Riptide GP2 Walkthrough [Guide]

It’s time to rev up your engines again and embark on some water-filled excitement with Riptide GP2. This racing game promises wicked stunts – as well as some adrenaline pumping action – as players’ race against time as well as with each other in various modes. Only the fastest and best racers will move forward and be worthy of first place, and the improved graphics and environments will certainly add onto the realistic atmosphere of this title.

Gameplay
Riptide GP2 is a racing game where players can control various hydrojets as they race against both AI and online players in modes that will require them to finish the race in the fastest time possible. Game modes include the generic racing model, while another mode will eliminate the racer in last place at the end of specific time intervals. Rewards earned can be used to learn new stunts as well as purchase and upgrade hydrojets for better racing action.

Racing is pretty much automated when it comes to acceleration. Players can move to the left or right of the track through tilting or through touch controls, the settings of which can be changed depending on user preferences. Brakes are located at either side of the bottom of the screen, and boosts can also be used to rush forward for a limited amount of time. Boosts, in turn, can be refilled by performing stunts which could be done when jumping off ramps located all throughout the track. The more varying your stunts, the better, as repeating the same stunts would affect the boosts that you earn.

Currency
Currency in the game is awarded by participating in races. The higher your ranking, the more coins you will earn. This, in turn, can be used to purchase new hydrojets as well as upgrade stats of existing vehicles such as speed, handling, and boosts.

Stunts
Stunts are an important aspect of Riptide GP2, as this is the only way to refill your boost meter. Stunts are performed by swiping at the screen, the combinations of which are available on the menu when you pause the game. Additional skills can be learned by using skill points, which are awarded whenever players level up. The higher the level, the more skills would be made available for purchase.

Some skills, especially higher level ones that require multiple swiping gestures, however, cannot be accomplished by jumps off ramps at regular speeds. For this, you will need to use your boost meter to hang in the air longer, and successfully performing a stunt will reward you with an even longer boost period than when you began.

Store
The store is where players can make upgrades to their hydrojets. Attributes like handling, acceleration, speed, and boosts, can be increasing by spending currency. However, hydrojets can only be upgraded so much before they max out, so it is recommended that players also save their money to buy better hydrojets. It is also here that players are able to purchase modifications for their hydrojets for a more personalized look.

Stars
Stars are a very important resource in the game. Stars are earned per track depending on how well they performed. The next circuit will be unlocked only once the specified amount of stars are collected, which is why it is important to repeat tracks where not all stars have been collected yet. Also, this is a great way to earn extra cash and XP that can be used to make upgrades as well as learn new skills.

Social Function
Riptide GP2 also has a social function where players can participate in races and compete with other players online. Up to four players can race simultaneously, with the player finishing first place getting the biggest rewards.
