Ridge Racer 7 is Amazing May 8, 2007 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this game along with my PS3. I was amazed by the Full HD graphics. The SIXAXIS controller motion sensing is difficult to get used to. But it was fun when I used the nitro and made the car drift. I like drifting so much, you cannot do it in many other racing games.

Drifting at its best April 2, 2008 Visually: This game looks fantastic, although this game was released with the PS3 (meaning its been around for a little while now) Deffinitly catches the eye and visually awesome.
Gameplay: The drifting in the game is hair raising and the online capabilities are also really good
Deffinitly worth the money!

For those not familiar with the Ridge Racer series, don't expect Gran Turismo. All of the cars in the RR are fictitious, as are the tracks - but this is no bad thing!
Ridge Racer is all about the racing and mastering the drift style necessary for this game can be a little frustrating to start but when it all comes together and you light the triple nitrous coming out of a hairpin, I dare you not to laugh out loud.
Ridge Racer is a traditional launch title for the PlayStation series and RR7 keeps up its standard by offering an effective demonstration of what PS3 can do over its predecessor.
The graphics (and make sure you have a 1080 screen for this) are just brilliant, from the fine details like the sunlight glinting on the car windows, water splashing when you race under a waterfall or leaves blowing up around you as you tear through a forest, to the background vistas of mountains, lakes, industrial cities.
You won't have time however to gawp. The first few races you'll do are simple "manufacturer" challenges which unlock access to the cars in questions for the racing series. Once you're in the series itself you have the choice of grand prix, with the familiar format of a number of races in a row and points awarded per race, or individual challenges, such as racing from the back of the pack to the front in 3 laps.
As you progress the competition get tougher and faster and of course your skill will improve, but spending your winnings (credit and reputation) on new parts is all important. Normal upgrades include engine boosts, faster nito systems and better handling but there are also special parts which allow you to come up with new racing methods - I won't spoil it here. Access to these parts though only comes by building up a relationship with the manufacturers, which means winning races with their cars or their parts.
And if you do beat the in-game challenges, unlock all the parts and build the ultimate ridge racer, you still have to face the on-line battles through the PS network and that's when you'll really discover if you're any good...
All of this you can get from the packaging, but you really don't appreciate just want a great indicator of PS3's ability this is, although this is just a start remember, until you try it.
Overall, Ridge Racer 7 is a great game, slightly let down by the limited number of tracks but those who want a "real" car simulator should wait for Gran Turismo as the RR7 style will frustrate rather than excite.
That said, definitely a recommended launch title (alongside Resistance, Fall of Man).
It's like Marmite September 4, 2007 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Loads of strong reviews here. I guess you either love Ridge Racer or you hate it. Basically, if you like really realistic racing games, then yes, you'll find this game un-manageable. On the contrary if, like me, you like more arcade-ish type games like wipeout then you will love Ridge Racer. The main issue in Ridge Racer are the drifts (or skids). They can put you off at first but when you understand how they work the game becomes incredibly fun. That's why if you like Wipeout and are used to slide on corners then you'll be un expert at RR in no time. Graphics are very good, cars are shiny and customisable to a high level of details. ( free downloadable add-ons available) There is also loads to do: Arcade races, Championships, Manufacturers challenges, Missions and Online Racing! So you can show off to the rest of the globe. So, Hate it or Love it, You decide!
