    Not the best game i've ever played, but not the worst either, i have neither clawed out my eyes, or worshipped. Should have got the price right, it's budget baby.

    So bad. It's so adorably terrible.
    PC Port is a joke. Mouse look feels wonky, No resolution options, No graphics options, Hardly any control customization available.
    Story is laughably rotten-cheesy. You play as Jake Conway a soldier who returns from the vietnam war only to get himself and his brother killed. Jake actually survives and he vows vengeance. It could have been a potentially    So bad. It's so adorably terrible.

    Story is laughably rotten-cheesy. You play as Jake Conway a soldier who returns from the vietnam war only to get himself and his brother killed. Jake actually survives and he vows vengeance. It could have been a potentially good grindhouse story. And it sort of does with terrible voice acting and one dimensional characters. The game also has a playable grindhouse-style montage opening. Albeit missing a bombastic narrator sadly.
    The game has the worst depiction of sex in the history of gaming. If fully clothed sex turns you on, this is the game for you. Women in the game will have sex with you for no reason beyond you helping them.
    Graphically, the game looks like it was from 2003, almost 10 years ago. The game does have a nice cartoony colorful vibe which saves the game a little, but it doesn't forgive poor animation.
    Sound design is laughable. Motorbikes sound like lawnmowers. Guns sound like BB guns. Certain sound effects doesn't exist at all. Thankfully, The soundtrack is decent with nice rock and roll songs.
    Gameplay revolves around three things. On-foot shooting, On-foot melee, Motorbike riding. All of them mediocre at best. The shooting sucks at first but as soon as you upgrade your gun to the best assault rifle, it becomes half way decent. IF you can handle the poor mouse optimization. With melee brawls, it's if you don't mind button mashing. With motorbikes, it plays like one of those 'run-to-the-end' mobile games (See temple run) You can only move only forward and slide left or right. If you hit something that stops you, you spawn a bit back and continue. Motorbike riding sequences feel a bit padded but otherwise manageable and easy. Over all the gameplay is just mediocre, perfectly functional. The game's linear nature will remind you of Postal 3. As in, you get a mission and you do a mission in a single map. Thankfully, The individual maps are interesting in design.
    Overall, the game is a mess. But NOT as terrible as everybody says. It's perfectly functional and you can have fun tearing it to pieces and have some legit fun here and there.    … Expand

    What a prophetic title. Since the first announcement 5 years ago Ride to Hell has come a long way just to reach the hell of deserved mockery and low scores. Stay clear of this game as if it was a puddle of oil on the highway. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.54]

    The attempt to stick together some assets and calling the result a videogame is inexcusable. One of the worst titles of this entire gen.

    You can try out Ride to Hell for some masochistic fun. Low-budget games are built by throwing some concepts together without much thought - Ride to Hell is exactly that, but much more expensive. Interesting story, cool characters, freedom, original missions, great fighting system, exciting chases and heavy guitar riffs - none of that is here. Ride to Hell: Retribution is damaged in such a way, that you start thinking: what were the developers drinking/smoking?
