Ridge Racer 7 (PS3)

I got this game with the ps3 at launch and was not impressed by the game! With poor life like experiences and poor choice of cars this game really wasn't worth the money. If you want a realistic racing game it is not worth it as when you crash into a car there is no sign of the car being damaged unlike games like motorstorm where the damaged cars look very good. Pretty poor from a 3rd generation console! There is a poor choice of cars and there all practically the same cars anyway just diffrent colours. There is not much diffrence in speed in the cars either there all around the same kind of speed. The steering is to easy when you get the ...  Read the complete review

What rubbish! I ordered my PS3 with Ridge Racer and Lair, I rushed to the door, set up the PS3, put in ridge racer and the smile of excitment was wiped from my face ... I would be disappointed to have played this in an arcade. It features a small selection of cars which dont actually exist and look terrible, when i got to driving the cars i found that the game wanted me to drift around each corner - No not turn ... drift! If you do try to turn your way around a corner, the car remains in a straight line and hits the wall - bouncing off it and hitting it again (much like early PS1 games). Its only redeeming feature is the online play which functions well .. but still ...  Read the complete review

I bought ridge racer 7 with my PS3 as I from previous experience ridge racer has been a great game. After setting up the PS3 and placed ridge racer in and was excited to play. Started playing and came to realise that this is not like the old games, everything has been changed and I hated it. You no longer drive normally you have to use drift to turn, if I wanted a drifting game then I would have bought one but not ridge racer. The game has a crazy thing about slip streaming! The graphics in the game are not bad and the sound is also good, but it is the game play where it has all been let down. One good thing about the game is that you ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased this game for only £5 from Ebay. Upon booting Ridge Racer 7, everything looks familiar for anyone who has played a Ridge Racer game before. Having played Ridge Racer 6 for the XBOX 360, the graphics and layout of the game for Ridge Racer 7 look very similar. In this sense Ridge Racer 7 is not really an upgrade to the previous game, just a slightly tweaked game. RR7 has the usual gameplay modes including, arcade, trial, online and the grandprix quest modes whereby you enter races, win prize money and use the funds to tune up your car for better parts. As with any Ridge Racer game I have ever played, the beginning is very slow as you race with very ...  Read the complete review

I have played Ridge Racer on other platforms in the past such as on the PSP and have always been a fan of its arcade style gaming. It is predominantly a racing game that specialises in 'Drifitng'. The game was released in November 2006 and I got this supplied with my PS3 so I did not really know what to expect. The game is quick to start-up and when it is fully started you will notice the graphics. They really were fantastic and it for me made me feel as though I made a great choice by buying the PS3. The cars really do look very realistic and so do the courses, this was a big improvement from the other versions of the game. There is 40 cars ...  Read the complete review
