Rev up your rocket-powered hydro jet and put your racing skills to the test. Riptide GP™2 features dynamic racing on fully interactive water surfaces, a deep career mode with tons of upgrades, customizable riders and skills, online and local multiplayer, and fully integrated controller support.
The game features tight, responsive controls that allow players to precisely navigate their hydro jets through the dynamic water environments. Players can accelerate, decelerate, and steer their vehicles with a high degree of accuracy, which is essential for successfully executing the game's core mechanics.
At the heart of the gameplay lies an engaging stunt system. As players approach ramps or ride over waves, they can execute a wide variety of mid-air tricks and stunts using specific controller input combinations. The complexity of these stunts directly translates into the amount of boost players earn, which they can then use to temporarily increase their top speed and gain an advantage over opponents.
Players can progress and customize their hydro jet racing experience through an upgrade system. Earning currency from races allows them to purchase new vehicles and enhance their performance, such as improving acceleration, top speed, and stunt abilities.
One of the game's standout features is its detailed and interactive water physics. The tracks feature constantly changing wave patterns and water disturbances, which players must skillfully navigate to maintain control and momentum.
In addition to standard races, the game offers a variety of event types that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. These include Elimination races, where players are progressively eliminated over the course of the event, Hot Lap challenges focused on achieving the fastest single lap time, and Freestyle events where players are scored based on the complexity and execution of their mid-air stunts.
