Ridge Racer 7 for PlayStation 3 - Review

Classic Game Room reviews RIDGE RACER 7 for the PlayStation 3 video game console system. The Ridge Racer series from Namco has been a classic arcade driving video game for years. In this seventh installment you drift and slide your way to nitrous oxide nitro boosting your car into warp speed to defeat your opponents in all kinds of crazy races. Collect cars, earn fake money and play this game at your own risk. Classic Game Room didn't care for it and that's a shame because CGR HD likes most racing games. Why didn't we like it? Well, that's kind of obvious. "AWESOME, YOU'RE SLIPSTREAMING!" Yes, the voice dialog is back seat driving at its worst. The graphics are sub par for a PS3 title and as this review shows the gameplay is lacking. If you want to play some great arcade style racing games check out Hydro Thunder and Fatal Inertia!! But if you really want to drive cars then you needed to play Gran Turismo, Forza or Test Drive. RR7 wasn't our cup of beer, but that doesn't mean you won't like it. It just means that we hate all that they put into this game. Watch the gameplay in this game as seen in the footage. Is this the worst PS3 launch title? SLIPSTREAMING!!!
