ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Riptide GP2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riptide GP2 has 7.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Riptide GP2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Police Boat Chase Racing Drift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
