Simply, it sets video games back as a medium by who knows how many years, and we’re going to be in deep trouble if mainstream media gets a hold of this game. With clothes on, awkward sound effects but rather graphic animations. This cutscene, in both cases, is watching Jake have sex with the woman you’ve just met and, in the case of the first example, didn’t even bother to identify by name. You and the ex-wife then go inside, just as the man is still lying out front, and a cutscene follows. In another example, you help a woman get her wedding ring back from the ex-husband, who you also beat up in front of his house. You beat up the guy, and a cutscene follows. Here are just two early game examples: you see a woman, presumably a prostitute, being harassed in a parking lot. What’s less stellar is the game’s systematic objectification of any and all women that appear. Things are undoubtedly made worse by terrible voice acting and writing.īut that is all forgivable and forgettable (unless you paid full price are a currently ripping your hair out). What follows is a barebones plot that fails to connect on any level, and reads like a very basic storybook, except with violence and cursing. Having come, he witnesses a gang-related murder of his brother by a rival biker gang, and swears vengeance. Most of these details are skimmed over in favour of opening scenes that make absolutely no sense. Ride to Hell: Retribution takes place in 1969, telling the story of Jake, a veteran and member of a family of bikers.
Ride to Hell: Retribution is a game that defies all expectations of how utterly poor an experience can be, and is easily one of the worst retail-released titles in many, many years. I never quite understood the reasoning behind that last one, but I guess some folks do have a good time watching a train wreck. Some games are bad because they were poorly designed, have tons of technical issues, or are just plain uninspired and derivative. It carries a $30 price tag and anyone who actually buys this at full price (or at all, as a self-respecting individual) after reading this, deserves the suffering you’re going to get. It’s low budget, crude bordering on offensive, boring, linear, and many other negative things.
In this case, Ride to Hell: Retribution is the title in question, and one that is memorable for all the wrong reasons. It’s not often that this sort of thing happens, and it usually means that the game has left quite an impression. I actually started writing this review with the concluding paragraph.
