   I currently own about 25 bikes, they all feel different. I'm not at all an expert in racing, I only have a controller and mostly played arcade racing (mini)games before. Yet I have a lot of fun with this title. I do keep most assists on so far, it's the kind of riding that I want. With that, the racing is a lot of fun; nothing beats carefully crashing other bikers to take the lead :D I have tons of gold medals, played over 100 races and still coming back. Money is a bit slow to come; the bikes are expensive to buy and to upgrade. But that's why you have these invitational events every 8 races, where you are offered four times the usual credits plus a free bike. So I'd say progression is well balanced.
   
   There are still tons of content to explore, I haven't tested these R1 bikes yet. I can tell you though that super fast bikes are a lot more difficult to handle than average ones, as expected. The game encourages you to explore different kinds of bikes all the time by putting limits on the maximum pp in races. So no bike is ever obsolete.
   
   As a negative point, I'd say the game doesn't encourage you to take risks by removing assists and increasing the difficulty. Indeed, the game only rewards you with a very tiny bonus for a significantly harder experience. It would have been more exciting to give greater rewards for brave riders. Another negative point is the existence of a booster pack you can buy with real money.
   
   Unless you are a hardcore fan of motorcycles, I recommend you buy the standard edition, it's cheaper and already has more bikes than you'll ever manage to buy.… Expand

Gran Turismo for motorbikes, except this looks much better. When you are watching a video of the race you just finished, it actually looks better than Milestone's promo pictures! Virtual bikes have never been this glorious before. Even Valentino Rossi the Game, Milestones jewel, an official Moto GP simulator, cannot beat Ride 2. Many may not agree, but I like the spirit of Ride 2 more.
   
   The game has enough difficulty options, everyone can learn to ride it. Physics feel believable enough. For me it was a little bit more difficult than virtual car racing in the beginning, took about an hour to learn basic driving in easy mode, but you will propably be faster, I'm an old fart.
   
   If you love bikes, you will love Ride 2. Gorgeous vehicles, awesome road sceneries, true to life race tracks. Ride 1 was somewhat unfinished, the sequel is finished and polished **** A1 game. Riding feels fast and furious. Of course when you sit staring at a monitor... it can't be anything like riding a bike physically, oh why I wrote that boring no-brainer. But when you are doomed inside, there's -15 celsius outside, and the summer is just a far-off dream, Ride 2 can save your mental health.
   
   I recommend this game.… Expand

It might not be the most beautiful game and the presentation could be a bit more spectacular. But when it comes down to riding, bike and track selection, this is just pure fun. To me, the most important improvement over its predecessor are the greatly improved load times. For all car arcade racers: It is a motorcycle game and a semi-simulation. Don't expect to go around corners like in ridge racer or you will be disappointed.… Expand

The visuals are stunning and are an improvement over its predecessor, Ride.  However, the drawback to this game is an initial installation time of about 30-45 minutes.  There are arcade elements as well.  There is no health bar. Also, if you crash.  The rider gets right back up after flopping like a rag doll.  I think this game is perfect for the casual to experienced gamer as you can set each of the races difficulty before beginning the track.  If you are looking for a motorcycle racing simulator coupled with arcade gameplay choose Ride 2!… Expand

Ride 2 provides multiple game modes and begins with a pretty solid tutorial mode.
   
   Once completed, you can choose a starter bike. You will be able to race in a world event which provides reputation and credit on each race won depending on the rank. If you get into trouble with your bike, our favorite feature comes into play - you are able to rewind and take the time in reverse and have a do-over of taking control of bike again a few seconds before.
   
   We really appreciated the graphics, especially the bike details. In addition, the environment looks pretty good, just keep in mind that you will focused mainly on the track and the bike. While there is nothing much to the background music, the sounds in relation to the bikes are performed in perfect synchronicity.
   
   I would give this game 8 stars for providing with perfect racing experience. For the full review, you can head on over to our website.… Expand

   É um jogo legal, mas para pegar numa boa promoção, não é o tipo de jogo que eu costumo jogar, mas acabei me divertindo.

Not sure why there is such a "backlash" regarding weak graphics or AI; I have not found anything even close to this level of motorcycle racing experience with any other game developer. The bikes look and play quite realistic. It is exciting to get a chance to bring such a variety of bikes through their paces on the track. The areas I would like to see improved are more realistic sound and more tracks. The possibility of a virtual city to ride these bikes through would be entertaining but probably not realistic within budget and focus of the game.… Expand
