This makes your already rigor-mortised left hand shrivel up into something resembling my grandmother's dried flower arrangements. When on-bike combat happens (you will know because a bike pulls up exactly beside you), your ability to steer the bike is removed, and the game begs of you to unimaginatively tap R and E until a bar fills up and you hit the guy.
Your left hand is braced in a claw position I like to call the 'Bruce Campbell', in that you will quickly wish your hand had just been sliced off instead of experiencing the strain injury that is currently coursing through it. All the grunt work is done by your left hand, where in the dullest bike race sections of all time you lean on A and D to steer, space to accelerate and shift to 'powerslide' under obstacles. It actually physically hurts doing the racing sections in this game on the PC. "That'll teach you." And then you explode. "There," it says, looking down at you smugly. Imagine if you ran a red light in real life and then your bicycle suddenly, slowly drove itself into a hedge on your behalf. Miss a jump or an objective too many times and - this is my favourite part - your control is promptly removed, and the game has you wait while your bike very slowly veers off the side of the road, gently bumps into a fence, and then a few seconds later you explode to death. On-bike fights are laborious button-tapping affairs.
And this is a game about a man whose job, in this video game, is to ride a motorbike.ĭiscreet sections of Ride to Hell, a linear, supposedly story-led game, require that you must race a motorbike along a flickering road like a smartphone racing app where the road scrolls and you merely slide left and right to avoid obstacles. I'm not quite sure how a fatter, good-eyed Snake Plissken got in this 60s biker gif slideshow, but his name is Jake and he's turned up and it is really difficult to get him to ride a motorbike.
