4/5
New sequels of Ridge Racer are great. The introduction of drifting and nitrous makes the game more fun and enjoyable than the previous Ridge Racers. The game is not a driving simulator but more on arcade racing. Fast and stable graphics but the nitrous animation is less impressive than Ridge Racer 6. Some nice high beat tunes accompany you all the way. Engine roars and tyres burning effects are great. Difficulty is quite challenging on the later stages. Practice more and you should get to enjoy the game and drift like a pro.
