Ridge Racer 6 is definately fun the as you progress through the races and the excitement of hitting the triple nitrous on the straightaway to barely become victorious is a fulfilling feeling, but the game becomes a bit repetitive after you easily win the first 50 races. Few races in the basic route are all that challenging, and the goal of winning in all the cars or clearing the areas becomes more of a task than a source of entertainment. I felt as if I needed to clear the areas because i would miss out on something important but I was disappointed at some of the rewards. Some of the cars served absolutely no purpose to me because the drifting system for them was too sensitive, but that is my own perception and applies to my technique. The cars also are not all that unique as all have the same body and either have different colors or sponsors or slightly different body work in the higher classes.
When the later levels are finally unlocked the game becomes much more of a challenge as a race requires the driver to make few mistakes to emerge the winner. The special car types are pretty cool to use and adds another element to the game, and can be very difficult at points.
The multiplayer levels i found too challenging too effectively race my opponent because the screen was too small to handle the inclines which caused many bumps into the wall. Not having other players in the mix did not do justice to the game either, as the rush of passing multiple cars disappeared.
I thought Ridge Racer was good clean fun, but the overall feeling was that I didn't accomplish much, but the online option adds a whole other world to the game as opponents who are human are much more fun to race.
