RIDGE RACER IS HERE... UNBOUNDED

The latest title in the RIDGE RACER franchise, RIDGE RACER Unbounded gears up to carve its own destructive path with a new breed of arcade racing.

RIDGE RACER Unbounded brings an unexpected dimension to the series, delivering an original blast of ferocious racing adrenaline. Join the Unbounded street racing gang, lead by Kara Shindo, and test your driving skills against rivals in every street and alley of Shatter Bay. Prove your worth, get respect and expand your turf.

Features:

  • Crash through everything - Cutting edge physics and effects combine to bring direct destruction like you’ve never seen before. Unleash your rage to obliterate everything in your way and carve your own path.
  • Race in urban environments - Shatter Bay lives by its own rules and is ripe for being torn apart by the overpowered vehicles rampaging through its many areas, including the commercial zone, refinery, port, and high-rise construction site.
  • New breed of racing machines - Traditional racing machines are out and dozens of badass street machines are in, including the legendary RIDGE RACER Angel and Devil cars.

 

The Ridge Racer: Unbounded Limited Edition will include three extra racing machines and five sizzling new Namco paint jobs. The three additional cars detailed below bring more wall-shattering variety and driving choice to the roster of cars already in the game:


The Ghoster: This low rider coupe with its electric blue finish isn't for cruisin' but for bruisin'
The Immortal: This red super sports beast isn't easy to tame, but it's worth the effort

4.0 out of 5 stars The spiritual successor to Burnout Revenge 4 April 2012
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
Burnout Revenge on the PS2 was a FANTASTIC game, and sadly the PS3 version (Paradise) took a different, free-roaming direction and lost the main thing that made the Burnout games great, rather than good.

Ridge Racer this is not, but let's face it, the Ridge Racer recipe is now rather long in the tooth and the thought of racing made up cars and drifting perfectly around corners requires little in the way of skill.

Ridge Racer Unbounded - think of a marriage between Burnout Revenge and Split Second and you're pretty much there. There is also an easy to use track creator and tracks and events can then be globally uploaded (a la Little Big Planet) for others to use. Saying that, having this game as I do in it's first week of release, I have yet to find a single soul online!!! This is rather puzzling....

Anyway, the game is great, there's lots happening all at once and no sign of slowdown on the framerate. The cities and environments are well rendered and the minimalistic HUD takes some getting used to (no map) but it works.

My only criticisms of the game are that sometime a frag (RRU's name for a "takedown") involves you losing speed even though you cannot control your car during the replay. Speaking of (race) replays - there are none, which is a shame..... and the final thing is that you can only frag one car at a time, whereas the joy from getting double or triple takedowns in Burnout was immense.

Still, on the whole this is the best thing on the PS3 for "rage driving" since Burnout Revenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars brilliant 8 July 2012
By craig
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
this game is brilliant a little bit better than i expected i have played ridge racer games in the past and was dissapointed. but this one is awesome its like split second,motorstorm and burnout rolled into one. u can crash through buildings u can perform takedowns on other drivers just like u can in burnout. u wont be dissapointed if u buy this game its probably the best racing game on ps3 except from dirt showdown. give it a go u wont be dissapointed also u can create your own tracks and put jumps on it and explosive barrels and various other items i am suprised how good this game is just buy it or u will miss out.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE HELL OF A GAME! 2 April 2012
By Hornet
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Please ignore the negative reviews posted here RRU is one hell of a joy ride! Although it greatly draws inluence from Split second, burnout and motorstorm apocalyse, it combines the game mechanics of the 3 mentioned games and blends it into something truly fantastic. The explosions, drifts and smashes. Its brilliant.
Oh and did I mention the soundtrack?, its trully amazing!

If you are into adrenaline pumping street racing action, then Ridge Racer unbounded is definately the game for you.
