A really solid and impressively looking game. One of the most gorgeous visually racing games on the switch. Driving feels incredible and the tracks are just beautiful with an interesting though limited selection of vehicles. I really like the realistic and detailed approach this game has to offer. It's an almost perfect game for the switch if you can get it for a lower price since it lacks in terms of variety in vehicles and tracks.

I'm not a huge racing fan but I like to have a couple a them on tap for when I'm im the mood for it. So I'm not really looking for the most realistic or challenging racing game out there. I'm looking for something I can just have a little fun with in short burst from time to time. And Rise: Race the Future hita the spot. It took a race or 2 to get used to the physics but once I did, I had no troubles with the controls. You can dial in stability and steering sensitivity so that's nice. And hey, it turns into a airboat on the water and that's awesome. Overall, it's a fun arcade racer.

Well, this is how one of the greatest handheld dev teams in all of gaming came to an end. They pushed the limits of every generation of nintendo handheld, then sadly the technical-brains behind the operation passed away towards the beginning of this games' development. It had technical problems early on, from what I hear, but honestly it functions beautifully. The options are expansive, but can take a while to adjust. I'm not really sure what the game is trying to do, it feels like slow pace burnout but then your car just spins around like gran turismo with no assists on. It's just ok, pretty boring, but better than most racing games these days. You can progress in Co-op, so that's a plus.

Super solid racer on the switch. Looks good, performance is rock solid and your cars can transform into boats on the fly which is great. Controls for driving on the street and water are also very compelling. Cool Ridge-Racer-like car design. Championships and the soundtrack are super-generic and the game in general kinda lacks an identity or something that makes it stand out. Nonetheless it's good fun and support by the developer has been great (added 60Fps, multiplayer).

This game has received constant updates throughout its life, making it one of the best arcade racers on Switch. It now runs at 60 FPS and features co-op multiplayer.

Honestly, Rise: Race the Future does nothing innovative, but it just manages to bring a good combination of elements that satisfy fans of single player experience. The graphics are above average, quite beautiful for the Switch, and that really impresses. The turbo gathering options are also innovative and I confess that I have never seen anything like it before - I loved being able to have options. The biggest problem is due to the extremely repetitive and generic music, but of course a multiplayer mode would come in very handy in the future. As the game was upgraded to 60 fps after several months of release, I have high hopes that it will also get at least a splitscreen to challenge friends and family on the same console. However, Rise: Race the Future is highly recommended for those who likes just to sit down and play, as well as having fun with the right challenges.

There is some excellent arcade racing to be done, shame more wasn't made of racing on all surfaces (like the water, a great mechanic).
Desperately needs multiplayer and a few other racing options to make it great, but a really bold and solid foundation. Reflected in the price, it's half **** game, looking fwd to whether or not the rest will be delivered

This game looks good enough on the Switch when it is in action but that is literally the only good thing I can say about it. It feels like a cheap mobile game, the handling is very poor, the game doesn't even have any rumble features, and the racing is simplistic at best. You have lazy course layouts that feel poorly designed and the game overall just feels boring to play. You have this oddly disconnected feel the entire time you are trying to race, keep in mind how there is absolutely no feedback in this game and the cars handle kinda oddly. Overall I have to give this game a negative score for feeling half-baked and unfinished.

This is just about the perfect arcade rally racer for a handheld. There is no multiplayer and the music is abysmal but the graphics and performance are about as good as it gets on Switch. There is a ton to do in this game, the load times are very fast and you can also customize every button. The handling is a little soft but the wide track lanes make up for it... The boost mechanic works really well for strategic overtaking and the opponent AI is good. Love this game as it is but it could really benefit from an update adding multiplayer, better music, and maybe replays.

This is a good Arcade Racer, Good speed, mastering sliding is really a cool sensation, and nice graphics on the Switch.

Great sense of speed, responsive controls, looking great and running smooth. Old-school arcade racing fun. No multiplayer though
