I didn't expect much out of this game....PGR3 didn't come out for the Japanese 360 at the same time, and the reviews on the internet all gave RR6 low scores. But after playing this game for over 98 hours and counting now, I'll say that this is the best arcade racing game I've ever played. Did you ever dream of actually taking one of those arcade units at home...we gamers have always had to settle with ports of arcade games that look nothing like the originals. RR6 for me epitomizes THAT MOMENT when finally games for the console are finally as good, if not BETTER than their quarter munching counterparts!

As beautiful as the graphics are for this game (which stays at 60 FPS even with 14 online cars on track all at once!!), it's the gameplay that I love about this game. It's much deeper than it seems and there's a lot of strategy to each 3 lap race that you do, especially online.

I admit that PGR3 is definitely superior in the graphics department, but in my opinion RR6 wins hands down in gameplay and fun! At least give it a rent and try it for more than ten minutes...it will get you hooked. If the cars seem very slow on class 1...don't worry, they get much much faster especially by class 3 and 4. Online the competition is great, no single car dominates the races...skill is really needed to win.

Great game!!!!

    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
