Ridge Racer 6 doesn't leave its root as it still has solid drifting gameplay and single player campaign.

User Rating: 8.6 | Ridge Racer 6 X360
I've been playing Ridge Racer ever since it launched on PS1. Ridge racer 6 main selling point is the addictive drifting as its easy to pick up but hard to master. Also the nitrous function adds depth and strategy as you try to get the most of it everytime. The game also supports up to 14 players online which is a blast because most of the time there is little to none lag. You will also meet a wide variety of people as Japanese players populate the online so make sure your friendly :)

Overall if your a fan of Ridge Racer, then you should definately pick this up
