I like the idea but it’s just kind of a mess. They added realism that they didn’t need, and made the driving feel both too floaty and weighty at the same time. Doesn’t feel like Ridge Racer, doesn’t really feel like anything.
Despite it being Ridge Racer with licensed cars and an actual story this game is criminally overlooked.
rena and that other chick are fine as hell but i aint feeling this one, feels like a worst-of-both-worlds type beat. feel like i would rather play proper ridge racer or a straight up racing sim over this.
I'm here for the booba and maybe for the cars
This game has so much potential. They did a good job with the Ace Combat-esque in-game commentary and rival dialogues, and the premise of the main campaign is solid enough. The game just misses pretty much almost every important aspect of a good racing game, and a good story campaign.
The car physics feel so slippery no matter what car you're driving, and the collision system barely have any meaningful audiovisual impact. It's like driving a tofu on a wet surface. It's just not very fun to drive any car in this game.
The main story campaign is incredibly barebones in terms of actual story content. None of the characters are actually given chances to be actual characters instead of just a draft idea. It feels so impersonal, as if you're just watching the cliffnotes version of the story. It's like they're doing this on a shoestring budget. Ridge Racer Type 4, this is not.
The soundtrack is great, its definitely worthy of being a Ridge Racer game soundtrack. I also like the visual style of the menus and UI and such. A lot of the track environments look great too, especially the non-circuit tracks. That's all the positive feedback I can give for this game.

Why did he force me to place second, again?
