Test Chamber – Riptide GP2
Riptide GP2 is a sequel to a popular mobile game that has graduated to Xbox One, and we decided to see how it fares on its new platform.
Join me, Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, and renowned water-physics expert Ben Reeves as we jump on our wave runners and ride. First impressions recall the Nintendo 64 launch title Wave Race 64 mostly because the two are both wave-runner racing games, but the futuristic tracks also recall games like Wipeout or F-Zero. In the video below you will see a full-screen race, and a few four-player split-screen races – a rare occurrence these days. The game actually support up to six, which is even rarer.
Riptide GP2 is available now on Xbox One for $4.99.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
