Hey Xoomers! The developer of Riptide just contacted me to confirm that the game will be out today! It looks to really take advantage of Tegra and will be well worth the 6.99 purchase. Future games will come to Android but sales do matter, so hit that BUY NOW button tomorrow and show those Ipad owners what Xoom n Tetra can do!!
Also a first day purchase for me as well. I'm looking forward to this release. Thanks for the headsup!

Bangs been upgraded...have to wait till i get home to try new controls
This needs touch screen controls, I don't like having to tilt my xoom 90 degrees or more to turn. Touch screen would be more accurate too.

I know. It now has controls but this one has no on screen controls. Strictly accelerometer.
Lovin it! Gives me my hydro thunder fix on the go. Accelerometer makes sense asyou need your fingers to perform stunts and give boost.
I'm really enjoying this game, I also think the controls work well over all, I find myself needing to tap the break to get past the tight turns when coming in at high speed, also to hit the boost button and to do tricks. the tilt controls work better than most games i've played, you don't have to do full right angle turns of the device or anything. really enjoying it, I think it's one of the best games i've played on the xoom, also has good graphics and nice water physics.

Well, it's definitely got the horsepower to drive anything on the Market. I have an SGS, but for driving games Asphalt and NFS look and perform great. I have NOVA from Gameloft, a FPS--also runs and looks great. One of my faves is Minisquadron, which isn't graphically awesome, but nice arcade action.

Our beloved Viewsonic Gtab will be the best Android platform for this game by far, anyone else excited?
Did I mention this will have an online multiplayer mode, also the first game for Android to use the Unreal Engine.

I've been waiting for this release, looks like it is going to be awesome. And like you said, they say tegra 2 is the best platform.
but will it work for our tablet? i know a lot of games have not been working for the tab but is it because we are using tegra2 or because developers just don't recognize our tablet?

With the markets new refund policy.. it'll be past my 15 minute return time before i get it all downloaded and tested.
Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!
Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.
I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....
Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.
Hey Xoomers, Bang Bang racing is now in the Tegra zone market....enjoy!!! They originally told me it'll be out next week, better now than later!!
UPDATE: The developer has listened to our comments an will add new control options in a future update to the game, resembling the controls like Reckless Racing! The current controls are not bad once you get used to them...love the graphics though
Its in Tegra Appstore now but no link in market. Hopefully its up soon.

Doesn't have any multiplayer option. For 7.99 it should have multiplayer
Is it good?
This will probably be my first purchase from Market. Yesterday Google finally enabled paid apps for 99 more countries, including the country where I live.
I bought the game about an hour ago. I am not a fan of the control system. I was hoping it would grow on me but after an hour it still isn't great. I hope they incorporate something better in an update.

What are the controls like? Tilt/Sensor or touchscreen?
[edit] decided to give it a go, dissapointing for £4.90, refunded it The control system is odd, dragging my finger in front of the car to dictate where it should go, at the same time obscuring my own view, isn't fun :/

Agreed, I bought Reckless Racing on my Desire, didn't run too well until I traded it in for the Incredible S, yet to try it on my Xoom. Perhaps I should just stick with that
That's really disappointing I was really looking forward to this game. Is there anyway to use a controller wii or zmote?

Cool, I'll wait till then
Got this... doesn't really disappoint. The control scheme as-is (luckily there's a more traditional one coming) isn't half bad, but takes a lot to get used to.
There's no practice mode though. I ended up using Time Trial as my practice. Not a bad start.
I bought it, played for 5 minutes and gave up in disgust at the controls. But, I figured that I'd let them keep the eight bucks rather than take the refund since I want to support people that make games for the Xoom.
Played it again later for about 20 minutes and started to get the hang of the controls. At this point I was having fun even though the controls were still frustrating, so I decided to run down to Best Buy and spend $20 on a stylus. The controls are WAY better with the stylus keeping my big hands out of the way and preventing my hands from getting sweaty so that they stick to the screen.
Love the game now. As an added benefit, the stylus is pretty cool in its own right and now I'm awesome at Fruit Ninja, too.

I remember one day I was digging throug emuparadise and seen they had a android games section well it happens to be that a cracked version of mc is on there. I can open it on my droid navigate menus and such but when I open the game it gives me about 10 seconds to move then the phone freezes. I think if someone knew how to edit the file just a slight bit it would work. Also a six axis controller app is required.
I reeeeeeeeally hope we can play it on our phones.

I can't wait for this app to come out for everyone else. I saw someone playing it on their Xperia Play phone last week and it looks quite awesome. It's not as fully featured as the desktop version of Minecraft of course, but it's still got enough to it to make it worth it in my opinion.
