The front seats are eight-way adjustable, and have lumbar support and memory settings for different drivers.

And indeed, the Platinum offers much in the way of comfort for drivers and passengers alike. Pavement is its true home, and that’s where it shines with its emphasis on a quiet and cozy cabin. With modest off-road capabilities, the seven-passenger Highlander is made for, at worst, a little gravel on the way to the cottage. Now in its fourth generation, the 2023 Highlander has been refreshed with a new engine and an updated top-of-the-line Platinum model for travellers who want optimum comfort on those long vacation drives. Toyota’s three-row SUV has been a family favourite since it made its debut in 2001. Motorcycle games are light on the ground though and I’d have no hesitation in recommending Ride 4 to those in search of some two wheeled fun.Please log in to bookmark this story. I think my motorsports fix is now definitely found in the form of open world games like Forza Horizon. Passionate motorsport enthusiasts will be straight in but those less affected by petrol fumes will struggle to stay engaged with Ride 4’s difficulty. There are plenty of tracks, bikes, and gear to entice those who are drawn in, that’s for sure. Ride 4 doesn’t hold your hand, but it also doesn’t offer to help you up if you fall too often either. It is hard to judge something when it is mainly my ability, or lack of, that is the concern.

Will be interesting to see what the Series X/PS5 does to alleviate these. Load times are a pain, especially in the forced restart races. Add to the mix dynamic weather to mix things up and you really do have some lovely eye candy. Even the visuals are Forza-esque, and that is a great thing. Ride 4 takes that tried and true formula and applies it to the world of motorcycles. Forza Motorsports has long been a leader in the racing genre. And if you are going to imitate something, why not the best, sans a couple of wheels. The frustration vs reward is is way to skewed to frustration for a new or casual gamer.Īs the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Makes Career Mode really unattractive to me. Still not a fan of the clean lap under a certain time to progress. But just being able to get around in your own time was nice. I my case gravel, dirt, and piles of tyres were frequently involved.
Thankfully the Quick Race option drops you right into the thick of it, with no restriction to which way you want to travel. Slowly I got use to the controls and bike handling. But with every setting adjusted to my favour still didn’t help. Oh, and Career Mode just ramps up the difficulty by not just invalidating your lap if you touch the dirt but making you restart the race!Īccepting that I am really bad on two wheels was a start. I finally got the lap done but the experience soured the whole game going forward. Rage quitting isn’t my style but it happened here, several times. For me to get a clean lap my times were way too slow. During this test lap, even the slightest deviation of the track will invalidate your lap. The Intro/Tutorial requires you to complete a clean test lap in under a set time to even progress to the actual Main Menu. But Ride 4 has tested my patience to a whole new level. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy them as shown by my hours in the likes of the Forza Series. Ok, so first of all I’m not a great talent when it comes to racing games. So the time is here to dress in tight leather and stick some high powered machinery between my legs. And the Ride Series has been cruising along since 2015 for just that purpose. I prefer to take to two wheels in a safer manner, from the comfort of the couch. Cue all the fair weather motorcycle riders dusting off their leathers.
