Hi it is a very good game highly recomended, but it keeps saying my data is getting corrupt and it forces me to delete it, can I get some help from someone hit me up please if you know how to fix that problem

This game undoubtedly has a good graphical set-up with some seriously good visuals to give your eyes something nice to see. Although be it good looking, it's not exactly the best in it's entire delivery.

Now, I have played motorsport racing games prior that not only include a Nintendo classic but MotoGP 13 as well. In my personal opinion, MotoGP 13 is probably one of the best racing games out there. I personally do not think Ride gives it a run for it's money but does have a few perks of it's own. Ride is a motorcycle racing game that entices players with it's various bike selection and decent gameplay. The selection of bikes ranges from naked bikes, historical bikes to super bikes each with their own sort of feel (regarding handling) and power. I start off with this point as it's the most influential part of the game as all the big names from Triumph, Kawasaki, Yamaha to KTM are all here. The rest is give or take - alright at best.

The control scheme is decently immersive and accurate at certain times. There is the manual tuck that the player can choose to activate on top of other manual options (brake assistance and transmission settings). The braking system feature for example has two separate buttons for front brake and rear brake. Cool because that does make sense. The issue here though is the handling and braking throughout the turns (or before I should say). That "stiff" feeling of turning or tapping your stick to the right or left is still there. Instead of punishing the player for letting go of the left stick (turning control) too quickly, the rider slowly comes back to an upright position. Even if you're fooling around and tapping the stick left and right, it still has a choppy motion instead of a smooth movement.

I understand the player is flicking the stick but as I've said, the game should punish sloppy or quick movements that would break a trajectory. On top of that, the turning doesn't feel as rewarding as it should. In MotoGP 13, taking a turn at a high speed and keeping that lean was what made it epic. Here, it doesn't really feel like you're doing anything epic at all, just another turn so to speak. What I will give the game credit for though is coming out of a turn. This feels like it was done right especially with higher powered bikes. If the player begins to floor the gas (so to speak) the bike's rear tire will start spinning out of control and slowly start putting the player at risk. The effects of this are cool and do make for split second decisions in how to recover. Problem is even if you do sort of muck up, the rider will go through a small animation looking like he's falling then recover given you did your part. These animations feel stiff and don't move with the bike as well as are sort of misleading. The crashes in MotoGP 13 felt a lot better than they do here (according to my personal contrast)! I think the animations could have been more relative rather than putting the same one for every situation.

The graphics as I've mentioned are really good and the visuals and details on the bikes are quite excellent. Problem is games not only have to look good, they should also play well. The bike designs will make you stop for a moment and especially enjoy any modifications you've made to the bike (which can be seen). Then there are small things like nothing reflecting properly off the mirrors that could drive someone nuts. Some tracks it seems as though they put a repeating loop onto the mirrors. What is nice is that you'll see your player switching gears and letting go of the gas. The sounds are relatively good (not the best) but does give the player something different to listen to when switching bikes. Crash effects more or less sound the same and could have used a bit more diversity here (even though it's not the point of the game)! The music in-game is alright but I would argue the menus sound better.

So why MotoGP 13 over this game? I feel that overall the other game albeit doesn't have as many bikes as Ride, still provides for a better motorcycle simulation game than this. If they made Ride more of an arcade sort of racer and mixed some simulation points into the game, I feel it could have gone better. What is completely appalling is the fact there are SO MANY LOADING SCREENS! Why does it load to a confirmation screen to show my bike once I've already chosen which bike I want to use!? Makes no sense! If you want more diversity in bikes, you may like this game. I play MotoGP in first person when I race whereas here I find I'm stuck playing in 3rd due to things not feeling exactly right. The game does boast a nice career mode where the player can take part of many world tours with different sets of bikes. On top of that, the maps are pretty good and could give the MotoGP 13 maps a run for their money. Also, the game clips randomly for me sometimes (and have noticed others having the same problem). This can be disastrous in key moments. Additionally, the leader boards don't seem to work either.

I will recommend it but you'll definitely have to be a bike/race enthusiast to really enjoy it.

Probably one of my better screenshots

I'm sure this is considered showing off

I like to start in style

Uninstall and refund while you still can.

I'm so glad about finding these Milestone's motorbike simulators. Bought Valentino Rossi about a month ago, and now RIDE. I've always known about this sub genre of racing sims, but somehow playing with a gamepad felt so weird, without even trying it... my bad. Fortunately I finally tried it with VR demo. And suddenly realised the attraction of MC simulation. To me it's more relaxed when compared to race car games, having a bad habit of taking car simulators way too seriously. Plus that these bikes of Milestone are so good looking! You just got to love them! RIDE has variety of tracks and routes which I like too, you don't have to race on the same old motor circuits all the time. Minor bugs are meaningless, the overall gaming experience of Ride is so positive and strong. I simply love it! Waiting for more biking sims from Milestone in the future, keep the bar high and keep them coming!

Really really good! Excellent gameplay and very fun. Highly realistic and would recommend for any racing or motorcycle enthusiast.

Nice game and all, but god, i hope the engine sounds get an upgrade in RIDE 2

This game is horrible. With all of its bells and whistles (the gorgeous graphics and the- can't find anything else to praise), the AI is incredibly difficult (even on very easy difficulty setting), The bikes steer like, well, steer, Don't even get me started on the keyboard issue. I'm NOT buying a 30$ gamepad for a stupid game I bought for 5. I have 24 hours on this game and most likely, 20 of them were spent on races that were restarted again and again and again. Would I recommend this pile of cow dung? NO!

Refunded as it runs poorly, very few graphic options and the AI is very bland.

If i was a bigger fan of bikes i'd enjoy it, plenty of 2 wheel rides in the game and they're presented in a very forza-esque manner.
