www.netbooknews.com From the creators of Xbox 360’s Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Riptide GP is born. Exclusively for NVIDIA Tegra 2 phones and tablets, Vector Unit has created the first ever console-quality water racing game built from the ground up. Start up your super charged jet ski and take off the starting line in full throttle racing through rivers, canals, ominous research facilities, and future city landscapes. Use a variety of skill sets from stunts to speed as these are the only way to plow through the competition. Fly through the air encouraged by massive waves and use your high skill set tricks to boost your machine through the finish line. Riptide GP has a way of putting the jet in jet ski. This is an incredible fast paced game and can be difficult to handle. Riptide GP is definitely for the average gamer. One would have a blast if they were to pick it up and play with little knowledge of tablet gaming. The water physics are very realistic but not to a “T”, and the control of the jet ski is gyro enabled, making it hard to handle but easily mastered with practice. The details of the race and the experience are successfully complimented by ambient and effective racing sound. It is available on the Tegra Gaming Zone application and the Android Market place for .99. This price feels a little heavy, but because it is a full-length game it can be factored into the features provided in the users experience.
