The game was originally announced in 2008 to release 2009 only to get cancelled early. I think Ian has a solid point, but to add, Eutechnyx's production was troubled from the beginning.
He concludes that fans really shouldn't be blaming Eutechnyx or their individual developers, as he is sure they knew there were problems with the game as it was being made, and were likely frustrated with it too. Ian then relates a similar experience he himself had with an unreleased game, working under Pyro Studios. Generally, Ian thinks Eutechnyx spread themselves too thin by tasking each developer to handle different aspects of the game at the same time, instead of handling each aspect to perfection one at a time. In application, the shooting is broken, the open world is considerably smaller than it looks, the cinematics are poorly made, and motorcycle combat has been reduced to a few lousy quick time events.
It has an open world, cover based shooting, motorcycle combat, and cinematics.
So, as most reviews of the game point out, you can actually see what Eutechnyx ideally had in mind with Ride to Hell. Playing the game themselves, they recognized Eutechnyx made mistakes in planning, scheduling and overall design. Ian explains that they can make this assessment of Ride to Hell since DarkSeas' developers themselves have worked with bigger studios in the past.
