    Niche game.. The physics are ridiculous, and the races are repetitive.

    Ridge Racer, is shiny and new, if you're still in the 80's PGR, need for Speed and Burnout, hell even Gran Turismo have moved the game on, Namco and Ridge Racer just haven't moved on. Not as fun as Burnout, not as challenging as Need for Speed most wanted, and not as details as PGR3 or Even GT on the PS2.

    Ridge Racer 6 is a diabolical racer from Namco that is riddled with problems.

    The cars are near impossible to control,and the AI is cheap as hell.The game isn't fun at all,just really frustrating. The graphics are decent,and the framerate blazes at 60 fps and never drops,about the only thing in this game that doesn't suck. Sound design and soundtrack are terrible,and the in-game    Ridge Racer 6 is a diabolical racer from Namco that is riddled with problems.

    Sound design and soundtrack are terrible,and the in-game announcer drove me crazy with how annoying she was.Why can't every in-game announcer be like the one from Crackdown.

    Overall,Ridge Racer 6 is terrible,one of the worst racers on 360.    … Expand

    Ridge Racer is just too basic when compared to the competition. Its fun for the first while, but it grows old quick.

    Anyone buying a Ridge Racer game knows exactly what they’re getting and won’t be disappointed with this shiny and seemingly unending racing bonanza. [Christmas 2005, p.129]

    Mediocre at best. If you’re trying to find a simple racer to appease someone who is confused with such daunting tasks as, say, reciting the alphabet, then Ridge Racer 6 might be what you’re looking for.
