A true next-generation video game experience, Ridge Racer 6 lets players race across stunning high-definition locales through an in-depth single player World Xplorer mode and compete online for the first time in the history of the Ridge Racer series.

Ridge Racer 6 takes advantage of the 360's power to deliver an intense and immersive drift racing experience yet, with an unprecedented sense of speed, slick graphics and more than 130 cars which let players enjoy every hairpin drift and high-speed straightaway like never before. Players can compete in the game's World Xplorer mode, entering races to unlock new cars, prizes, and brand new routes. By performing successful high-speed drifts, players will fill up their Nitrous Gauge to unleash a powerful burst of speed to pass opponents and secure victory. Ridge Racer 6 evolves the nitrous system even further, allowing players to build up their Nitrous Gauge for even more explosive double and triple boosts of speed resulting in more exhilaration and enjoyment in negotiating courses.

For the first time in the history of the series, Ridge Racer 6 lets players drift online against up to 14 gearheads from around the world on Xbox Live. Players can choose to compete in a number of different online modes including Online Battle Mode or view live online races from the sidelines in Spectator Mode. For ultimate bragging rights, the best times for individual courses achieved in Global Time Attack Mode can be uploaded to Xbox Live, where ghost car data can also be downloaded to provide world class challenges for Ridge Racer fans.

Nice and slick

Jordi from Penzance, England, 25th September, 2006

Its got that good old ridge racer feel to it, which is not my cup of tea, but its a good game to have a bash at, the graphics are great, and there are loads and loads of things to do...great game, worth a rental but not a buy, wait for the later next gen racers coming your way such as test drive unlimited

Not As Good. But...

Graham King from Brighton, England, 19th October, 2006

For the people who are saying that this game is 'Not As Good' As PGR I Totally agree with you. But, it's not that far behind! I am loving the layout of the game, so simple to get your head around, UNLIKE PGR, It took me about 2 hours to figure out where the 'Online Play' is..:P... And the startup on this game.. Pacman, my all time favorite arcade game, thats what helps it on its way to four stars for me. Oh, and one other thing, when your racing in game, and you hear the voices. 'Your in 1st place!', 'Hes gaining on you' Ect... thats also what does it for me. It remind me of a game in a arcade room, with a steering wheel ect.. the graphics remind me of that. Anyway, overall I am going to rate this game at four stars.:)

No better than a ps1 game with fancy graphics

A Customer from Kent, 24th July, 2006

Not only is the commentator highly annoying to the point where your ears bleed the game itself its just appalling. Its dosn't even have an arcade feel to it. If this game was in the bargin bin at £9.99, i still wouldn't buy it. If you crash into a wall it dosn't scrape it unrealisticly starts juddering!

CRAP!

A Customer from Ipswich, 7th November, 2008

I think this game was absolutely rubbish, it is just so basic and yes i know thats what ridge racer was like but you would have thought they might have updated it or something! its just slightly boring and the menu is a bit confusing too, your not really sure where your going.

Ridge Racer 6

Kazuki from from London, 14th October, 2008

Okay- So I picked this up for renting. I didn't expect it to be great, because of the age of its release date. Although thinking that- I had a surprise! This game was after all, quite a good standard racing game. The graphics are not that bad ether. Making it more enjoyable was the back ground music, witch plays during gameplay, online or offline! Its also a bit of an arcade style game. Don't worry though- I know that sounds bad, but the solid drifting gameplay makes up for it. 3/5 a rather good game!

Stylish but no depth

superjim from from Newcastle, UK, 12th July, 2008

Not a bad game, very stylish and looks beautiful. It's main fault is its lack of depth- just like all the previous Ridge Racer games. I rented PGR4 at the same time as RR6 and totally recommend PGR4 instead. RR6 is cool for a few hours of mucking about.
