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

There are a lot of games modes, but principals are the Race and the Time trial. There are a lot of circuit (about half of these are italians, and that's only a good thing: I love italian circuits) and 195 free bikes (about 25 are DLCs) and about half of these bikes are italian (I love italian bikes). Every motorcycle has got specific features and there is upgredablein a lot of different parts of the bike, and the biker is featurable with new helmets and suits.

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

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

Definitely, but with a few exceptions. I paid $5 on PS Store for the SE and have pumped some serious hours in. This is a quick, honest review from someone new to the genre, but does ride in real life.
   I still own a PS3 Superbike game that I bought cheap, played once, and forgot all about because it seemed cluttered, confusing, and difficult.. I didn't have the time or want to deal with it. Ride 2, however, is incredibly accessible. I started out with all the settings and difficulty turned down to get an idea of gameplay. Within a couple races I had the difficulty and physics increased and all the assists turned off. The graphics are still amazing on my PS4 slim, 50" UHD Vizio, and give me a huge rush when doing a screaming speed run on a bike I've meticulously tuned (more on that in a minute).
   I play 95% in the FP handlebar view because of the realism and sensation of speed it gives. I love motorcycles. I ride an 1100 cruiser and have never been on a sport bike. This game confirms i would have too much fun and hurt myself horrendously. I do wish there were large CC cruisers, but since this is a racing game and not a Sunday cruise simulator, they get a pass. The tuning is basic, yet adequate. It offers enough to change handling without overwhelming you with settings you'll likely never touch, such as GT.
   The biggest issue for me isn't the lack of paint options but the menu and layouts. The inability to run a quick lap after doing some adj. before a race is very annoying. Basically, I run a lap and see where i end up then bounce back to time trials to knock off time. I imagine this will be less bothersome once i get a good grasp of each track and owned bike attributes. Bouncing between menu screens gets old. Another glaring omission is the ability to directly compare one bike to another while shopping and especially getting a quick test ride. They're small yet very annoying complaints.
   Everything that truly matters is here and it's solid though. Gameplay is tight. Sound and graphics are on point. All the basic modes are here and shopping for a new bike to customize and run a series is always fun. Each and every bike and style looks top notch and handles differently.
   It's been years since I've been addicted to a racing game, and maybe its bc I haven't ridden in over a year, but this game scratches an itch for me. It's my go-to bike game til I can snag a PS5 and Ride 4. Snag it cheap if ya can. Cheers.… Expand

Unfortunately forThe whole purpose of what I’ve been doing the last couple of years is to find new games genres and franchises that I like. Unfortunately for every new discovered Genre that you like, there are going to be some Genre that you don’t like. I don’t think I like racing games. I enjoy playing Mario Kart with friends but racing against AI or maybe people online. It’s just not fun for me.
   
   I don’t know if this is a good racing game, all I do know is that I found it to be very boring. I’m glad that I found out early this year that I’m not into racing games so I know to stop buying/renting them.
   
   There is not much more I can say about this game, it was extremely boring and I don’t want to play any more racing games (other than the occasional cart racer).… Expand

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
