Being a pretty big Ridge Racer fan back in the day, i was very skeptical of this one. But as it turns out it ain't bad, but it ain't Ridge Racer. Lemme break it down:
The Good:
-Track Editor: Its become the norm in GOOD racing games nowadays and this one is no different, with the tile style Basic Editor to the item heavy Advanced Editor, you can make the city based track of your dreams.
-Destruction: Since this game is made by the car destruction geniuses Bugbear(of FlatOut fame), you know you're gonna get some carnage, plus the Split/Second style environmental destruction makes for an awesome experience.
-Multiplayer, Lots of modes, most of them EXTREMELY competitive.
The Meh:
-The Driving Mechanics, Its arcadey and tough to master.
-The Graphics, the environments look great but cars(post carnage) look terrible.
The BAD:
-Soundtrack, besides the good ol RR music, there's dubstep, not a big fan.
-Lack of Campaign, all you get is a silly story in an intro cinematic and thats it, the rest is just a list of races and you earn points to unlock Cars, Tiles for the editor and even more races to do.
Overall, It ain't RR but its a pretty good racing game, good features, decent racing mechanics, fun multiplayer. Though i do think Bugbear and Namco shoulda teamed up for a new FlatOut, this will do for now, its a RENT.
