Riptide GP2

Riptide GP2 is a modern water-racing game in which you rev up a rocket-powered hydro jet and rip across a dynamic, ever-changing torrent of waves. It races through futuristic cityscapes, twisting canals and rivers, open harbors and mysterious research facilities, hurling you off sky-high jumps for death-defying stunts. It comes from Vector Unit, the developers of Hydro Thunder Hurricane.

The heart of the game is a deep single-player career mode spanning over 60 Race, Hot Lap, Elimination and Freestyle events. You collect and upgrade 10 powerful watercraft, tuning their performance and paint schemes, while a thrilling stunt system lets you level up your rider and unlock 25 outrageous stunts that wow the crowd and charge your boost.

Beyond the career, you can take your skills into fierce online multiplayer against the world's best, trade elbows with friends in two-, three- or four-player split-screen races, or race virtual recordings of your Steam friends' best runs in VR Challenge mode. Full controller integration and cloud sync round it out.
