Ridge Racer Unbounded for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I've had this game for 2 hours. I'm sending it back. It just didn't work. If you want to drift, you have to actually get into a fist fight with the car. By the time you've got it loose, it's already too late and your crashing into something. even if you manage to get it to slide around a corner, getting it back under control is almost impossible. There was also what I like to call "Burnout Syndrome". When you "Frag" (I thought having that term in a racing game was odd) a rival, you get to watch them crash in slow motion while the AI takes over your car and immediately drives into something stupid. The soundtrack had too much Skrillex (I despise Skrillex) and the rest of the other 4 artists they had weren't exactly to my taste either. Despite all this complete and utter suckage, there were some very interesting concepts that I would like to see carried over into another, better executed game. Driving through an exploding building never got old, being able to crash throught certain elements of the track that other games would have made unbreakable was pretty sweet, and showing things like your position, the split, and your points in the enviroment, basicly eliminating the need for a hud was pretty cool. Overall this game had potential in spades, but all of it was mired in wonky controls and a horribad soundtrack. I wouldn't recomend this game to anyone ever.
