After about 6 demoralising hours of failed attempts where we called Ride 4 every name under the sun, refused to play anymore and at some point started drinking we finally made earned our license and could race!

Yep once you pass the admission test you then have a series of license task to do in order to earn the right to race. What was his reward for doing so? A fucking license test! Even with his wealth of racing knowledge and his expertise at Formula 1 games he struggled for an hour until he finally got passed the first lap. This isn’t simply a case of me being bad at Ride 4 ( I have already I suck at driving games) but I even brought in our resident racing game reviewer Marc Smith. Honestly Ride 4 has got to be the strictest and most infuriating game I have ever played. I have no idea if the time required is easy or unobtainable because the instant your back tire touches a single blade of grass your lap is invalid. Which by the way is quite simply complete a lap within a set time. Yep, that right I couldn’t get past the very first test. I would love to tell you how the career plays out, how enjoyable, innovative and immersive it is but I can’t because I couldn’t get anywhere in it. Three championships set in Europe, America and Asia before moving on to the World league and Final League. The career mode in Ride 4 seems quite extensive. Brands like BMW, Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha etc as well as over 30 tracks including some legendary settings such as Brands Hatch, Donnington and Laguna Seca. There are over 170 different bikes from 17 different manufactures.

For the purpose of this review, we will feature on the career mode. Game ModesĪs with any modern-day racing sim, Ride 4 comes with a slew of game modes including single race, career, endurance and multiplayer (which I haven’t tried due to servers not been live before release). But I nobly soldiered on and ploughed hours into Ride 4 so that I could bring you dear reader my deep and insightful opinion. Honestly, I think the last time I was any good at a bike racing game was Road Rash back on the Megadrive…and some of my friends would say that is debatable. Now add the fact the Ride 4 is a Superbike racing game and this review gets a hell of a lot more difficult. Anyone who has watched me play Wreckfest, Snowrunner, Grid etc on Twitch will happily attest to this. I am crap at driving games and even worse at racing games. Let’s get one thing clear right from the start.
