating themselves like the super long track from Germany and Sierra Nevada’s race at sunset, what’s going to drive initiative is whether or not unlocking different types of motorcycles or beating your lap times strikes your fancy. There are 16 in all, so someone could theoretically race 128 times and still have bikes to unlock. Winning one of those (or at least placing in the top three), nets the player a bike unlock only offered here. Every eight completed race events ends a “season,” which opens up the Invitationals. Granted Ride 2 does its best to fight redundancy.
This is further exacerbated by bike type, which meant that I was stuck playing the same events repeatedly in order to save enough money to buy a type needed for new events. Although there’s no harsh punishment for placing, say, dead last as I did several times at the start, you’re going to want to win each race as bikes tend to be expensive and are a bit of a grind when each one available runs from 3,000-12,000 credits. Completing races earns you credits to unlock more bikes, but placing in the top three earns you more. For example, if you start out with a Naked cycle as I did in the beginning, the only events available are ones built for Naked types.
standard races, time trials, point A to point B races, overtakes, and drag races) sorted by skill level - Amateur, Rookie, and Pro - and even further separated by bike type. The bulk of Ride 2 is set in its World Tour mode.
It’s just a matter of whether or not to invest a hefty amount of time for such little return. I’ve wanted to try a technical racer before, but felt overwhelmed by how much I really don’t know about cars.ĭespite a perilously steep learning curve, Ride 2 did alleviate my growing pains the more I played it. I’ve always been a huge fan of the genre, but since I’m generally terrible at it I’m drawn to more arcade racing titles with less technical aptitude required. There has been a dearth of racing games recently, let alone ones focused entirely around motorcycles, so Ride 2 jumped out at me.
