If you are interested in an all out bore-fest, than by all means pick up your copy of Ridge Racer 6 today!
The gameplay is downright awful and that is the easiest way to explain it. It is unbelievably boring and extremely tedious. The physics are terrible and there is no excuse for that in this next generation of gaming. If you run into a wall, your car will sort of bump backwards and glitch into it until you can successfully turn away from it. In the process your vehicle will slow down. Where are the fireworks, glassbreaking, and paint scraping that should be here? The drifting gets old way too fast and that's a shame since that is the entire gimmick to this game. It is way too easy to corner around turns since if you drift you will automatically stay in the same spot all around the turn. Nothing was done right in the gameplay section.
The graphics are not next-gen, but they aren't terrible either. They are just decent. The sound though is terrible. It does nothing well and has an annoying announcer to add to the pain of the gameplay.
There is a lot to do in this game, but the problem is that you won't want to do it. There are plenty of tracks but the game is so downright boring you won't want to even finish 5 of them. I tried to like this game, but it just flat out isn't a good game. If you must have a somewhat satisfying arcade racer for the 360, pick up Need For Speed: Most Wanted instead. Ridge Racer 6 will only provide one of the most boring gaming experiences ever.
Stay away from Ridge Racer 6. This game is not worth a purchase. This game is not worth a rent. This game doesn't even deserve a glance at in a gaming store. Even if you were given a copy of this game and wanted to trade it in for store credit, you may not even want to do that. It would just be too embarassing to be seen with this game in your hands. Stay away from this game and you will be happy. I cannot stress this enough. Block it out of your brain or whatever it is that you have to do. Just don't even come near it and all will be well.
