iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

From the outstanding water to the Career and Online play, you'll struggle to find better racers on smartphones and tablets.

Riptide GP was a great game for its time, but I feel that the improvements and additions made by Vector Unit have turned Riptide GP2 into a full-fledged excellent racing game.

Though it locks you out of the top podium positions near the beginning, Riptide GP2 is a handsome and thrilling water-based racer.

Riptide GP 2 improves on the fast-paced hydro jet racing action of its predecessor, adding new tracks, vehicles, and tricks for players to splash around with.

It’s amazing to know that for under three bucks, a completely addicting racing title such as Riptide GP 2 exists. To get the full experience, I would suggest giving it a spin on an iPad, as your smart phone won’t capture all the dimensions this racer has to offer.

Pacing issues aside, Riptide GP2 is the mobile spiritual successor to Wave Race and Hydro Thunder fans have been hoping for.

Riptide GP2 fixes most issues from the previous game, presenting a strong racer in an interesting world.

Riptide GP2 doesn’t reinvent the iOS racing game, but with loads of well-executed content to offer, it's still a largely great option.
