@battleathlete Thanks!

One of the worst racing games I've eveer played. ohhh it was bad.

[dreamslayer]

@1337gam3r07 mind saying what was bad. For an arcade racer this is pretty top notch.

[1337gam3r07]

@dreamslayer The graphics were painstakingly bland and outdated, the game play was fatiguing at best. I just found zero value in even trying it.

[dreamslayer]

@1337gam3r07 Typical Ridge Racer style. Very vibrant and shiny. Not a lot going on but the main focus is the detail in the cars rather than the tracks. I can see why you may not enjoy the gameplay but personally I am into the RR series, I just love the Drifting/Nitrous mechanic.  I can see why you may not like it but to say it's the worst isn't a very accurate statement. Trust me, I can give you a lot of terrible racers to try.

Ace Combat is a horrible flight sim. Ha-durrrrr! Namco is the shit and this game only costs like 5 bucks.

the game sucks and the best thing about it is the graphics

I hate racing games.

@yyyy2999 Yeah... arcade racers normally are less realistic.

[Dreamcube017]

@dreamslayer Maybe the graphics aren't perfect, but I'd have to disagree about the tracks being bland. There's a lot going on in the background and I think they are nicely detailed.

Plus, the game isn't trying to be something new, it's trying to be a fun, relaxed, yet classy arcade racer and it succeds at doing this wonderfully. The presentation of this game is really nice.

I've seen others try to compare it to stuff like GRID... that's not even an arcade style game.

Thanks for the opiinion. I do agree it's a LOT of races, but I think the music in this game is really good. So you don't like electronic music... fine.

Also I actually like the announcer in this game. What game DOES have a REALLY GOOD announcer... which one, 'cause I'd like to hear it. This guy has enthusiasm. he's excited. He sounds like he actually CARES about what's going on. I've heard bad announcers, and this isn't one of them.

btw i love the whole drifting part of it.. i love drifting in games.. but yeah man thanks again im def. gonna sub and hope to find other reviews on games im thinking about so i can hear what you think on them. keep up the good work.

[thedrkness1925]

i must say that the people giving u hard time are full of crap.. in my opinion.. i enjoyed this review. and i like smaller reviews cuz A you arent a big name company being paid to review said product and i feel like im getting an honest opinion from another gamer.. i know im super late but hey i still found this review and am gonna convince my friends to buy it so we can atleast race eachother online. thanks again dreamslayer
