The perfect antidote to PGR3

User Rating: 8.2 | Ridge Racer 6 X360
By adesics | Review Date:
For me, RR6 feels like a souped up Playstation game, which is good. The 360 needs more Japanese input in my opinion. I've got kind of bogged down in PGR3 which is an amazing game, but sometimes you just want to drive like a tart around some ultra modern Japanesey geography and not have to worry about crash barriers and corners and er... those stoppy things that um... slow you down. Sweeping city fly-overs in between skyscrapers that go up for ever and neon lit tunnels remind me of the best times in the old Playstation Ridge's. The atmosphere is certainly there.

I spent two hours solid last night with the game after I realised that you dont necessarily have to steer right at a right-hand bend. If you decide to steer left instead, it's all good. Just make sure you start sliding and the game will automaitcally whip you round the corner whilst you are spinning in the opposite direction, like some kind of crazy fairground ride. It's a sight to behold. It wont do much for you nitrous points or you lap time but its so much bloody fun you'll never want to go back to 'normal' cornering again. Well, I found it difficult to.

Frustrated with PGR3? Throw physics and logic out of the window and try something fun and exhilarating. It's a racer, not a sim.

    It only took me about 2 races to get used to the controls and after that it was all gravy. I have to say that the Basic Routes are pretty easy. All the other routes were medium except for two races. I think one was o... Read Full Review
