  1. Due to great track design, 60 FPS, high res support and ability to go online the added benefits of RR6 cannot be ignored.

    It's the best Ridge Racer yet... If all you're looking for is a fast, fun, and highly replayable racer, you're getting a solid, full-featured package in Ridge Racer 6. But if you're looking for slightly more meat on the bone, "Project Gotham Racing 3" is a bit more filling.
  3. A solid arcade racer; perhaps the best that has been released on a console. But only you will know for sure if $60 is a worthy asking price for such a simple game.

    Ultimately, Ridge Racer 6 is a lame duck racer. It comes off as far too simplistic and far too easy to ever be of any fun.

    It's not the best RR ever, but it's not a bad game. It's fast, it's simple, it's funny. Old-school arcade racing on your 360, what more can you whant? Expand

    Ridge Racer has always been about simplistic gameplay, an arcade style which can stand on its own in a world with the burnout and the Gran Turismo. but in a wolrd with Project Gotham, I fail to see why this game has any reaosn to exist. The RR series has always welcomed the launching systems, with the majority of previous entries comign out as launch games for a specific system. This entry in the RR series is formidable, adding an addition of nitrous and of course the graphical superiority unseen in any other of its kind. But even though it is undeniably the most gorgeous RR game ever, it is quite underwhelming as a next gen title. more importabtly, the gameplay is quite fun. In the beginning it is an extremely challenging game, offering you a strong host of cars, only to be pummelled by the excellent rubberband AI. To wrap things up, Ridhe Racer is solid. it defines solid. The gameplay is fun in quick bursts, and the main "career esque mode can entrap a player for many many hours. 111 races later and you may seem fed up with racing games altogether. only the truly dedicated will return with every achievement, and RR has its fair share of difficulty to keep a busy player busy for a tad longer.

    Niche game.. The physics are ridiculous, and the races are repetitive.
