A crappy port of a N64 game.

User Rating: 6.3 | Ridge Racer DS DS
By shadow_mirage | Review Date:
Ridge Racer DS. This could have been great if they actually tried to use the DS's capabilities instead of porting it from the N64. But we get a poor version for a rushed launch. Here's the lackluster review.

Gameplay: 5/10 - Clunky and out-dated. Even the touch screen control is better.

Graphics: 7/10 - For a launch title this game has mediocre graphics. If namco actually tried, they could have had a much better game on their hands.

Sound: 8/10 - One of the best things about this game is it's sound. That's not saying much.

Value: 8/10 - Unlocking all the cars and multiplayer should keep you busy for a while, if you're still playing it for that long.

Tilt: 6/10 - A sad excuse of a game. Namco wanted some quick cash and got what they wanted.
