"A new console, another Ridge Racer game. It’s quite amazing that this time the new console doesn’t have the name “Sony” emblazoned on it. Whether you are a fan or not of the arcade racing series, there’s no doubting its influence on console launches. It was the first game I purchased when importing my PlayStation for a whopping $500 back in 1994. Namco is hoping that Xbox 360 owners will see the same merits and add Ridge Racer 6 to their collection later this year. A limited demo of the game was on display at the Tokyo Game Show and we managed to get a little time behind the wheel of the latest in the slick, arcade-racing series.
Classic Ridge Racer
Although we expect for Namco to pack in some Xbox 360 exclusive features into their latest effort, the TGS demo was a little on the thin side, but did give a good indication as to how things will feel on the track." [more]
