There are alternatives, but the choice is really down to personal preference, since even the right analogue stick offers the same digital control. By default, accelerating and braking are controlled respectively by the X and Square buttons. Steering is quite accurate using either the D-pad or left analogue stick. This is a mite disappointing for such a powerful system, but - unless you're looking for it - it's not going to spoil your fun or your lap times.Ĭontrolling your motor remains the same as in previous Ridge Racer titles.
RIDGE RACER PS VITA ALL CARS FULL
Once you get up to full speed with all this whizzing past the game can get a little stuttery, struggling at times to maintain 30 FPS. The courses and scenery are absolutely stunning, and so are the car models.
There are Spot Races, where you pick a track and a car to race against AI competition, and Time Attack, in which you're up against the clock over one or three laps. There's also a nice tie-in to Near that allows you to download and race against the ghosts of anyone who's been in your vicinity.Īs a result of all the online features, you won't find a career mode as such, but there are still a couple of ways to play solo. Ridge Racer allows you to browse the online rankings for a well-matched enemy. Ghost Battle takes racing against the clock and jacks it up a notch by adding a ghostly competitor. If not, Internet Battle allows you to join up to seven others over the PlayStation Network in a high-octane tussle for the chequered flag. If you're lucky enough to be in the same room you can race head to head over an ad hoc connection. In World Race, you find three ways to do battle with other humans. Upon first loading the game you choose between one of four teams and from then on everything you do matters because, win or lose, you're earning points and helping out your team. Driving at ridiculous speeds and sliding sideways through corners still brings cheap thrills aplenty.
Ridge Racer has always shunned the ultra-realistic car porn of games like Gran Turismo in favour of being buckets of fun. Thankfully, there's one thing that definitely remains intact - the furious white-knuckle racing. Developer Cellius has made some quite severe cuts to keep the price low, however, which may cause the whole deal to backfire.

Ridge Racer is no exception, but for some rather unfortunate reasons.įans of the series are getting quite revved up about the game being cheap, which was presumably a strategy to get lots of people joining the online competition. A big brand launch title is always going to spark a lot of interest.
