Ridge Racer Unbounded might not be the Ridge Racer game your dad played back in his day, but don't let the name fool you. It's dark and dirty visual style is second only to the dirty and explosive racing action that awaits when you strap in behind the wheel of this addictive arcade racer where the only limit to your fun is your imagination.
The Finns sure know how to make a crash-and-burn driving game. Bugbear has transformed the Ridge Racer franchise in to a whole new level. This game has attitude. [May 2012]
If you've grown tired of having your hand held through tutorial after tutorial, and incredibly easy arcade racers, the challenge offered by Unbounded is sure to appeal to you. I've definitely found myself enjoying this title a lot more than I would have anticipated, and urge racing fans to check it out.
For fans of flatout it is a perfect game ! Game is well optimized , for fact that it has so awesome graphic. It isjust good and funy arcade. i would recomended to all flatout players :)
Absolutley exhilarating! Fast, furious and total chaos at times, the music is fantastic and the graphics and effects are superb. It can occasionally be frustrating when the enemy AI is aggressive, but if you choose the right car you can usually avoid this - the cars with poor handling are easily knocked off course, and it pays to use a car with a little less speed/acceleration but better handling and strength! But brill game, if you liked NFS: Most Wanted then you'll like this: It doesn't have a massive amount in common in terms of gameplay mechanics but the rush from playing is similar. Don't hold back: buy this!!
Ridge Racer Unbounded is decent.
The cars handle **** build up a power meter to boost,which can allow you to destroy a building to take a shortcut or to wreck a **** AI is very cheap,and one mistake nearly always costs you the race,which is very frustrating.
The game's framerate stays stable at all times,and the game looks gorgeous.
The sound efffects and soundtrack are poor though.
Like I said before,Ridge Racer Unbounded is decent,but frustrating.
I don't think this is ridge racer anymore. It feels more like a Burnout wannabe. I mean who would want to take the gameplay that made up the series and turn it into this?
Alors voyons, un Ridger Racer ça ne donne déjà pas envie à la base mais un Ridger Racer développé par Bugbear, le développeur de troisième zone des Flatout, ça fait fuir ! ici il s'agit d'un mélange maladroit entre un Burnout Revenge (un peu) et un Split Second (beaucoup) et la soupe servie est assez pitoyable.
Il faut appuyer sur un bouton pour **** (!) afin de récupérer des points avec lesquels on peut réaliser une action : faire un takedown ou détruire un élément du décor de la ville. On est très loin de la folie et la prise en main d'un Burnout Revenge (parfois délicate pourtant) avec des dérapages très brusques et difficilement contrôlables. La moindre erreur et la course est d'ores et déjà perdue, la faute à une IA qu'on ne peut **** (tout le contraire de Burnout toujours en catch up pour soi comme pour l'IA).
Quant au principe, il ne privilégie pas une manoeuvre permettant de bourrer un concurrent dans le mur, c'est-à-dire le "pilotage" (entre guillemets...) mais une gestion des dérapages (ingérables) et du moment où l'on choisira de faire un takedown sur un concurrent ou une brèche dans la ville pour ouvrir un raccourci, juste en appuyant sur un bouton. Principe nul et non avenu.
Graphiquement ça ne casse pas des briques (pour rester poli) mais si le jeu est fluide, les courses se passent trop souvent la nuit ou au soleil couchant (ou levant plutôt dans ce cas) sans doute pour cacher la misère des graphismes. Voilà donc une nouvelle daube qui perpétue la longue tradition daubée des Ridge Racer qui se sont toujours complus dans ce marécage vidéo-ludique.
