   RR6 is a fantastic game. This is as close to a kart racer as it's gonna get on the 360 (Pocketbike Racer doesn't count). The graphics are absolutely stellar, and the gameplay is top notch.… Expand

   This game came out right around the time the series was making its turning point into what it is today. I would argue for the worst but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying entries in the later half of the franchise's life. The problem with this game, is that it just FEELS rushed. And indeed, if you play the Playstation 3 version (Ridge Racer 7) you will see that the tracks feel much more lively. One instance that sticks out to me in particular is in Ridge Racer 6 when you are driving down a bland tunnel. Nothing spectacular, just brown walls. But in Ridge Racer 7 there are lights and all kinds of neat effects around you. Even without this knowledge though, the game feels hastily put together, the bare bones interface, the lack of any... thing really. You have intro and ending movies, and menus to select races, and that is about the extent of it. Also, the movies do not have the personality or originality of past cutscenes in the series, even the attraction mode on the arcade cabinets is better. Another complaint I have is the blatantly cheating artificial intelligence opponents in the hidden races. Giving your opponents infinite nitrous is not fair in the least. Eventually I was able to 100% the entire “World Xplorerâ€� mode and unlock everything, but I would never claim it was due to any sort of skill, just getting lucky while the infinite nitrous cars pushed me across the finish line. The game controls well, but if you are used to the classic Ridge Racer way of doing things you will be confused as hell because the cars basically go around corners for you sometimes. Whereas in past games if you **** up your drift you hit a wall and more than likely lost, in this game, generally (not always) if you are sliding in some capacity, your car will find its way around a corner. Most importantly though, the game is fun. I spent a lot of time trying to complete everything, and I am generally not a person who has the patience for that. Even now I still play it a little occasionally. I couldn't give a game I had had this much fun with a bad score, regardless of shortcomings.… Expand

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