Haven't played a lot yet, but there are some things I like right off the bat. It has a story, even if it's not super in depth. I like racing games to have a story. Second, once you buy it, you own it. No ads, no microtransactions, no unnecessary permissions so the developer can data mine you. I love that and wish more developers would return to paid Android games.

This's just absolutely brilliant. The gyroscope controls are the best I've ever seen implemented in a mobile game. The graphics, while dated against current AAA releases, are still really good, and the sensation of speed, the handling on water, wicked soundtrack, are all first rate. If u like racing games, this is and its sister title, are the best I've played on android. By some way too, actually.

Overall a great Android game. The short loading times and the quick races mean that it is easy to kill short amounts of time without becoming too committed in the game. Brilliant fast paced racing. Gorgeous graphics. Great soundtrack (but see below). Good tilt steering. The lack of in game ads and purchases is bliss. Works well with my Xbox 360 controller (wired). Few flaws which can be worked on for their next game: music sounds excessively compressed and detracts from an otherwise enjoyable listen. Easier to play with a controller - you have control over the acceleration.

Summarize

Illegal hydrojet racing gives Riptide GP Renegade its identity. This premium Android racer sends armored riders across unstable water, mixing arcade speed and aerial stunts with a disgraced competitor’s comeback story. Its flooded factories and military zones feel far removed from another asphalt circuit.
