“RETROWAVE 2, is exactly what a sequel should be. It does not mess with the original Retrowave formula and only adds small but great additions. The graphics and soundtrack got a huge bump uo with new beautiful maps and…”

“I enjoyed it but it's not as good as the first one. There were some crashes and the first one had better interface and steering. Save the $5 and get the first Retro Wave.”

“в целом неплохо на фоне первой игры, хотя-бы музыку можно без длс менять, но тут ван смолл ишью, а именно: баги в кастоме, где-то предметы не покупаются вне зависимости от баланса игрока, где-то обвес слетает через 2…”
