Pack your boots and let’s ride city with City Rider! This game makes you the driver in a city which is fully open where you can drive across within both small and large vehicles. Regardless of whether you are driving a car in the city, spinning around the turns, or soaring at high speeds along the straight line, it is all about liberation and mastery.
You begin with a simple car, but as you progress and roam around the city, you’ll get a better ride, from sports models, to bulky muscle cars. The city owns the streets, wide and spacious, some narrow alleys and sneaky paths to explore. It is just about as much fun as one can get when trying to test your ride to the limit.
Handling is well developed and fully adjustable, letting the driver have full control over the speed, deceleration, and direction. Whether you’re pottering around a junction or cruising at high speed on a motorway, the car responds enthusiastically and every model is different. They are going to have to learn all the ins and outs of each vehicle in order to own the roads.
In terms of its sensory characteristics the city is clearly vivid and pulsing with life. Be it at nighttime when the city is lit up like a Christmas tree, or during the day where the traffic lights dominate the scene, graphics make you feel like you are playing amidst an urban jungle. There are different districts, so the environment is different as you progress through the game, which is quite good.
I enjoyed hooning around the streets, testing different cars and really just getting to know the city inside out. That said, if you like high freedom open world driving games, City Rider should suit you well. Accelerators, speed and full throttle to enjoy the city as no one did before!
