I have the Android version of this game and the Windows 8 version runs like the Tegra 3 version, water spray-up and blurring turbo effects. I think the Windows 8 version has more challenging competitors than the Android version. Great job Vector Unit!!!

Runs great on Surface no lag even on high resolution. It would be awesome if it had multiplayer. If you want to change video audio and control setting slide from right and go to settings. Great game hope to see new features later on.

UPDATE (For those having trouble accessing gyro controls): The game defaults to touch controls. To use gyro, you must access the game settings via Charms menu. Not intuitive I know, but its there.
The frame rate is silky smooth on the Surface with graphics maxed out. Makes you wonder why other games are dropping frames. The control scheme is simple to grasp and doing tricks on big jumps is fun! Oh and the music is pretty cool too. This game is worth buying.

Works great with the xbox 360 controller, much fun.

Being one of the first significant games on the Windows Store, it shouldn't come as a big surprise that it's really just a polished version of the smartphone Riptide GP. Having that been said, it's still a satisfying game that's easy to pick up and play without having to concentrate too heavily on the screen, which, by extension, means there's little challenge. I'm having a couple bucks in fun, but it's yours to decide.

So far one of my favorite games on the Surface. Super smooth framerate and really great water effects! Plus playing on the keyboard the game controls perfect. Also works with Xbox360 controller for console like experience. Only negative is I wish it was a Xbox Live game for achievements but very small negative. Buy this game!

the game is super awesome and able to work with my Xbox 360 wireless gamepad on the Surface RT! as racing game fan, 2 bucks for endless racing fun is priceless! thank you vector unit!

there should be a free version..very slow on oldest netbook!

So if you're a previous iOS or android owner, you'd likely be aware that this game has been available for some time on other platforms. I am very glad the dev brought this to the windows 8 store. This game runs awesome on the surface RT. The controls come setup with touch controls, however, you can enable tilt controls from the menu. This is the first game I've used the tilt control with my RT, and it works great. Bring more games like this to RT, but this one is an awesome game on RT.

This comes off as a very shallow game. I highly recommend going for Hydro Thunder instead. Same style of game but far more content and action.

Very addictive! Love the graphics... looks like you'll get wet as you play. Fluid gameplay and water graphics: amazing! I would GLADLY pay for the next version of this one! PLEASE bring Riptide GP 2 to windows 8!
wat a mind blowing ,love it.............................................superb graphics.

Runs flawlessly with super action, but only able to steer via touch screen controls vs tilting the Surface. Disappointing.

This game is a great value for what you get. The graphics and water are gorgeous and the physics are very realistic. Playing on my tablet and having a blast. Everything runs very smoothly. The controls are excellent and there are a lot of options to customize to your liking on tablet, gamepad or keyboard.
The only thing I wish this game had was Xbox Live multiplayer, leaderboards, and achievements. For the price however it is a great deal.

Runs great on the Surface RT. Awesome graphics and a blast to play. These guys know how to make a great game.

Runs great!!! Makes me realize that developers are not taking the time to optimize apps for windows 8 RT.. This game shows that gaming can be done if effort is given... Best gaming showcase for windows 8 RT hands down!
6 November 2012
Really wish there was a trial version. Now, I'm stuck with a game that won't run... Hopefully, future patches will fix this, but who knows.
