I am a pretty big fan of racing games that take place on water. I am not really sure why that is to be honest, but I like them none the less. As a matter of fact, the first iOS title I downloaded was Aqua Moto 2, a very fun little Wave Race inspired title. Now I stumble across yet another aquatic racing game,  Riptide GP. This time the game has shades of another favorite  water racer of mine, Hydro Thunder. Oh, and of course it is free , for a limited time.  The game looks very nice with some  great looking water and backgrounds. It plays very much like an arcade style racer, which for me is a good thing. The music while not bad is a bit too techno for me, and it drowns out the sound effects which I would rater hear in the game. Gameplay is fun as you will race your way around futuristic looking locations taking jumps and taking risks by preforming various stunts. These risks are rewarded with boost to make you go even faster and help you win races.  The game is simple, nice looking and fun. The only thing I don’t like a lot  about the game is its gyroscopic controls. I just hate turning the screen dramatically during sharp turns because, you know, the screen is what I need to actually look at while playing. Luckily, the game controls decently with this method and I still enjoyed playing, but I will always prefer the more traditional form of controls. So, go check out this fun little racer, it wont be free for very long so get downloading. Check out some screens below and see you next time for more free iOS picks!
