The main levels generally consist of a mixture of third-person, cover-based shooter and beat-’em-up gameplay. Combat can also occur in these segments, consisting of quick-time event melee attacks, shooting from a sidecar while an AI companion drives, or getting close enough to allow an AI companion to shoot. Impacts and collisions lead to either a checkpoint reset (the screen fades and the player is sent backwards to the last clear stretch of road) or death. The game’s levels generally begin with a motorcycle driving segment in which only forward movement is allowed and obstacles must be avoided by using ramps and powerslides. The player controls Jake Conway from a third-person perspective. Critics condemned its broken and repetitive gameplay, poor controls, dated graphics, writing, poor voice acting, poor artificial intelligence, awkward sex scenes, offensive portrayal of women, numerous technical issues, and the developers cutting the originally planned open-world concept in favor of a linear layout.

Ride to Hell was critically panned upon release and is now considered one of the worst video games ever made. Stuck in development hell, developer Eutechnyx continued to develop it until its re-announcement five years later in 2013 dropping the open-world format in favor of a linear action game with combat and vehicle sections. Ride to Hell was originally announced in 2008 and was conceived as an open world game.

It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Ride to Hell Retribution is an action adventure game developed by Eutechnyx and published by Deep Silver.
